It’s also worth noting that this is a minimum commitment by Google, and it’s previously issued updates to Pixel devices that are no longer eligible to receive them.
It’s usually rare to see a commitment like this in the Android space, but the likes ofOnePlusandNokiahave bucked the trend in recent years.
