Google, which made its name more popular by stepping into the smart phone world, became one of the important phone manufacturers during this adventure and created its own audience. The brand, which has made a name for itself with its Pixel series phones, is shelving its old products to pave the way for its new phones.
The tenure of the Pixel 3 series is limited to 3 years
Google launched Pixel 3 and 3 XL smartphones in 2018. The company made an interesting decision for phones that have made a name for themselves in the mid-range phone world. Although it is still early according to many users, Google will install the last software of the Pixel 3 series with the February update.
After three years of service, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are getting their latest update, which arrives a little later than expected. Considering many smartphone brands, the Pixel 3 series said goodbye quite early. Many users think that the end of the updates is not due to the technical inadequacy of the phone.
Pixel 3 series received its previous update in November of 2021. It aims to fix accumulated security patches and bug fixes with the February 2022 update. It is not yet known exactly what lies behind Google’s limiting its models to 3 years. The company’s desire to direct all attention to its flagship phones may have been effective in this decision.
Pixel 3 series was launched in 2018 with the middle class label. With the hardware of that time, it was seen as close to the flagship phones of many smartphone companies. Powered by a Snapdragon 845 with 4GB of RAM, the smartphone had an FHD+ display. However, the small size of the battery and the absence of a headphone jack were negative for the smartphone.
