They advert for a support between 8 and 10 years (at least 5 major version of Android, and security patches after that).
I don’t know their politic about the availability of the repair parts, but if it’s for the same amount of time, I’ll be happy.
I changed the battery and the usb port of my OP7 last year… the oneplus site didn’t sell them anymore, I had to go on aliexpress to have both … That’s quite frustrating for a device that is 5 years old…
That’s why Fairphone choose a QCM6490 for the fairphone 5. It’s far from being the best, but it has longer term support than mainstream oriented SOC.
Since the SOC will probably be enough for most of users, it’s not a bad option I guess.
Well then I really hope the Fairphone 5 is gonna get really long term support and start a new trend in that regard.
Just buying a new phone every 5 years isn’t sustainable!
