Fairphone has released a new Android 12 update for Fairphone 4. The new update is one generation higher than the Android 11 operating system the phone comes with. The OS update will be available to Fairphone 4 owners in most regions.

The company also says that the current update performance in France and Switzerland did not meet the company’s expectations. Therefore, the company does not say when the update will be available in France and Switzerland. For many other markets, the update started on February 1, but notifications may not come right away. Fairphone sources say delays are also possible for some mobile operators and could take several weeks.

Fairp21hone has announced the first major OS update for the Fairphone 4. Fairphone 4 was released in 2021 and now users are getting the Android 12 update. Fairphone also announced plans to update the smartphone to Android 13 later in time. The new Android 12 update will provide more stability, performance and security for the smartphone.

Fairphone hopes to use the incremental architecture of Android 13 to update it sooner. The company is expected to provide a timeline for the rollout of Android 13. The current OS update will come with Android security patches from December 2022. Additional information about the update can be found on the Fair phone community forums and in posts on the website.
