This table includes the recently extended support periods for Pixel 6, 7 and Fold.

In December 2024, Google updated the information page for software updates to extend the support period for all Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 phones, as well as the Pixel Fold, to five years of both software and security updates.

It no longer make sense to depend on the good while of the phone manufacturers to keep maintaining the OS for our smartphones. We should move towards a system more similar to PCs where hardware and OS are broadly intercompatible and can be exchanged and upgrade seamlessly.

If I have the ability to replace the battery, I don't see why my 2022 smartphone would become obsolete in 2032, other than arbitrary SW end of life. Just like my 12yo laptop works perfectly fine despite the battery being weak, which I already replaced in the past and still could today !

Legislation could fix that. Unfortunately, politicians can be and are bought, so that's unlikely.

Fixing secrets and unreusable tech that is, not buying politicians.
