Google has started the countdown for the Pixel 8 series, which it is preparing to introduce at the Made by Google event to be held on October 4. Numerous reports have emerged about smartphones to date, so there are not many questions in mind about what kind of experience they will offer. A new report that emerged today shows that smartphones will be presented to users with a detail unprecedented in the industry.
7 years update support for Google Pixel 8 series
Recently, phone manufacturers such as Samsung have revised their policies regarding software support and decided to extend the support given especially to the newly released mid-range and flagship models. According to the latest reports, Google is also among these companies.
According to information from sources close to the company, Google is preparing to offer operating system and security updates to the Pixel 8 series for seven years. If the rumors are true, the devices will be supported up to Android 21.
Until now, the software support that Google has offered to its phones has been limited to a maximum of three years. In fact, Pixel 4a, which was recently introduced to users in August 2020, lost software support after three years. However, it seems that this will change soon and the company’s smartphones will run the latest software versions for a long time.
To make a small comparison, Apple’s iPhone XR, introduced in 2018, has been receiving continuous software support for five years and has even started to experience the recently released iOS 17 version. Similarly, with its new policy, Samsung will offer uninterrupted update support for some of its new smartphones for five years.
