Updates for 2 years, security patches for 3: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/08/05/google-announces-new-update-policy-for-nexus-devices-including-monthly-security-patches-for-3-years-and-major-otas-for-2-years-from-release/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/08/05/google-announces-new...
That is still way to short, especially if you don't buy it on release day. If you buy a nexus device 12 months after release you've already lost 1/3 of it's effective lifetime.
