"7 years of updates, but not necessarily 7 OS updates," Kamila added in a post on X (formerly called Twitter). For context, the company offered up to five years of security and three years of OS updates on the Pixel 7 series. With the move, the company might defeat flagships from Samsung and OnePlus, which offer five years of software updates in India.
