Does anybody know for how many years this device gets system / security updates?
He mentioned three years of support in the video, but not sure if that’s to fully end of support or just system updates.
3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches according to the product page
4 years of security on a mid-range phone is okay, Bare minimum but it wouldn’t put me off buying one.
That’s a nah from me. Beat Google / Apple at support or I’m not considering the product.
It costs less than any of Apple or Google’s offerings and they do not make money through software and services unlike Apple or Google. I think it’s unreasonable to expect 7 years or more of OS updates on a phone that costs $300-400. They should do better on their flagship though, it costs double but still has the same support.
It’s still hardware in the trash in 4 years, regardless of cost to the end user. I intend to keep my Pixel 6 until it dies or runs out of security updates in 3 years, whichever comes first.
