Google is adding two more years of updates for Pixel 6, 7 and Fold. This includes features, not just security patches.
The Pixel 6a is the oldest and will receive security patches until Oct 2026.
Take notes, Samsung lmao

@crafti Starting with the Pixel 6 series Google unified the kernel code for all Tensor devices, that's why they're seemingly so much easier to keep supported and have 7 years support as base.

Android updating is a nightmare, blobs everywhere neocat_up
