Fairphone 4 Design and Build

Design and Build

The Fairphone 4 takes a clear stance on sustainability with its build and design. It features a combination of materials that include a Gorilla Glass 5 front, an aluminum frame, and a plastic back, making it both sturdy and somewhat eco-friendly. Given its dimensions of 162 x 75.5 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 225 grams, it initially feels hefty, but this builds confidence in its durability, especially with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. Fairphone's modular design allows users to easily repair or upgrade components like the battery and camera, which aligns well with its eco-conscious ethos. Its use of a nano-SIM and eSIM also makes it flexible in terms of connectivity.
