Now this is nice. Hopefully 3rd party manufacturers can also provide a longer life span for the device.

    Every Pixel so far has been supported for as long or longer than it’s official support window. This isn’t a free chat app. It costs a lot and it comes with warranties and expectations for true spec sheets.

      Also consider that the cost to do the maintenance updates has decreased due to extensive code refactoring and projects like Treble, Mainline, and the Generic Kernel Image. Major work in the platform has been focused on cutting these costs.

        Very well aware. Currently writing a HAL to cross Treble. 🥲

      Maybe so, but those windows have never been close to this long, so I’ll believe it when I see it.

      And even beyond seven years free data harvesting too!

        Speak for yourself, that’s 7 years of GrapheneOS support! What phone do you use which you think is squeaky clean?

          There isn’t one. Maybe Fairphone 5 but even with custom ROMs, running Play Services as a sandboxed user app isn’t possible. And even vanilla iPhones can’t be as privacy oriented as GrapheneOS is.
