On: Fairphone suggests Qualcomm is the biggest barrier to long-term Android support

> Is there a smartphone that's usable as a daily driver, lets me have root and provides long term updates?

A touchscreen notebook with a GSM/LTE modem and a decent microphone running Linux is the closest you can get today as far as I know

Or, you know, almost any Android phone from a reputable brand like Oneplus for example.

cheeky comment considering the premise was long-term updates.

while there are android phones that are supported by custom rom's up to ~5 years (exceptions even longer), the majority isn't.

meanwhile a 5year old iphone se is seamlessly supported by the manufacturer and probably will be for a few years to come.
