Fairphone 4 is not getting Android 14 after all
Fairphone, the sustainable Dutch smartphone brand, was supposed to bring Android 14 to its nearly four-year-old Fairphone 4, but that is not happening. A company representative confirmed the news via a post on the Fairphone forum.

Fairphone planned to ship the Android 14 update to users by the start of 2025, but the software team ran into unexpected issues, including factors outside of their control.

The company is not ready to share a detailed launch timeline just yet but it will post more updates as it gets closer to launch.
