Google promised three years of OS support and five years of security updates for Pixel 6, Pixel 7 devices and the original Pixel Fold. Today, we learned that the company expanded the OS part to five years, and this includes all these devices
The Pixel Tablet is not included in that list, and a separate support page reveals it will stick to the three-year OS and five-year security update plan.
Google was the trendsetter among Android makers, promising extended support, and now every major manufacturer does so. The new update means Pixel 6 devices will get Android 16 and Android 17, while Pixel 7 and Fold will reach Android 18 in 2027.
Pixel 7 & Pixel 7 Pro
It is worth mentioning that any older phone than the Pixel 6 is no longer receiving Android or security updates; this includes all series from 1 to 5. Meanwhile, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 families are still up for seven years of updates unless Google decides to surprise us once again.
