Fairphone 5, the latest offering from Fairphone, boasts a remarkable 8-10 years of Android support, thanks to its choice of an "industrial IoT" SoC from Qualcomm. The phone features a repairable design with easily replaceable parts, a 6.46-inch OLED display, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a removable 4200mAh battery. It is not available for sale in the US but can be preordered in Europe for 699 euros (~$753). The Fairphone 5 aims to break away from Qualcomm's consumer upgrade cycle and promises extended support beyond the typical lifespan of smartphones.
