 Wow! Google Pixel 8 will receive monthly Android security updates for seven years. This is probably the only Android phone with seven years of security update support. 
 @425a31b8 The Fairphone 5 has a guaranteed 8 years, with up to 10 years of support if Qualcomm plays along ;) 
 @425a31b8 look at the price tag as well. The pixel series is great but also expensive 
 @425a31b8 Google glaims it will get that. We'll only know if that's true 8 years from release. 
 @425a31b8 TBH I rather hope that before the passing of 8 years we'll have legislation in place (in the EU at least) ensuring that all Android phones have LTS of at least 8 years.

And why stop at smartphones when there are billions of IoT abandonware devices waiting to be exploited, we have to do this sooner rather than later 
 @425a31b8 Good for people affording it. 
 @425a31b8 Nope, Fairphone has eight years! 
 @425a31b8 please edit you r post and make the world a better place by adding the fairphone people already mentioned
