Xiaomi has promised four generations of Android updates and five years of security updates with MIUI on the Redmi K60 Extreme Edition.

    Fairphone is a leader in long time support, but it is a very very small and niche brand.

    That does not exempt them from leading the industry, though.

    And, to be fair, they offered this for single model only so far.

    “The Redmi K60 Extreme Edition was launched in China last week. This update promise currently applies to this phone in China.”

    The 2015 Fairphone 2 got a final bugfix update last March, so even without a formal announcement, they managed to achieve that.

    Track record is mixed: I saw people complain that Fairphone is very late with their updates.

    Oh, they’re definitively not perfect but update cycles is also not the sole things Faiphone is about.

        It does.

        It literally doesn’t.

            for you fairphone leads the industry

            In long-term support of Android: Absolutely.

            and xiaomi, tries to match it.

            No, not even close.

            It looks like we live in different worlds.

            Indeed. I live in reality and you live in a fantasy world where five full Android upgrades and eight years of bugfixes are not leading the industry.
