Android Security Updates

[Andreas6]

How up-to-date are the monthly Android Security Updates at Fairphone and with what time delay do they appear?
Google Pixel smartphones always get it time-invariant around the 5th and on Samsung usually one day later. Please only reply if you can tell me the average time delay.

Welcome to the Forum!
First of all, here you find all Releases for the Fairphone 3 and the Fairphone 4.

It is important to note that Fairphone does not guarantee monthly updates. As I saw though, the Fairphone 4 was on a nearly monthly schedule and the Fairphone 3 gets updates usually every 2 months. However, the Android patch level can be up to one month behind at a release. It is best to see for yourself. The threads are quite detailed.
