Woah ~~8~~ (probably 5 ) guaranteed years of security updates ~~they beat google to it~~ They didnt mention any security hardware updates like a secure element so probably no grapheneos support still though. Be a good travel phone though but dont expect security
Edit: Seems that their security updates will be limited
Rolling release Linux distros: "...and?"
Yeah that's really cool for all those Linux phones out there. Oh wait, there are like two and a half models in total and none of them are great? Damn.
The Fairphone supports Linux.
This is great, and I hope they exceed it. 8 years is still less than what Apple’s oldest phones are getting. The 2013 iPhone 5s is still receiving security updates this year in 2023.
