TiimeFairphone 3 gets 7 years of updates, besting every other Android OEM
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Add to it the very mediocre hardware (slow, outdated SoC, terrible camera, bad battery life) and it’s not a fun phone to use.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.
HubiIf the software is a major issue, why not install a Rom like LineageOS?
Tbh, I am not convinced they run much better than stock.
Also, I do use stuff like banking apps on my phone, and I don’t want to completely lose that.
