Why is fairphone not in the list? From what I understand, they offer very long updates

(it’s just not a very good phone for the price, but they try to push updates as long as possible, from what I heard)

edit: yep still getting updates 7 years later

also the phones get 4 years of regular warranty.

They are available just in Europe though

I don't think this is a comprehensive list. I don't know what the exact requirements are but based on the domain it seems related to Google Enterprise policies.
