Given that folding phones have a history of being fragile and Google has a history of dropping support for the devices they sell quickly, do they really expect a $1800 device to sell at a time when flagships that sell for half that much are not moving like they did a couple of years ago?

> Google has a history of dropping support for the devices they sell quickly They do? Aren't Pixels some of the longest-supported phones, security update wise? Their IoT and software services might be another story.

  Typing this on a Pixel 2a running Android 12. It is out of support now, but that's not too shabby for a $300 phone from 2017.

    You shouldn't have to put yourself at risk like that.

  > Aren't Pixels some of the longest-supported phones, security update wise? Apple's $399 original iPhone SE from 2016 got six years of OS updates and received another security update last month. Google's original Pixel Phone, also from 2016, stopped getting support at the end of 2019.
