An update to a Google support page has revealed that the Pixel 6 series, Pixel 7 series, and Pixel Fold will receive a longer support lifespan than originally promised. Google now guarantees five years of OS and security updates for these devices, starting from their initial release date.
Previously, Pixel phones were only guaranteed three years of OS updates. This meant that Pixel 6 series users were resigned to thinking Android 15 would be the last major operating system update their device would receive. However, this updated support page reveals that the Pixel 6 series will now receive updates to Android 16 and Android 17, while the Pixel 7 series and Pixel Fold will get updates to Android 17 and a future Android 18.
