No one in the Android ecosystem can hold a candle to Apple’s software support timeline for the iPhone, but there is one company that comes the closest: Fairphone. Following in the footsteps of the Fairphone 2, the Fairphone 3 is also getting an Android-industry-best seven years of OS support. Fairphone continues to run circles around giant tech companies that have a lot more resources than it does, and it’s doing this even in the face of component vendors like Qualcomm dropping support for the phone’s core components.
You’d hope that others follow suit, but don’t hold your breath. Samsung is probably closest, but not for their whole range I think. That said, Fairphone is not very quick with their updates. Still 7 years is nearly double the time that most Android OEMs give so you can certainly get your money’s worth out of these devices.
