Fairphone beats the entire Android ecosystem with six years of support - Ars Technica
Nov 24, 2021 37 secs
The company announced it is shipping Android 10 for the Fairphone 2, a six-year-old device that originally shipped with Android 5.

For Fairphone, shipping Android updates for this long has meant going outside the normal update support structure.

Without Qualcomm's help, Fairphone had to enlist the help of the Lineage OS Android community to get the phone updated.

The difference between Fairphone and an aftermarket ROM is that Fairphone is still passing all of Google's CTS tests and officially licensing the Play Store, which is a huge undertaking.

While Apple is a multi-trillion-dollar company with all the resources in the world, Fairphone proves any OEM can offer long-term support if it wants to; they just don't want to invest the time and money to make it happen.
