Google says it’ll support Pixel 8 series with seven years of Android updates

Two seven-year smartphones.

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

    Not to mention a lot of their killed apps/services are old versions. Like angularJS was upgraded to Angular V2.

    That’s like saying Mozilla is killing Firefox because they released version 120!

    Also a lot of the services were “killed” to combine them into one service. The thing people have been begging Google to do for years, to merge apps and focus on one instead of 10 separate ones.

    Or the fact there’s hardware on there, like Google “killing” Google Home Max. You mean releasing Google Next Max? The next version?

    That website is garbage, and anyone that links it is just being dishonest.

      I have always hated it for this, but hating on Google is so popular that you can use what’s basically a website full of lies (of omission?) and get upvotes

      They even include rebrands as killed, like what even… and I’m not talking about Google Play music, that was actually killed. One example is tez, the Indian version of Google pay that got rebranded to (you can guess it easily) Google pay.
