Keeping your phone longer with a refresh on the inside and out

Hi FP

This is a community forum, not the company. Fairphone staff might post something and read along … or not.
Anyway …

@Rasmus_Jensen

Would it be possible that you realesed a new chipset? A new phone body, where I could use all the parts from my current FP2, in order to be able to support the newest Android?

Currently discussed here, feel free to join in …

Can you upgrade the ram/processor?

I have only seen the option to upgrade the camera, but can you upgrade other stuff too?

BUT I’m also hesitating becasue the “big news” is that the software soon will be a 2 generation old android, because the Q801 is too old for Oreo and Nougat.

Nougat is Android 7 and it’s coming up, supported by Fairphone … according to the first post of this topic. You can follow the process in the bug tracker.

Oreo was just released for the Fairphone 2 in the form of LineageOS 15.1 based on AOSP Android 8.1, supported by the community. Here’s the LineageOS category of the forum.
