Google Extends Software Support for Pixel 6, 7, and Fold to Five Years

The update adds two extra years of OS upgrades, aligning older models with Google's newer Pixel support policies.

Google has retroactively extended OS and security update support for the Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel Fold to five years from their launch dates.
This change adds two additional years of OS updates to these devices, previously limited to three years of OS support and five years of security updates.
The Pixel 6 series will now receive updates through Android 17, while the Pixel 7 series and Pixel Fold will be supported until 2027 and 2028, respectively.
The update was quietly confirmed through a change on Google's support page and an official post on X, marking a significant policy shift for older devices.
Google's newer Pixel models, starting with the Pixel 8, already feature a seven-year support commitment, setting a new standard for Android devices.
