    Fairphone, through a herculean development effort, has been the only Android OEM to keep going even after Qualcomm drops support.

    That seems to say that while Qualcomm will drop support, Fairphone will not. Which means that it’s very likely that the Fairphone will receive updates - including new Android OS versions - even after EOL by Qualcomm.

    And given Fairphone’s history, there’s every reason to believe in their commitment.

      Yeah, what they did with the previous fairphones was impressive. Updating your OS for an out of support chipset and still having it pass Google CTS was no small feat. Hopefully, other manufacturers will take a note or two and improve in a similar manner in both hardware repair and software support.
