      Because they can say they will, possibly sell slightly more than they predicted. And then in 2 years say that they cannot support it anymore anyway.

      Google makes money from providing service and advertising. It has more to gain from supported devices than without.

    Are they really starting to put 1tb of storage in phones? I still see phones with 64gb on the market. 😔

    I have a Pixel 6 and after 1 year the battery is terrible. I intend to move to Pixel 8 because of longer updates and Desktop Mode. Unfortunately they don't have removable batteries yet.

      Don't, you don't need a new phone as phones have reached peak performance. I would suggest you to try installing graphene OS or any other custom roms from XDA. If you dont know how then ask someone who's tech savvy and they will make your old phone, a brand new phone.

    7 years of security updates alongside feature drops, which hopefully translate into 7 years of OS upgrades, would be great. The hardware may not be as repairable as the fairphone, but I guess something is better than nothing.
