Google Surprises Pixel 6 7 And Fold Users With Extended Support To 5 Years

Google has quietly extended the support window for Pixel 6 and 7 series with 2 additional years of OS updates. This information is now reflected on the Pixel Help page, which previously showed only 3 years for these devices. The company has also extended the supported for Pixel Fold to 5 years. Google has also confirmed this change via an X post.
This means the Pixel 6 series will get major OS updates and feature drops till 2026 and the Pixel 7 series till 2027. The Pixel Fold which released in May 2023 will get software support till 2028.

It makes me extremely happy as a Pixel 6 user that I can hold onto the phone for a couple more years because I feel it’s one of the best Pixels design and color-wise. I recently replaced the battery and with the extended updates, perhaps I can look forward to replacing the battery again and using the phone for as long as possible. This is also great news for those who want to purchase a used Pixel 6 or 7 series, but were hesitant because of the lack of updates. The extended support means you can pick up a used Pixel 7 Pro because it would have as much support window left as more recent Android phones.
