  • The Fairphone 2 just received its final software update.
  • This means the device received seven years of continuous software support.
  • The phone rides off into the sunset on Android 10, but started with Android 5 Lollipop.

In the world of Android, Samsung is the best top-ten OEM regarding Android support commitments. The company offers four Android upgrades and five years of security patches for most of its devices — including mid-rangers. This is a better commitment than even Google provides to Pixel phones.

However, even Samsung can’t compete with Fairphone. Today, that company issued the final update to the Fairphone 2 (via The Verge), which launched way back in 2015. When it debuted, the phone had Android 5 Lollipop. It reached end-of-life status with Android 10 over seven years later and with 43 updates under its belt.
