    I wonder what makes Android 15 easier than Android 14, and what Android are they using, Google or a FOSS one?

      Might not be easier, but if there are unforeseen problems at this point maybe it doesn't make sense to prioritize the launch of 14 when they'll immediately have to start catching up to 15.

      Fairphone maintains a stock version of Google Android. They've teamed up with Murena to offer Fairphones sold with /e/OS, but they're not responsible for software updates on those devices. My Fairphone 5 with /e/OS is still based on Android 13, for what it's worth. I guess that might change with the launch of /e/OS 3.0 in June.
