The headline says it all - the FP4 isn´t the perfect phone. In fact, it has some minor to major issues one comes across over the years.. and either overcomes them or is content to just live with it.

The major flaws are (to me)

- the ghost touch issue, which i fixed by reseating the screen and heightening the pressure on the connector.

- the weird behaviour when using dual-sim. sometimes, it takes ages to find a new network connection when changing countries or after just driving through a tunnel.. sometimes it just works fine. can´t figure out why it behaves like that.

Minor flaws:

- camera sub-par, compared to even a pixel 4a.. but it does the job.

I really was thinking about buying the fp5 to get rid of these issues.. but then I remembered what I wanted to achieve in the first place when buying the fp4: keep a phone for YEARS. It´s two years old now, and will surely get me through another 3, if not more. one just has to learn to be contend.
