Modular design

Having removed the rear, the battery can be lifted out and replaced. Using a regular Phillips #00 screwdriver, the display is easily removed and the modules are held in using only press fit sockets.

Reception
The Fairphone 4 received mostly positive reviews, however the lack of headphone jack was criticized. Fairphone was praised for decision to guarantee software support till 2025 and its 5 years of warranty.[8][9]
