Whether it's a nice phone or not, I'm not tempted. I left Android due to an inability to get o/s updates. Android depends on the cell carrier (Bell Canada, in my case) for o/s updates, a model that doesn't work well, in my opinion. With Apple the o/s is always up to date.
- guelo 10y agoNot true for this phone.
- MBCook 10y agoDo you have a source for that? It doesn't have a track record (for obvious reasons). Has Google promised the carriers don't get to interfere this time?
- guelo 10y ago"Pixel ships with the newest Android operating system, Android 7.1 Nougat. Phones will get software and security updates as soon as they’re available, directly from Google. " https://blog.google/products/pixel/introducing-pixel-our-new-phone-made-google/ https://blog.google/products/pixel/introducing-pixel-our-new... It's the same as Nexus phones, carriers did not interfere with them.
- gergles 10y agoBut they still did. The "Verizon" Galaxy Nexus was basically a completely different phone from the other Galaxy Nexus versions and didn't get the same support or updates.
- guelo 10y agoYea that Verizon Nexus was the least Nexus-y of them all. One of the reasons I swore off Verizon for good. But that was 4 years ago and hasn't been an issue with other Nexii since.
- MBCook 10y agoAh, that's good.
- ncallaway 10y agoI've never had that issue with a Nexus line phone. I got OS updates the day they dropped from Google.
- qntty 10y agoGoogle phones are updated by Google, the same way Apple phones are updated by Apple.
- 51Cards 10y agoDefinitely not true for Nexus / Pixel devices. I'm in Canada, have had the Nexus line from the Nexus One, and every time an update releases I have it immediately.
