P7 day 1 owner here. I thought android 15 was going to be the final update for the P7. I've been tempted to move over to the Galaxy side for a while but with features like Now Playing, Screen Calling and the fact that I never get spam calls are why google still holds on to me. I absolutely hate the thumb reader on the P7 and been tempted to get the P9 pro XL because of it. Now that I know P7 will get android 16 its nice to be able to wait for P10. These android updates are nice too and have kept my P7 feeling fresh and well... Up-To-Date.
You are probably still not in any scammers database, but it will change and those scam calls will come. Its a matter of time. I had them on Pixel, 6,7,8. Its about the phone number mostly, not the phone
Same buddy I hate the scanner too it's finicky. But even now when Pixel9 is here I'm still holding on for 10 or even 11 if and when their chips get better.
@@StjepanKraljI haven't had any spam calls since I got my Pixel 6. They were common with my Huawei Mate 20 Pro 🤷🏽♂️my number hasn't changed I'm still using the same SIM since 2018
I think they need to equal both OS updates and security updates to 5 years for Pixel 6 and 7 series. You know I've written that to Google. Was it effective? I have no idea but I hope they've read my review
I'm glad pixel is giving us this type of support, yet i still believe the pixel 6 & 7 series should receive the full 7 years as well.I would never, ever purchase one of their watches with only 3 years of support.That's insane what are they thinking!?
GrapheneOS does not "extend" support for old Pixel phones, official support from the GOS team ends when system updates from Google end. Sometimes they extend this to some security patches for a year or two, but this will probably be revised with the Pixel 8/9 having 7-year support.
I'll say it again, Pixel 6/7 series could handle 7 years of updates IMO & if Google cared about the environment as much as they claim they do, they'd do it
As a pixel 7 pro user pixel phone did not survive too long update because pixel processor is too weak and it have lots of heating issue and there is too much bug in Android 14 and 15
What about 6a? Initially it was poised to receive till Android 15. But, now with the new timeline of Android 16 launching in Q2 2025, will it get Android 16 as well? I think it should as 'OS Updates' are guaranteed till Jul 2025
I was actually thinking about this today, I even asked Gemini about it 😂. If there is someone using a Custom ROM here, how is the battery life 🔋 compared to stock android on pixels?
I'ma try using the P9XL for at least 5 years to see if Google really stands behind their device. With the 2 years left I should receive a penny for the resell.
For an average person like me, who uses phone texting, calling, banking, UA-cam and some travel apps including maps. What will happen if the phone doesn’t have the latest software?
I'm pretty sure phones with graphene or even lineage are more secure than google phone. specially since you can block your bootloader in those devices after successfully making the switch. After all those rom are privacy focused.
Absolutely not and Google knows it won't. After 7 years Pixel 9 series won't even have a lot of resell value. If Google stops making phones before 7 years Pixel 9 might be a collector's item.
I had a pixel 5a. The damn thing bricked itself for no reason while I was just sitting there using it. Massive issue with that phone. Anyways I've been using my Pixel 2 XL as a backup phone (I sent my 5a to google for replacement after demanding one) and its been great. Its running Android 14 on LineageOS. I've uninstalled any heavier apps and replaced them with lightweight replacements where I can. I also downloaded... Let's just say a 'custom' UA-cam client. Way better performing than the regular UA-cam app and I disabled shorts so I don't doomscroll anymore. Also disabled animations with the "reduce motion" thing in system settings and the difference is insane. Makes the phone feel so much snappier. The amount of small little animations that add up to slow everything down is obnoxious. It also hides any 'lag'. What's odd is all the 'lag' I was experiencing was just little animation stutters. Without animations the entire phone is very quick
@@jevonsims900 i doubt, since android updates nowadays are just having some incremental updates. In fact, the features we get alongside A15 are not entirely exclusive to A15 but are delivered through Google Play Services. This makes AndroidOS updates more and more feature less making it more compatible to previous phones that if compared in the past, wouldn't have the capability to take a major OS update
It’s not. It’s only 3 years of OS updates, starting from whatever Android version, it came out the box with. I believe the 6/a came out with Android 12
Basically pixel updates is going into 'overdrive' mode, hence changing the update scheme... Now there wont be new android version every year, but new android twice or even 4x a year. And they will market the hell out of this! In real life until 2031 pixel 8 &9 can get up to android v40 😂So just google can be on highest mobile os version number and claim it's dominance. Just like they did with google chrome it was nice 'stable' v3..v5 etc.. then they quickly jumped to v50 just to be on par with 'firefox' build numbers.. now they are on imaginary v130 build number 🤣 complete bull...
I'm returning mine. I just can't do it. No hate but I've always been an iPhone person and the quality difference is night and day. Sorry Google. Will go for the 16 pro in white.

Better Title: Your pixel will be supported until…?
Linguists: is the title phrasing standard English? When…until?
Everyone else native speaker: does it sound natural to you?
How things sound is subjective. It’s better to go by the rules.

The title gave me a headache.
Great timing with this video as I just updated my uncle and Sons pixel 3A phones to pixel 6A and pixel 7
I want my pixel 6 to be supported till Android 17 and 7 pro to 18

Thank you for this. It's useful. I've just ordered the Pixel 9 Pro XL so that'll be interesting to see how long I keep it!
Did you say Windows instead of Android at 0:06 seconds? . It's OK, I found it funny. Thanks for your videos.
He’s saying “support window” as in a frame of support. He wasn’t saying Windows the OS.

Nothing is guaranteed with Google. Google only promised three year support for Pixel 6a. You want longer updates? Get an iPhone SE 2023.

Both titles are 11 syllables but this is much easier to understand.
This helped a lot..thanks !
I had a pixel 5 which suddenly shut down from nowhere and am using now pixel 6 pro.
How can I fix my pixel 5. I really like it's size.
Get the pixel 8 ( base model ) won't be much changes in size .
Stop getting Pixel phones. iPhone 12 & 13 are about the size of Pixel 5.

Get a new battery and you should be good

I was actually thinking about this today, I even asked Gemini about it 😂.
If there is someone using a Custom ROM here, how is the battery life 🔋 compared to stock android on pixels?
using graphene on pixel 8a, much better
I use pixelbuilds os android 14 on my pixel 3a. And i am waiting for the android 15 update soon.
I'ma try using the P9XL for at least 5 years to see if Google really stands behind their device. With the 2 years left I should receive a penny for the resell.
Actually, with the advance of release date of android versions, it'll give an advantage for the P9 with one more version
I'm going to see if I can keep using my Pixel 8a in 2031. I'm an optimist!
A nice summary
7:09 why do you encourage people to keep consuming when their devices function properly?
For an average person like me, who uses phone texting, calling, banking, UA-cam and some travel apps including maps. What will happen if the phone doesn’t have the latest software?
Nothing. Unless the phone is over 6 years old - then you may have certain apps, that no longer support your OS version. Possibly.
I hope no buggy update which bricks the phone or causes green and pink lines. Buying the Pixel 9 pro wasn't cheap.
Ah, Pixel 2 XL panda color. The most beautiful phone I've ever seen.
Will my Pixel 6 be automatically taken off of the Beta program?
I'm pretty sure phones with graphene or even lineage are more secure than google phone. specially since you can block your bootloader in those devices after successfully making the switch. After all those rom are privacy focused.
When will armv10 release??
What about the Pixelbook Go?
lol
The question is will the hardware be able to last till 7 years?
Absolutely not and Google knows it won't. After 7 years Pixel 9 series won't even have a lot of resell value. If Google stops making phones before 7 years Pixel 9 might be a collector's item.

So, pixel 6a will get android 16 but pixel 6 & 6 pro won't be getting it, is it the case?
Piss take if true, I've got the 6 pro and surely it should receive android 16 if the 6a is
