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.
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.
