Other than the FairPhone, which you already mentioned, nothing really matches all criteria.
I’d give a nod to the Pixel line, though. Google already offers 5 years of software updates, and the next line is rumoured to get 7. Plus Google allows Custom ROM support, which makes it a fan favourite in the privacy community. Granted it’s not as repairable as the FairPhone, and it’s not as eco-friendly, but it’s decent enough.
Also, Google has a habit of pulling out rugs for the slightest reasons with no regard to who's standing on it... 7 years is a really long commitment when you look at the Google Graveyard.
Yeah, but community support will keep going for a while even after Google drops it.
This is actually something i wanna get more informed on, for example i see that e/os is still supporting the first google pixel (from 2016), it's already 7 years of updates. However i think that applies just to the OS update, not the security patches, am i right?
I don't think you get the frequent security updates from Google, but you do get them rolled into the slightly-less-frequent regular updates from the e team.
