I really wish Google would expand their service lifetime on their own devices, because I feel 2 years is really too short.
- on_and_off 9y agoIt is 3 years now with the new pixel. Still too little in my opinion.
- The_DaveG 9y agoTwo years is completely too short, even three years if you purchase mid-cycle is not enough. I own Nexus 5X's on Project Fi, one bootlooped and was replaced, the other still going strong after ~20months. I also have a Pixel XL acquired like 7 months ago, both of those should outlive the updates and giving Google the money directly, they should take care of their customers. Far from an Apple fan boy, the 2016 MBP and 2017 iPad do not worry me about getting forgotten in the ever ongoing updates.
- Spivak 9y agoTwo years is too short but once you get on the extended warranty loop you can basically get another 2/4 years of new phones on the cheap.
- The_DaveG 9y agoFor the 5X's, the were a great deal, and it would cost more than the phone to get into the extended warranties. Not worth it for our purposes. As long as they keep working, we'll keep using them.
