Going into the launch of the Pixel 6, there was a lot of talk about how many years of updates the phones would get. Some rumors said that Tensor would allow Google to offer five years of Android OS updates. It turns out the phones will get three.<\/p>\n

During the Pixel 6 event, Google mentioned that the company would offer five years of security updates, which led some users to believe that their phone would get five Android OS updates. However, Google clarified that it\u2019d offer at least three years of Android updates and five years of security patches.<\/p>\n

In a statement to The Verge<\/a>, Google said, \u201cUsers will still get at least three years of OS updates, after which we\u2019re committing to ensure that Pixels will stay up-to-date and secure. The frequency and categories of updates will depend on the capabilities and needs of the hardware.\u201d<\/p>\n

A look at Google\u2019s Pixel support page<\/a> confirms that, as well. The page says that Google will offer Android OS updates until at least\u00a0October 2024 and security updates until\u00a0October 2026.<\/p>\n

We were hoping that Google using its own chip would allow the company to offer a more App<\/a>le-like upgrade system for its users, After all, Apple just upgraded\u00a02015\u2019s iPhone 6S to iOS 15. Still, three years of guaranteed Android updates isn\u2019t bad; it just would have been nice to see Google push things forward more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
