Google, we want 7 OS upgrades for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro!
The Issue
We, the undersigned, are calling on Google to announce 7 OS upgrades for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro smartphones. It would ensure that users have access to the latest features and security updates for many years to come.
Google is known for its commitment to software updates, and the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are its flagship smartphones. However, Google currently only offers 7 OS upgrades for Pixel 8 series.
For the Pixel 7 series, this is less than what many other smartphone manufacturers offer, such as Samsung, which offers 4 OS upgrades for its flagship phones.
There are several benefits to offering 7 OS upgrades for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. First, it would make the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro more sustainable devices.
Users would be able to use their phones for longer without having to worry about them becoming obsolete. This would reduce the amount of electronic waste that is produced each year.
Here are some of the benefits of 7 OS upgrades:
- Longer lifespan for your smartphone: With 7 OS upgrades, you can keep your Pixel 7 or 7 Pro for longer, without sacrificing performance or features.
- Reduced environmental impact: By keeping your smartphone for longer, you can help to reduce electronic waste.
- Access to the latest features and security updates: With 7 OS upgrades, you will always have access to the latest Android features and security updates, which will help to keep your smartphone safe and secure.
- New Android versions often include new features that can improve the user experience. Security updates are also important for protecting users from malware and other cyber threats.
We urge Google to commit to 7 OS upgrades for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro smartphones. This would be a win-win for both Google and its customers.
Pixel 8 Pro x 7 Years Of OS Upgrades
The Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will be supported with seven years of “OS, security, and Feature Drop updates,” meaning buyers should be able to use them until 2030 before their software starts to become outdated.
“You’ll receive the latest OS and security updates for 7 years, and new, helpful features with Feature Drops every few months,” Google’s blog post announcing the phones reads (via TheVerge).
Seven years of software support is a big step up compared to what Google has offered previously, which has been limited to five years of security updates and only three years of Android OS upgrades.
It’s also a longer support period than what basically all of Google’s mainstream Android competitors are currently offering. Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi are all promising four generations of Android version updates and five years of security updates for their latest flagships.
