7 years yes but updates are few and far between. That matters a lot too. With Fairphone you don't get monthly security updates and timely major upgrades.
It's admirable that they go for longevity but irregular security updates doesn't really cut the biscuit for the more security-conscious customer. It's really just a matter of when they happen to get around to it.
Samsung is better at this IMO, while they don't do it quite as long they do maintain a decent cadence that they specify for each model.
Still it hurts me they supported my S8 for such a short time because it was my best phone ever. Since then they've really improved their game on the software side but not the hardware.
