It's time for me to renew my Pixel 4 XL for a Pixel 8 pro. 7 years for software update, it's just unbelievable! 🥳

I think Google is a great company. They make very high quality products that I use daily.

IMHO one of the hardest negative aspects of the company to argue against is their pattern of killing products and features with little to no notice regardless of previous statements. To their credit, my experience with the Stadia shutdown felt fair and reasonable, so it's not necessarily the end of the world when they do.

Probably something to keep in mind when reading about multi year support statements.
