Google has promised three years of OS support and five years of security updates for Pixel 6, Pixel 7 devices, and the original Pixel Fold. Today, we learned that the company has expanded the OS portion by five years, and it includes all these devices:
The Pixel tablet is not included on that list, and a separate support page shows it will stick to a three-year OS and five-year security update plan.
Google was the trendsetter among Android manufacturers, promising extended support, and now every major manufacturer does. The new update means that Pixel 6 devices will get Android 16 and Android 17, while the Pixel 7 and Fold will reach Android 18 in 2027.
Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
It’s notable that any phones older than the Pixel 6 are no longer receiving Android or security updates; It includes all series from 1 to 5. Meanwhile, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 families are still slated for seven years of updates, unless Google decides to surprise us once again.
