I talked to ChatGPT due to another discussion where it was (as many times before here and in many different other topics) stated every other OEM is doing better than Fairphone
So while ChatGPT is surely not 100% reliable I’m surprised how well it gets the point.
I asked for roll-out times of HMD for EU and especially for the new Fusion and this is the final summary, which hits it quite well in my eyes:
Technically, Fairphone 5 and HMD Fusion both receive updates about 4–6 weeks after Google’s monthly security patches.
So from a pure timing perspective, they are comparable.It’s not that Fairphone 5 performs worse — it’s that expectations are higher, and perceived delays feel more disappointing to a more vocal, invested community.
If we purely rate update speed, they’re on par.
If we factor in trust, transparency, and expectation management, Fairphone gets more criticism.
