Google has a history of extending repairs for Pixel phones. I don't know it is a good thing or bad.

How could it be a bad thing?

Adding to what I said...

Back in 2012, I had the very first Google Nexus Tablet called the Nexus 7. It became extremely slow after a few months that it was unusable. Turned out it was a widespread issue. It was a design flaw that could not be fixed via software update:

Two decades later, Google still release defective hardware without proper testing during the design phase.

Good thing - Google is willing to support devices with defects/design flaws

Bad thing - Google keeps releasing devices with defects/design flaws

If my pixel 8 gets any of that shit, I'm getting a different phone. This thing is a god damn joke.
