Fairphone 3 gets 7 years of updates, besting every other Android OEM - Lemmy

Thoughts?

From what I heard many Fairphone 3s didn't even survive that long. Quality, audio quality and performance all seem to be pretty bad. That combined with its very high price point kinda defeats the point of it. The idea is great, but the execution isn't.

I’m using a FP4, and here the signs are reversed. The hardware is working so far, but the software is incredibly buggy and instable.

Add to it the very mediocre hardware (slow, outdated SoC, terrible camera, bad battery life) and it’s not a fun phone to use. Especially not at that price point.

If the software is a major issue, why not install a Rom like LineageOS?

The 4 will also run calyx.

Still no ToF camera driver, but otherwise solid performance without the google bloat
