Hopefully they launch with proper security features

Were they lacking in previous models?

Yes, my Fairphone 4 was supposed to get monthly security updates until summer 2024 but in my experience they where always late, sometimes by more than a month. They now also missed the Q1 2025 deadline for the promised upgrade to Android 14.

Just to add to what the others said:

Security features also means hardware such as google's titan chip

Not that I'm aware of

And considering they get Security updates for years, I'm not sure what they're referring to

Its about getting them on time, getting them consistently, and not using public testing keys for verified boot
