If you can keep the devices’ hardware functional for 6 years.
I hand down my phones for the last decade and have never had a Samsung hardware fail. If you want that, buy a Pixel.
How’re the batteries doing? In my experience, replacement is required after 3-4 years.
My battery is still fine after 5 years
That’s crazy. Not impossible though. If you have an oversized battery for your usage pattern for example, it could last long. Or if you baby it.
I have the battery charge limited to 90%, haven’t done anything else tho. My dad had the same phone and recently upgraded but his battery was also still good. Same experience for most people I know using Android phones, but for some reason my friends with iPhones only have their batteries last 2-3 years. If you aren’t on your phone 8 hours a day, it should last at least the whole day
Fairphone still offers 7 years but this is great to see.
Fairphone offers 7 OS updates and 8 yrs of security updates.
I like to think Fairphone had a little to do with pushing the industry forward.
