Congratulations, Pixel 8 Owners..! You are getting seven years of updates.
Google has announced the Pixel 8 lineup this week on a fixed schedule. Here, the most noticeable catch is that this latest lineup, which includes Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, will get seven years of updates. A couple of weeks ago, it was known from rumors that the company is planning to provide updates for 7 years to its Pixel devices. But now it’s confirmed!
The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro devices will get seven years of updates, which include major Android OS updates, security patches, and feature drops. Undoubtedly, all of these play an important role in maintaining the device’s seamless functionality and performance.
Wait! The deal is still ongoing; Pixel 8 owners will get up to seven years of spare parts.
How terrible it seems when you want to fix your phone’s screen or replace the battery a few years later, but somehow you can’t. Fortunately, by keeping this thing in mind, Google representatives confirmed that the brand will provide spare parts for seven years to these smartphones, such as the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
According to reports in a sitdown interview, Soniya Jobanputra, who is the director of product management at Google, stated that
“Parts will be available for seven years. That’s part of our commitment as we go the seven years (sic) that we need to make our parts available so you can keep your hardware alive for that long.”
However, the brand Google did not reveal much more detailed information regarding this scheme, but iFixit is a partner of the company in the US. So, it stands to reason that one can also buy Pixel 8 parts from the repair website.
Anyway, it’s a celebration time for the Pixel 8 owners as Google commits to offering spare parts throughout the lifetime of the Pixel 8 series. This commitment seems important and convenient for the battery because most smartphone batteries degrade by 20% after just over two years. It is so, being able to easily buy a spare battery in the needy time if you want to keep the device running well for seven years.
