A few weeks back we heard some speculation that Google could be extending Android support for the Pixel 6, all because the phone was compatible with the first Android 16 developer preview. Now Google’s support pages have confirmed this is true, but it won’t just affect Pixel 6.
According to Google, the Pixel 6, Pixel 7 and original Pixel Fold will be getting an additional two years of Android software updates — bringing the total up from three years to five. All three phones were already scheduled to get five years of security updates, and now Google is sweetening the pot for anyone who wants to keep their phones for a little longer.
