FP2 still gets Android security patches - the main problem by now is that the drivers for the hardware are not properly updated to Android 7 (due to the manufacturer not providing any updates)


And that's better than even Google's own devices. Old Nexus models don't get patches any more.


In one way, but the comparably aged Nexus 5X at least got updated to Android 8.1 while the Fairphone 2 is still on 7.1


The Fairphone 2 can run Android 9 via LineageOS. The official versions (the one with and the one without OpenGapps) still get security updates. Can you say the same about Nexus 5X with Android 8.1?
