    way longer

    What’s the actual number? We can’t really compare “7 years” and “way longer”.

      Pixel 4a just fell out of support, that’s roughly 3 years. Not so great.

          If you have to compare it with terrible to look OK, it’s a tacit admission Android support windows are next to terrible.

        Wow, that’s less than my Galaxy S8. It was getting updates from 2017 to 2022.
