It looks like the Pixel 6’s official Android support may not be quite over. Despite the fact the phone was scheduled to get 3 years of Android updates, which expired last month, the phone has been included in the newly-released Android 16 developer preview — suggesting that it may be getting a surprise Android 16 update sometime next year.
It’s a curious development, considering Google didn’t adopt its generous 7 year software support pledge until the launch of the Google Pixel 8. Though as Android Police points out, the mid-range Pixel 6a could have something to do with this.
