Fairphone 2 is getting a new Android update today.
This is the last major update for this smartphone launched in 2015.
A final update for the Fairphone 2
Launched in 2015, the Fairphone 2 benefits from a new update allowing it to migrate to Android 10. This is the last major update for the smartphone, which will continue to benefit from future security patches. An exceptional longevity on the Android smartphone market, the Fairphone 2 having been marketed seven years ago.
Originally, the Fairphone 2 was launched under Android 5.1, and its longevity today serves as an example, even if the brand obviously places sustainability and an eco-responsible approach among its top priorities. Among the competition (on Android), the rhythm of updates tends to be shorter and shorter, so that some have implemented guarantees for users, with generally three major Android updates.
A feat therefore for the small Fairphone 2, especially since the latter is based on a Snapdragon 801 architecture, a chip abandoned long ago by Qualcomm. Remember that Apple also tends to ensure a certain longevity, the new iOS 15 being compatible with the iPhone 6S, also launched in 2015.
