lol yeah we’ll see. They only offer 3 for the 7 pro and Fold.
Realistically the best scenario will be 5 OS update and 7 security maintainance. (5 + 2)
5 years of software update I think it’s really fine, the phone battery will be down at that time and you’ll need to replace it, maybe trading it for another phone will be much better.
Someone should create himself a reminder in 7 years to check if Google good this promise and still provides major OS updates for this Pixel.
Apple delivered 5 major iOS updates to the iPhone X + the whole iOS 16 lifecycle with probably some additional security updates in the next 1-2 years. Let’s see how many updates the new iPhone 15 (Pro) models will get. I expect not less.
iPhone X user here, very happy. I’m considering replacing it this year, but I can continue using it with no problem. Can’t play games smoothly tho. It would melt . But phones should last longer and have part replacements , the industry needs to change.
One big reason for my replacement last year was th camera. The X camera was nice back then… but now? No. Too much capabilities missing.
And of course 5G is quite ok. I like the dynamic island, 120 Hz screen, and some other features.
My old X ist still lying on the desk and works. But I retired it after 5 solid years of work.
Welp, we’ll see if it is actually promised and then if they actually follow through.
Knowing Google, they will most likely kill the Pixel program in that time frame.
I’m happy with 5, have not kept a phone for that long and I don’t really sell them at the end.
