Hello everybody,

is there any roadmap when Android is released on FP4?

Thank you!

Welcome to the community forum.

At the latest it should be early 2026, when Android 13 would presumably run out of security update support (judging by prior Android versions).

There have been some rumours about 2024 though.

Look at here

… where there’s no date set for the Fairphone 4 either.
The article gives early 2024 as a date for the Fairphone 5, and else only covers the commitment to bring Android 14 to the Fairphone 4 and 3/3+, too.

But since they interviewed @mikiballester …
@mikiballester: Is there a timeframe to share yet about Android 14 on the Fairphone 4?

At this moment, i think it given no release date for android 14, but you ask for a Roadmap. 2024 is the answer

It’s worth noting that CalyxOS has A14 support for the FP4, so Fairphone might be able to use some of that to make their own port faster.

@Spongebob

2024 is the answer

Where is this answer given?

iodéOS 5 is also based on android 14 already:

If you want to switch, I have written a cookbook (german):

Is there any new on when we can expect the android 14 update? Seems the update from july 15th about “mid-september” has not really mounted to anything so far.

Please check here:

Fairphone OS

It’s scheduled for Q4 2024 or Q1 2025 at the moment.

Hi all, At the end of the blog we mentioned that you should expect to hear from us by mid-September about Android 14 for Fairphone 4. We have not forgotten about you, but we are still working on it and will give you an update on the timing as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience.
