> Pixel 6 and later phones will get updates for at least 5 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US. That's not really the same thing as "updates for at least 5 years". The date the device first went on sale in the US isn't particularly relevant. They'll still sell it to you long after that, and then end support not long after it's out of warranty. That's what happened to mine. The lessons I'm learning here (if I'm running a first party OS) are: - Check very carefully how long different vendors actually support their devices. Google is pretty rubbish on this front, it turns out. - Always buy the latest model when buying a new phone, even if it doesn't have anything I need, or I'll just have to "upgrade" twice as frequently instead.
