With five major OS ugrades and eight years of patches.

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

I’m on my 5th year with my Oneplus 6.

I suspect I’d I do a full wipe, a new OS and a fresh battery I should be able to keep it going for a couple more.

Phones plateaued for me. It runs fast. It holds more then enough data.

Camera is a little slow. I’ve been told to stop using the default camera app. But then the double click to open won’t work.

This is exactly what I did on my OP7 (only 4 years old). A new battery, a new USB port and a new back (thank you OnePlus for the back in glass).

I installed another ROM… And the only drawback on that “brand new” phone is that the camera is slow and not as good than the stock one ( even with Gcam or others derivative).

Same, running a xiaomi mi 6 since early 2018 with LineageOS and it’s still perfect for me. Sure, new phones have better cameras and screen but the difference is not that noticeable. I’m using a google camera app so that improves the pictures significantly so that compensates for my needs
