The fairphone 5 is on android 14 and android 15 has only started to be deployed 2 months ago.

Ok, that endoflife.date site apparently isn't quite up-to-date then. But even still, Android 14 was released in October 2023 and as far as I can tell, Fairphone released their Android 14 update only in July 2024. I'm not saying Fairphone's update policy is terrible or anything. It certainly is better than that of many other vendors, but if you want updates as quickly as possible, you are probably better of with a Pixel phone. Of course repairability is an entirely different matter.
