Google Pixel will have updates until October 2019. Google has announced that although new phones of the brand are expected for this year, the current Google Pixel will continue to be updated and have support until October 2019.
Rumors and leaks keep us knowing more about new Pixel phones expected for this 2017. But Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL are still the best devices that we could currently have. Google launched the phones at the end of last year and now remarks that they will continue to receive updates until the end of 2019. Until October 2019, specifically.
Both the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL will receive support until 2019, according to Google, but it will not necessarily be new versions of the operating system. Google's listing indicates that both the Pixel and Pixel XL will receive security updates until October 2019, when a Google Pixel 3 could be released, following the logical pace of Google phone launches. Even if this happened, Google Pixel would continue to receive security patches, updates with improvements, solutions, etc.
Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL will receive software updates until October 2018, exactly two years after the filing period. This means that Google phones can be updated to Android O but this will very possibly be the last operating system model to be installed on them.
Two and three years of updates is a good maintenance period for phones, considering that the current flagship of the Mountain View ones will be obsolete by Christmas 2019. Also, most users do not usually spend more than three years with the same Smartphone. Of course, those who are happy with the phone and want to have it for many years, already know that they can count on Google, security updates and improvements in the operating system.
Google Pixel 2017
Although these are just rumors, Google is expected to launch three devices this year. Three new code-named devices Walleye, Muskie and Taimen. It is known that Walleye would be the successor to Pixel XL while Muskie would be the successor to the current Google Pixel. Speculation and rumors speak that Google's third device could be a brand tablet, completing the catalog. Although not many details are known, the three devices are expected to carry a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. A chip that promises high performance and is already incorporated into the new Samsung Galaxy S8 phones in their version for the United States. The company has not yet given information on the new phones, prices or launches but the last phones were presented during the month of October so the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel XL 2 should also be presented in October of this year.
