Compact Phones

Phones are too big. We've come to accept that 6" phones are normal, and we're mis-sized. But just a few years ago, people hated big phones. We complained that they were uncomfortable to hold, didn't fit in our pockets, and that these phones were "clumsily oversized." Now big phones are all you can buy. Why? Did everyone's hands and pockets get magically bigger? Are phones big because manufacturers want us to drop them?
Whatever the reason, we know what we want: We want small phones!

The fairphone is not getting updates.
They are months behind, and many phones they should be updating to this day run extremely EOF software
Outdated info iirc. This was the case with android 13 for fp3, which they skipped completely and jumped to 14. They also still push updates regularly for all phones later than fp2.
And if you want bleeding edge updates, no phone maker does that and youll have to look at lineageOS, which tends to break things once in a while.
( im a fp4 user with lineageos running android 15, sep 3 update )
Care to elaborate?
As far as I know, even the older fairphones from 5 years ago or so still have a regular 2-month update cycle?
