Google Extends Update Commitment to Older Pixel Phones!
Among the best features of the original Pixel 8 announcement was the promise of seven years of software support, surpassing almost every other brand at the time. It’s a promise that Google has now continued that promise for Pixel 9 lineup, alongside their performance improvements and AI shenanigans.
For anyone with an older Pixel model though, the promise could feel a little hollow, especially if upgrading is not due any time soon. Well, not anymore.
Google has made a quick change to their official support page, listing an additional two years of OS and security software updates for the following Pixel smartphones:
• Pixel Fold
• Pixel 7 Pro
• Pixel 7
• Pixel 7a
• Pixel 6 Pro
• Pixel 6
• Pixel 6a
Translating these to OS updates, that means the Pixel 6 series will be eligible for Android 16 and Android 17. On the other hand, the Pixel 7 series and the Pixel Fold will get OS upgrades all the way to Android 18.
Additionally, Google also mentioned that this could include some new features from their latest Pixel Drops. Sure, we may not get the enhanced Gemini AI suite that defined the standard Pixel 9 lineup but, other quality of life improvements should definitely be on the way!
