This one is aimed at those who aren’t beta-testing Android 14. It’s a bunch of “security patches” for Pixel phones running Android 13, though Google didn’t give a detailed changelog.

    I got this phone straight from Google at the end of October 2020

    They count from launch date, which in your case is August 2020, so… 😕

    Definitely agree that they could do more on their update guarantees.

      Haha yeah, launch date, which makes it 3 years and 1 month which is still absurd. It’s sad that they’re okay with condemning the device as e-waste since it’s still perfectly serviceable, but I can’t use it for work if it’s no longer receiving at least security updates 😢

      And before someone says “just buy a new pixel” I don’t really like the new pixels. The 4a has a headphone jack, a rear fingerprint reader, and is still fast with good battery. I shouldn’t be forced to buy an upgrade to this one yet.
