The catch? This is a China release. You get 1 years of standard and 3 years of extended warranty. The global variant would be unlikely to offer this at all.
So I can just return the phone after 4 years, and get a new one, to have updates for more than 2 years? Nice! Or they could open up the Bootloader again, like my Moto Edge 20 has.
Is there a Chinese customer protection law influencing this or is this a marketing stunt? Good for them if it’s the former.
Should be the latter. Otherwise, we would also be hearing about this from other brands like xiaomi, realme, oneplus.
Still though, now that somebody has done it, there’s a good chance that somebody else will now do it as well.
Fairphone 5 has 5 year warranty. Sure that’s not 4, but the title makes it seem that 4 is longest out there.
I think they’re only including mainstream models.
The Fairphone 4 also has a possible 5 years of warranty (2 years standard + 3 years complimentary extended).
I guess an oversight on their part. I thought it was 2 years on fairphone. But, good to know.
Introducing brand new world’s first phone with 1 year 2 weeks and 4 hours warranty. And it’s got electrolytes!
