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.

TIL that Samsung's Remote Test Lab also offers their Wear OS watches for testing!

Samsung currently only offers 8 Galaxy Watch 6 series devices in the RTL, though, so you may have to wait for one to become available.

For those of you who don't know, Remote Test Lab lets you remotely test your apps on REAL Samsung hardware, including their latest Galaxy Tab S9 series, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Z Fold 5.

This is a pretty useful service as buying all of these devices costs quite a bit of money! Galaxy Watch 6 + Tab S9 + Z Flip 5 + Z Fold 5 = ~$3900.

It would be nice if Samsung updated some of their S23 series devices in RTL with the One UI 6 beta, so developers without an S23 can remotely test their app on Samsung's Android 14 release as soon as possible.
