We typically like Pixel phones a lot, but we have some reservations about Google’s quality control

    How long do you get updates? Also, is that for every component? What ARM version does it use?

      They have said 3 years of software updates. It’s on Android 13 now and got it’s last security update in December 2023.

      Not sure about arm version but probably you can find info about that online. It’s an Edge 30 Pro.

        Okay so they are not good with Updates, because Android 14 is out since October, and at least Google ships full security patches every month, i.e. somewhere in Februrary.

        GrapheneOS consumes the Google updates into its build system, so it is very fast. They had support for the Pixel Tablet in a day after release, which is crazy.

        OEM manufacturers get early access to the codebase because they need to modify their kernels etc, so delaying an update that long is just bad.
