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

Is Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 an environmental friendly phone built by well paid human beings?

It's not a premium phone, showing that OLED and 5G are not premium features.

Xiaomi is the essence of Chinaware: Xiaomi are hard to open/repair (environmental unfriendly), workers don't get a fair wage, materials are not fairly resourced, it has a locked bootloader, they have their own bloatware (MIUI), probably contain spyware, and likely don't even pay fair taxes.

Also, the successor of Fairphone 4, Fairphone 5, has 5G and OLED.
