Fairphone proves the usual excuses for ending Android support aren't valid.

That alone is worth a lot. Their endeavour for longevity is also great. I hope they get the attention they need.

By supporting the very manufacture to blame for short support times? Qualcomm is the root of the problem.

They don't provide the bloody drivers for newer Android versions.

Manufacturers can only provide security updates after 2 major updates.
