Google Pixel has made a move to surpass Samsung, its strongest rival in the Android world. Google Pixel 8 will receive more long-lasting operating system updates from Samsung. Getting ready to be the leader of the Android world, Google adds the most popular feature of iPhones to its new series.
Google Pixel 8 challenges Samsung with longer-lasting OS update!
Of course, Android’s update story pales in comparison to the iPhone. Google has signed a job that will start a new era in the Android world. He rolled up his sleeves to solve this problem with the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. Google plans to increase the number of operating system updates that the Pixel 8 series and its future devices will receive.
In the Android world, there was a three-year operating system update that was also valid on Qualcomm-supported Pixel phones between 2017-2021. Samsung has extended this period to four years with the S21, S22 and Flip 3. The Fold 3 and other affordable models continue to update their operating system for four years.
The Pixel 6 rolled out two additional years of updates for security patches in addition to three years of major Android OS version updates. But still not enough to compete with the iPhone. Google plans to change that noticeably on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro.
Other Android-powered devices, such as the Nvidia Shield, can be largely updated for up to eight years. Because Nvidia controls the aging Tegra X1 and X1+ chips. Google aims to do this using Tensor.
After Android 13, 14 and 15, Google will have 24-month security patches on Pixel 6. It has announced 5 years of Pixel updates on existing Tensor supported devices. Google’s goal is to ensure you can use your phone even though there have been no major OS updates in the last two years.
The eye of Google, which wants to leave Samsung behind and become the legend of the Android world, is on the throne of the iPhone. But replacing the iPhone is not that easy. There is an Apple fact with the iPhone XS, which was released with iOS 12 in September 2018 and will receive iOS 17 this fall. The iPhone 6S and 7 in 2015 are still getting security releases on iOS 15. It currently has eight years of updates.
