A bit of false advertising since it does not support 5G standalone, only the "fake" 5G NSA which is actually 4G.

Also, LCD screen, really underwhelming.

I was expecting much more for that price.

The whole point of the fairphone is, as the name implies, that it is fair. That means that all the components/elements are sourced from (where possible) sustainable sources and all labour is paid for fairly (no 'sweatshops'). If you would rather have a flashy screen at the lowest price possible with no regard to the actual cost (human, environmental, etc.) then you can buy litterally any other phone on the market but it is great that the fairphone exists for the people that these kind of issues do concern.

The successor, Fairphone 5, has OLED. The Fairphone 4 is about 2 years old now, and AFAIK it has real 5G.

So you want premium features in a niche phone like the fairphone?

5G and OLED are not premium any more, they are quite basic.

e.g. Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 has an OLED screen and supports 5G SA for 140 EUR
