@return2ozma committing to a number of years of software updates is...odd, not necessarily in the sense that nobody else is doing it, but in the sense that there are so many variables that go into whether or not a device will be supported on an update it’s actually kind of hard to set that kind of deadline and truthfully stick to it

The same with the claims from Google and Samsung: I’ll believe it when I see it (after all, remember PixelPass?)

I have a feeling the 7 years of software updates for Samsung or Pixel, can't remember which, will eventually start losing some of the more advanced features in the later years due to hardware constraints.
