In the present time, where smartphones rule, the biggest competition between them is how fast software updates and security processes are affected. Google has made that one big step towards their Pixel devices, which brings about restlessness in rival brands, especially Samsung Galaxy. The latest policy on Pixel updates places in such a distinctive position that it is ahead of Samsung.
Google Pixel Update: Gave A Guarantee of Seven Years!!
Recently, it announced that all new Pixel products would get software, security, and feature updates for as long as seven years. That means that when you buy a Pixel phone, you're essentially buying a phone that's guaranteed to get the most recent version of Android, along with security and features directly for seven unbroken years. No other Android manufacturer has ever made such an assurance on the length of the periods for which updates will be made available.
What about the Samsung Galaxy Now?
Well, four years of Android updates, and five years of patches for premium devices-that's the new promise from Samsung to customers. It was great at some point, but has now turned shadowy under the newly minted updates policy from Google.
Pixel is operating in a good position, thus enhancing its visibility among consumers who prefer long-term use. Since users do not want to keep changing their mobiles, it becomes an added advantage to get updates after a long time.
User Importance
Security: Long-haul security updates mean protection from hacks and malware.
Value: Longer updates mean an extended lifespan for the phone, thus maximizing value for money over time. Environmentally, frequent phone changes imply less e-waste generated, which is better for the environment.
By such a bold move, Google has just finished setting a new precedent in the Android ecosystem. Other companies, such as Samsung, will also have to take note and realign their policies now. Long-time updates are now not a luxury anymore, but very soon would probably become a right for every smartphone user very soon.
