Google guarantees new updates for Pixel devices for 7 years, we will tell you more about that now.
Offering a seven-year warranty on software is not an easy task. However, in a new podcast, Google explained what’s important and what’s important: the Tensor chipset plays an important role.
Mobile operators, suppliers, partners and others must be equipped to conduct “continuous testing” of software over long periods of time. However, the most complex component is the chipset (SoC) and now comes from Google, which is a big advantage over others.
Another important thing is the quarterly Android updates for the Pixel series and the associated beta testing phase. According to Google, it has many beta testers, which definitely helps ensure high quality for innovation.
“Support the Pixel as long as people use the device”
Interestingly, Google is basing the new update guarantee period on older Pixel devices on choice. The first Pixel from 2016 still has a pretty good active user base. For this reason, seven years was chosen as a fairly accurate number.
Google insists that as part of this long update guarantee, older models should have as many new functions available as possible. However, system performance is an important factor that can affect individual experience. However, Google cannot guarantee all new functions.
A current example is the Pixel 8, which has significantly less RAM than the Pixel 8 Pro. So, Google didn’t want to offer the Gemini Nano, a mobile AI language model, on the Pixel 8. But now this problem is solved.
