The Pixel 8 series will get seven years of software support, but Google says the phones will also get spare parts for seven years.

    How does this compare to the Fairphone 5 and their promise of updates and parts? Trying to figure out what’s best for my money

        Is that from GSMArena’s review or elsewhere? Their test wasn’t very promising, I have to say.

          i was disapointed i wanted to get the 5 but it seems the chip they used is more for industrial use so it doesnt fair well in mobile devices when it comes to battery, i can live with crappy camera, but not a crappy battery life. guess ill have to wait for the 6

        Dang that sucks. I’m already having battery issues with my S21 so I was hoping the Fairphone would be better

        Battery life doesn’t matter on the Fairphone 5 when you can swap the battery in seconds.
