This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Fairphone 2. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.
The Fairphone 2 in detail
How many years of updates does the Fairphone 2 get?
Released in December 2015, the Fairphone 2 received security patches until March 2023: 7 years and 3 months in total.
Among the 8 Fairphone phones in our database, 5 were supported for less time and 2 for longer. The median is 7 years.
Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.
The last patch came out 3 years and 7 months ago.
Can I keep using the Fairphone 2?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after March 2023 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
