The Pixel 8 series launches with Android 14 and will get 7 years of software support, including annual OS updates, monthly security updates, and quarterly Pixel Feature Drops. This means they'll be supported till 2030.

I can't emphasize enough how big of a deal this is.

@milan Fairphone 2 already had ~7 Years support and was a Phone from 2016, so nothing new just now "Mainstream" 😅

Aaaand no more excuse like "it is not possible" so 5 Years can be a EU wide mandatory in the near future!

@Michael1 define "just" ;) .. afaik the mainstream pretty much only had iphones with long software support so far and more technical people get 3rdparty roms unless the vendor is blocking and others get fair- and maybe shiftphones @MishaalRahman
