Google officially extends update schedules for Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel

[phillynews215]

• Google has officially added two additional years of update commitments to the Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel Fold.
• That means the Pixel 6 will see support until Android 17, and the Pixel 7 and Pixel Fold will see Android 18.
• Notably, the Google Pixel 6 series should already be done with updates.

When Google launched the Pixel 8 series in 2023, it surprised us all by confirming that the phones would get a whopping seven years of software support. That meant seven Android upgrades, 28 Pixel Drops, and 84 security patches. This commitment continued with the Pixel 9 series launched earlier this year.

Unfortunately, that meant the Pixel 6 series, Pixel 7 series, and Pixel Fold would be stuck with the older three-year commitment. Notably, that meant Android 15 would be the final upgrade for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. However, today, Google quietly updated its support page to show that the Pixel 6 series, Pixel 7 series, and Pixel Fold will now get an additional two years of updates!
