Barely a day before its official presentation, a shower of images of the Fairphone 4 are revealed. As a reminder, this smartphone brand unlike any other wants to offer phones that are fully removable and easily repairable. The Fairphone 2 and Fairphone 3 had also received a 10/10 on iFixit, a site that is interested in the repairability of tech objects.

The site WinFuture is at the origin of this leak. The site is renowned for its particular reliability and until recently has orchestrated, with accuracy, the leaks of Galaxy z flip 3 and Galaxy z fold 3 just before their official presentation at the Galaxy Unpacked.

First glimpses

This first overview already gives an idea of ​​the objectives of the Dutch brand with this new model. The design has been clearly revised to approach current standards.

We can note for example the arrival of a metal frame, which should considerably improve durability and comfort of use. Note also that the back of the smartphone always consists of a shell that can be easily removed, suggesting the presence of a drums removable.

Note also the absence of a jack port. A little surprising news which should certainly not please all fans of the brand.

The Fairphone 4 should therefore offer a 6.3-inch Full HD screen. The fact that the fingerprint reader is located on the power supply end on the side suggests that it will be a LCD panel. Too bad for the display quality which may take a hit.

The Fairphone 3 did not shine with its photo quality. For the Fairphone 4, we expect it to be equipped with a 48 megapixel camera on the rear, aided by an optical stabilizer.

As for the other two holes visible on the photo module, we do not yet know what they could house.

The first Fairphone 5G?

A few days ago a possible benchmark of the Fairphone 4 leaked, suggesting that it would be equipped with the Snapdragon 750G of Qualcomm. It is a chip 5G, which would bring this mobile to be the first Fairphone 5G. According to WinFuture, two versions would be available with 128 GB and 256 GB of storage, all with a price starting around 600 euros. Two colors are expected: gray and green.

To confirm or deny this information, no need to wait very long. The official presentation of the Fairphone 4 is expected this September 30 at 12 p.m. KST.

After having implemented the repairability index on smartphones, tablets and laptops (among others), France can already congratulate itself on some pretty successes. An iFixit representative highlights these signs …
