Fairphone 3 should be an Android One device

knowing that FP failed utterly in the upgrade process for both the FP1 & 2

How did they fail for the FP2? It’s still receiving monthly security updates.

IMHO Android One would be a good option for FP to be relieved from the burden of constantly working on software, but if there are other options (like Project Treble or whatever) that’s fine with me.

Another option would be to ditch G%§$e Android and instead use Lineage OS. The community could care for the software and FP concentrate on the hardware.
But why concentrate on the hardware anyway? Should FP just fire their software developers or have them do work they are not qualified for?

Bottom line: I really hope software support for future FP’s will be way better then it has been so far.

Sure, FP1 was not ideal, but software support for the FP2 was perfect so far. For many grave vulnerabilities the FP2 was one of the first devices receiving a fix.
