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 3

Fairphone 3 is past the recorded Jun 2026 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 3 record covers

Listed model identifiers: Fairphone 3. Listing an identifier does not establish shared lifecycle coverage.

Recorded model and region: Fairphone 3; 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 82 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.

“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.

Covered by this record

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

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 match in this dated screen

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.

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.”

Canonical review completed 2026-09-04: retain this marketed product as a separate page from Fairphone 3+. Shared family-policy evidence does not prove hardware aliasing; no redirect or merge is applied, and variant-specific facts remain isolated until exact model evidence exists.

Repair or replace factors

Recommended next action

Avoid sensitive use and plan a replacement unless the manufacturer documents an extension.

  • Support horizon: security support is recorded through Jun 2026.
  • Evidence certainty: this is a official record with month precision.
  • Software visibility: Android 13 · final June 2026 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 3: common questions

How long will Fairphone 3 get security updates?

Fairphone 3 has passed its recorded security-support date (Jun 2026). This date comes directly from the manufacturer.

Is it safe to keep using Fairphone 3 after Jun 2026?

Fairphone 3 can keep working after Jun 2026. 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 3 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.
