Fairphone 4 owners have waited a long time for their next big software update, and in return for that patience, they’re getting more than they expected. The company has confirmed that it’s skipping Android 14 entirely and going straight to Android 15, with the rollout planned for early November.
The announcement comes from a Fairphone employee on the company’s Community Forum, who said development has “sped up” enough to make the jump possible. The update will roll out in batches, so don’t worry if it doesn’t appear on your phone right away.
