Fairphone 5 sets a new standard with 8-10 years of Android support

The Fairphone 5 will keep on trucking until at least 2031.

Ars Technica
@arstechnica When Qualcomm's support ends, I guess Fairphone will just freeze the latest Qualcomm binaries as is in the vendor partition and only update the Android framework ?
@jnthnkl @arstechnica According to Fairphone, they specifically chose a chipset from qualcomm that has a guaranteed 8 years of support.
That means they have a higher chance of actually reaching their advertised 8 years of support, compared to previous models that never reached their advertised support target precisely because the SoC reached end of life before then.

@steakfrite @arstechnica 8 years ? I have read 5.

"[...] because Qualcomm wants to give "industrial" gear a longer lifetime (5 years) than "consumer" products."

@jnthnkl @arstechnica You might be right... I over-interpreted FP's blog post about the fairphone 5. 5 years of qualcomm support is supposedly better, but still a bit disappointing...
