Glad to see focused development
I didn't know that the App could be a launcher, will have to check that out...
And I understand the treadmill of technology, but I suspect some of my tablets will now have to go to recycling if Android 6 is minimum spec... they still have good batteries 😥
It’s a shame most Android manufacturers offer little or no support for OS updates.
No good technical reason why your 10 old tablet can’t run a 5 year old OS.
Agreed. It's driver support that's really the problem.
Fairphone's support is basically limited to how long they can negotiate with component suppliers to maintain their parts. They had an issue a few years ago due to the camera chip supplier withdrawing support.
