    The Fairphone. Fairphone 2 was updated from Android 5 through 10 (5 years on the latest version) Fairphone 3 started at 9 and is currently on Android 13, that’s five years, and hasn’t had it’s last update yet.

    That’s two Android phones with at least 5 years on the latest OS, and Fairphone 2 got patch updates until this year, giving it support and updates from 2014 until 2023

      FairPhone 3 user here. It’s true, just updated to Android 13, came with 9.

      Additionally: Micro-SD, Dual-SIM, replaceable battery, can be repaired by myself at home, cheap/fair priced replacement parts and ethically sourced ressources.

      It. is. possible.

        Granted, Fairphone had to entirely do the BSP and entire update themselves because the SoC vendor doesn’t support A13.

        The real issue here isn’t with the OEMs it’s the chip set vendors not supporting Android as long.
