Done, now your phone will be supported damn near forever.

I get that Google themselves should be supporting their phones for longer. I completely agree. I just can at least say that they've given you the tools to still use the phone after the updates stop.
That's a damn sight better than other manufacturers... e.g. Nokia 6, the bootloader is locked, and I had to pay some kid in some random country to unlock it for me with his reverse engineered tool.
So no, I give Google a lot of shit about their behaviour, but phone updates? Could be longer but I won't hold them to it.

- julianlam 5y agoThanks, I just quickly googled on my phone. Appreciate the correction as I can no longer edit the comment. By the way, I really like your Google Camera ports! Keep up the good work.
