So naturally, companies initiated limited support (planned obsolescence) for these hot-selling devices.
Now that annual upgrades are incremental and people keep their phones longer, will policies change?
The new policy applies to the original Pixel Fold as well.
However, the Tablet will receive five years of security patches.
The new policy means it will receive updates until 2027, taking the model up to Android 17.
Google’s new software support policy for the older Pixel devices is a step in the right direction.
Google promises seven years of Android updates for those devices, which is among the best in the industry.
Unlike Samsung, Google’s seven-year update promise includes its mid-range smartphones, such as the Pixel 8a.
