Today, Fairphone tweeted that it will be supporting the Fairphone 3, released in 2019, until 2026. That’s seven years of updates on the stock OS, unheard of in the Android world.

Fairphone 3+ is an upgrade for Fairphone 3 with a better camera module; it can still be purchased new from resellers, and refurbished directly from Fairphone in the EU.

I’m on a Fairphone 4, but this is really neat. 5 years should be the minimum for a phone, and we should be striving towards 10 years of use total.

Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn’t a competition, it’s a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.
