Pixel 5 is receiving official support past the end of the official update guarantee which is what we predicted for the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5. It would make a lot of sense for them to be supported until the Pixel 5a end-of-life but it's unclear if that's what will happen.

Nexus and Pixel devices have often received longer support than the minimum guarantee. Pixel C was released December 2015 with a 3 minimum guarantee and got updates until June 2019. Many people misinterpret the minimum guarantee as the end-of-life date, which is not how it works.

Pixel 8 has moved to a 7 year minimum guarantee for major OS updates and security updates, and we don't expect them to go past that. However, we do expect that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 will keep getting official major OS updates for their whole 5 year security update guarantee.
