The four-dimensional \phi^4 theory is usually considered to be trivial in the continuum limit. In fact, two definitions of triviality were mixed in the literature. The first one, introduced by Wilson, is equivalent to positiveness of the Gell-Mann -- Low function \beta(g) for g\ne 0; it is confirmed by all available information and can be considered as firmly established. The second definition, introduced by mathematical community, corresponds to the true triviality, i.e. principal impossibility to construct continuous theory with finite interaction at large distances: it needs not only positiveness of \beta(g) but also its sufficiently quick growth at infinity. Indications of true triviality are not numerous and allow different interpretation. According to the recent results, such triviality is surely absent.
