Qualcomm don't make the Pixel SoC, mate. Google makes the Tensor, that's how they're now able to offer 3 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates.

- kelnos 4y agoThank you for the correction; for some reason I thought the Tensor was a co-processor, paired with a Snapdragon chipset. In that case, there's really no excuse for Google not to offer longer support (well, aside from their own desire to spend less and push people to buy new phones), unless they've farmed out parts of the design and firmware to a third party who won't give them better terms.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoMost devices offer a 1 or 2 year warranty. 3 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates sounds pretty decent. You'll no longer be able to fix it and get replacement parts for it before you stop getting updates for it. Pixel is 1 year warranty in the USA.
