        I am willing to pay if i must, but not with ads. I dont use any particular site enough to justify a subscription, but i would be perfectly willing to pay say 1 millenero (0.001 monero) to read the article.

      Google makes money from providing service and advertising. It has more to gain from supported devices than without.

      Because they can say they will, possibly sell slightly more than they predicted. And then in 2 years say that they cannot support it anymore anyway.

    I’d love to see that happen. At the very least security updates. It’s a shame when a device stops getting updates rendering it an insecure device despite the hardware still being capable of quality performance. Especially with phones costing more than laptops.

    7 years of security updates alongside feature drops, which hopefully translate into 7 years of OS upgrades, would be great. The hardware may not be as repairable as the fairphone, but I guess something is better than nothing.

    I have a Pixel 6 and after 1 year the battery is terrible. I intend to move to Pixel 8 because of longer updates and Desktop Mode. Unfortunately they don’t have removable batteries yet.

    For the rumored extra $200 price tag, it’s disappointing that they aren’t including the better gorilla glass Victus 2, Qi2 charging, UWB, and UFS 4.0 on the Pixel 8.

    At least include the more durable glass, Qi2, and UWB. This is going to make the phone pretty out of date just by the spring. Especially because of the tendency for Pixels to get much worse over time.

    I’m a forever Android fan, but I’m getting jealous of the quality and consistency of iPhones. I just wish I could find that kind of hardware quality in something other than Samsung (because I can’t stand their software).

        The batteries are replaceable. Just not user-replaceable and therefore a bit more expensive. Typically $80-100 a pop for Pixels.
