Today, Fairphone tweeted that it will be supporting the Fairphone 3, released in 2019, until 2026. That’s seven years of updates on the stock OS, unheard of in the Android world.
Fairphone 3+ is an upgrade for Fairphone 3 with a better camera module; it can still be purchased new from resellers, and refurbished directly from Fairphone in the EU.
I’m on a Fairphone 4, but this is really neat. 5 years should be the minimum for a phone, and we should be striving towards 10 years of use total.
I thought to myself “that’s cool. What about hardware? After a few years parts will need changing”. Quickly found there’s lots of spare parts in the fairphone shop.
