You may order the Murena Fairphone 4 right now. According to the Murena store, it starts at $599 for 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. You'll pay $679 for a model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Via microSD, storage can be increased. Even though the Murena Fairphone 4 is two years old and has a mid-range Qualcomm chip from 2020, it is much more than just its technical specifications. It is a privacy-focused gadget with a version of Android that is disconnected from Google, for starters.

For instance, you'll automatically receive an open-source substitute for Google Maps. Each app is rated for privacy in the device's own directory. As a result, before installing an app, you will be aware of how it collects your data. Google-made applications are still installable. Murena claims to be able to download programs from the Play Store without sending your data to Google. You are free to install a stock version of Android, however Murena cautions you against doing so as it will lose your warranty. For what it's worth, European customers who purchase the Fairphone 4 have the option of receiving either stock Android or /e/ out of the box. For at least five years, Murena intends to supply software updates and security patches, while Fairphone offers a five-year hardware guarantee. Due to the company's emphasis on repairability, the Fairphone is a durable smartphone. The Fairphone 4 has an iFixit repairability rating of 10 out of 10. It is touted to be the first such phone with an IP classification of IP54 and features a modular architecture. Thus, the phone needs to be shielded from the elements like rain and dust. You can replace any component with a standard screwdriver because none of the parts are bonded together.

You'll get a dual 48MP rear camera and a 25MP selfie camera on the camera front. Murena sells replacement parts for the device's body, camera array, speakers, USB-C connector, and 6.3-inch display separately. A USB cable, power adapter, or headphones are not included with the Murena Fairphone 4 in the box. Murena offers those separately in order to encourage customers to utilize cables and adapters they may already have stashed away.

The US release of the device is being framed as a pilot by Fairphone because its primary market is Europe.
