   If a tiny vendor like @Fairphone can support their product with software updates for seven(!) years, don't tell me Samsung et al can't.

   I had the same experience with #Jolla. I have the original Jolla Phone, which was released in 2013. Support ceased in 2020 — also seven years!

   Big guys need to do better and need to be called out on their bullshit. Thank you to the underdogs for showing what's possible!

     If FOSS OS for desktops can run (the same version, without any modifications!) both on the latest models and on a hardware made ~17 years ago (my personal use case) , it means that for OS for phones such a lifecycle should be all the more possible. Only there is one condition - this is only possible for FOSS. Phone manufacturers should be forced by law to open source all drivers when they end official product support
