Fairphone has rolled out a new Android 12 update for the Fairphone 4. The new update is a generation higher than the Android 11 OS that the phone ships with. The OS upgrade will be available for Fairphone 4 owners in most regions.

The company also states that the current performance of the update in France and Switzerland falls short of the company’s expectations. The company is thus silent on when the update will be available in both France and Switzerland. For most other markets, the upgrade rolled in on February 1, but notifications may not be immediate. Fairphone sources say that delays are also possible for some mobile carriers, and it could be up to several weeks.

Fairp21hone has announced its first major OS update for the Fairphone 4. The Fairphone 4 was released in 2021 and users are now getting the Android 12 upgrade. Fairphone has also stated its plans for a timely Android 13 upgrade for the smartphone later. The new Android 12 update will offer greater stability, performance, and security for the smartphone.

Fairphone hopes to leverage the incremental architecture of Android 13 to deliver its upgrade within a shorter period. The company is expected to provide a timeline for the Android 13 rollout. The current OS update will come with the December 2022 Android security patches. More details about the upgrade can be viewed from Fair phone’s community forums and postings on its website.
