Fairphone 2: security support is recorded through May 2023 in the cited evidence. Match the model and region below before applying this answer.

A support date is not a safety certificate or proof of the last patch. Check installed software separately; an unknown date does not establish that support has ended.
Longer-supported catalog records
These records have a later documented security-support horizon. Same-brand records are preferred when the catalog has enough matches. Price, form factor and availability are not yet compared, so these are not purchase recommendations.

What this status means for Fairphone 2
Fairphone 2 is past the recorded May 2023 security-support point. This does not mean the device immediately stops working, but newly discovered issues may no longer receive manufacturer fixes under the cited commitment.
What this Fairphone 2 record covers
Listed model identifiers: Fairphone 2. Listing an identifier does not establish shared lifecycle coverage.
Recorded model and region: Fairphone 2; Europe. Apply each support date, firmware release or repair fact only to the identifiers and regions named in its cited source.
The marketed identity is recorded separately from any verified regional hardware code; missing fields are not evidence that a similar model shares the same support. The displayed interval spans about 89 months from the recorded release event and retains month date precision.
No exact EPREL registration is approved for this record, so DevLifeCheck does not borrow an EU repairability score or battery result from a related model.
Support timeline
Sale and cloud-service evidence
- End of sale
- Not documented · Official source reviewed; date not publishedReviewed 2026-09-04 against Fairphone's cited lifecycle record. It does not publish a separate model-specific end-of-sale date for this record; the date remains undocumented and is not inferred from software-support end.
- Cloud-service end
- Not documented · No reviewed date
“Not documented” means DevLifeCheck has no approved value for this field. A lifecycle-policy review never authorizes copying or inferring a firmware version or another lifecycle date.
Identity and regional scope
- Marketed name
- Fairphone 2
- Primary model identifier
- Fairphone 2Reviewed 2026-09-04 against Fairphone's cited lifecycle record. It identifies the marketed product or family but does not publish an exact hardware model code for this record's region; the record remains family-scoped and no variant equivalence is inferred.
- Evidence scope
- Europe
This record is not a universal “global variant.” Match the model number, sales market and carrier before applying a date to your phone. A materially different variant must receive its own reviewed lifecycle evidence.

Latest firmware or patch
Android 10 · final May 2023 security patch · official firmware source checked Sep 2026.
Evidence scope: Europe. A public device-codename build does not prove that every retail model, carrier or region received it on the same date.
Recall and safety screening
DevLifeCheck monitors CPSC, Safety Gate, UK OPSS, Health Canada. A monitored feed is not itself a “no recall” finding; dated device-specific results are listed separately below.
No exact marketed-name or model-code match found in the CPSC recall dataset as of 2026-09-04. This US-only name screening is not proof that no recall exists; check the exact model, carrier and local regulator.
Recalls & Product Safety Warnings · United States · checked Sep 2026 ↗Repairability and battery
No model-specific repairability score or official battery-service cutoff has been reviewed for this record yet. Check the manufacturer's regional repair channel before buying parts or assuming service availability.
Each card shows only the facts published by its cited source. Do not compare iFixit scores, manufacturer playback estimates and EU-label measurements as if they used the same test.
Update cadence
Cadence not documented — not inferred from end date.
Known limitations and conflicts
Policy dates can conflict with carrier schedules, regional product-security statements and the exact hardware variant. No additional conflict has been approved for this record; that means “not documented,” not “none exist.”
Repair or replace factors
Avoid sensitive use and plan a replacement unless the manufacturer documents an extension.
- Support horizon: security support is recorded through May 2023.
- Evidence certainty: this is a official record with month precision.
- Software visibility: Android 10 · final May 2023 security patch is the latest version documented in this record; regional delivery still needs checking.
- Repair data: no comparable model-specific repairability record is approved yet, so repair cost and parts availability must be checked separately.
Fairphone 2: common questions
How long will Fairphone 2 get security updates?
Fairphone 2 has passed its recorded security-support date (May 2023). This date comes directly from the manufacturer.
Is it safe to keep using Fairphone 2 after May 2023?
Fairphone 2 can keep working after May 2023. A policy-derived date does not prove updates have stopped. If the manufacturer has ended support for your exact model, new security flaws may stay unfixed; keep apps updated and plan a supported replacement for sensitive use.
Does this date apply to every Fairphone 2 model and region?
This record covers the marketed model in the Europe scope. Carrier and regional variants can receive updates at different times, so match your exact model number before relying on it.
