A new leak suggests that Google could offer up to seven years of support on the upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
If this leak proves true, it means that Google will offer a support timeline similar to what we already see from Apple. Additionally, it’ll mean that the Pixel 8 offers longer support from its manufacturer than any current Samsung devices, which have only offered up to five years of support over the past few generations. That five-year timeline is similar to Apple’s too, which means Google would have the longest timeline for additional support after the phone’s release.
Either way, seven years of support is a huge boon for consumers, especially as smartphones have started to stagnate over the past few generations. Until we see any major improvements between phone generations, there really isn’t much reason to upgrade every year beyond just wanting the newest and shiniest device.
If Google offers seven years of support with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, it could push others to do the same.
