The Fairphone 5 will get 8 years of security updates: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/180206715370...


it's laughable because i doubt they have any proof that Qualcomm will continue to deliver updates. fairphone is just a intermediary.

they are using the long life Qualcomm parts, that only guarantee production and stock for x years. maybe with software updates by an intern.

it definitely will not guarantee a new driver set compiling to a recent kernel if the old kernel must be upgraded for security or anything else.

so it's kinda bold they promise that with out any disclaimer that they are just hopeful
