Android 10 update to 7-year-old Fairphone 2

Usually, when we want to buy a smartphone, we consider how many years of software updates that model will receive. Even though some companies produce quality models in terms of technical features and design, they may not be preferred by users because they fall short in software support.

For this reason, it is important for a device to receive at least two or three years of software support, to keep it up-to-date and to extend its useful life a little longer. There has been a rather surprising development on this issue recently. A seven-year-old smartphone that first debuted in 2015 received an Android update.

Android users happy: Storage issue will be rooted out

Thanks to Google’s new feature, there will no longer be a need to delete applications when the storage is not enough on Android phones.

Seven-year-old Fairphone 2 gets Android 10 update

Fairphone, which started its activities in 2013 with the slogan of producing smart phones that minimize the negative environmental and social effects, has recently released the Android 10 update for Fairphone 2, which it launched in 2015.

Running the Android 5.1 Lollipop version at the time it was first released, the smartphone has always managed to keep up-to-date on the software side, even though it lagged behind today’s standards in terms of hardware. Finally, Fairphone 2, which has also received the Android 9 version in the past years, started to experience the fifth major Android update with the last update.

There are some reasons why the device is constantly up to date. Because Fairphone is not a very active manufacturer in the industry, unlike companies such as Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple. At this point, the number of models that the company released in this nine-year period did not exceed the fingers of one hand. Thus, a new model did not come out all the time, and the existing devices were constantly updated.

So what do you think about this subject? How many years did the smartphone you use receive software support? So, are you satisfied with the updates your device has received so far? Do not forget to share it with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
