Lets not stop here with a mere Android10 release the very same day Android11 appears. Do not lean back and rest, but continue the speedy and quick upgrade to Android11. Please do NOT wait another year once again until maybe an Android12 eventually appears. If the hardware is Android11 capable, the SOC, CPU/GPU, components etc then please do so. And do it now. Sustainability and lasting can be proven to us, the user-base right now, and not a year later. It ought to be clear and known right now of the current FP3 comonents are Android11 compatible or not, if they are supported by the upstream manufacturers and the platform provider (google and related) and lasting.
Speedy and immediate security updates are not an optional insignificant appendage or to be belittled and the user-base should not be merely put-off and these kind of technical things postponed a year or similar time frames.
After all, Fairphone company is selling a technical product. And longevity also comes from trust in the product. Trust is generated by most secure and current software and technology. This is a software running product after all.
I have always wondered why apparently even Fairphone as a company seemingly doesnt value this forum and where we as a user-base gather, and output, exchange and relay all this tremendous information, broad knowledge and experience and feedback to the actual product that the company is putting out to the market.
This would seem as an invaluable resource to me if I had a say in this, if I was a stakeholder or if it was âmyâ company etc.
And we as a user-base should demand for the mother company, Fairphone itself, to listen, to visit and to hold dear this forum and our input and exchange of experience here. After all, this place is maintained and directly linked, introduced and run by Fairphone as a company. This reads forum.fairphone.com and not just anything else.
We as a user-base should not accept this harsh and unfriendly behavior from companies who did not yet understand the vast and deep input and direct experience with the very product the company produces.
I have too often experienced being shooed around between half-baked websites and tools, between contact means and support persons and incomplete and non-exhaustive support resources just for some company to make an excuse that its user is misbehaving in some way of not engaging properly in the companies way to handle things.
Instead Faiprhone should very much frequent, visit, listen and take into very careful consideration this whole forum and its fruitful discussions.
Thanks for truly listening.
