Tldr the new lease on life is they are doing a couple more years of software updates for it. I think there is some wisdom on c/googlepixel about what models to get. I smile when I see the article describing how great it is that you can get a 512GB storage model for $400 and that the huge storage is such an attraction. I can get a 512GB MicroSDXC card for my Moto G for $40, heh heh heh, and 2TB cards are a thing now too (IDK if they will work in my phone). The Pixel’s main benefit as I see it is GrapheneOS, so the new Google P7 software updates aren’t that important.
