Google has some great news for people who own Pixel phones! The company has decided to give some of its older phones two more years of Android updates. This means that people who own these phones will get to enjoy new features and security updates for a longer time.
The Pixel 6, which was launched in 2021, will get its last update in 2026. This is a big relief for people who own this phone, as they were only promised three years of updates when they bought it. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will also get updates until 2027.
Google made this announcement alongside its December software update. The company has listed which of its older phones will get a total of five years of software updates from their launch date. This is a big deal, as it means that people who own these phones won’t have to buy new ones as soon as they thought.
This move by Google is a welcome surprise, especially since some of its rivals, like Samsung, have been offering longer support assurances for their phones. It’s great to see Google extending the shelf life of its older models, making them more viable for people who want to keep using their existing phones or buy one at a lower price.
