The longevity of Android updates has always been a problem, but one that’s been getting better with time. Google has, behind the scenes, introduced some big changes for Android manufacturers that will make it easier for more Android phones to offer support for up to 7 years, just like Pixel.
Those will be required in the EU by 2027
Holy shit really?!? That’s the main reason most people think their phone is “going bad!” That will be wonderful for sustainability.
