It looks like hardware improvement is shifting to AI capabilities. If so, in 7 years pixel 8 will be hardly interesting for anyone from the target audience.

agressivelyPassive,

Who actually gives a crap about AI in real life?

Seriously, what possible actual, real life use case does the average user (even Pixel user) have? Image processing, maybe, but that’s nothing groundbreaking.

Every single demo of anything AI related I’ve seen is nothing more than a nice demo. Impressive, but still just a demo.

Think about, what are you actually doing with your phone that’s so much different from what you did 5 or 10 years ago? Maybe I’m a weirdo, but I use literally 80% of the very same apps. Do these need ai on my phone? Not really.

Google set to cancel “7 years of software updates for the Pixel 8”.

Google will be shuddering its “7 years of software updates” program next month, just 1 year after launch. The company sites unforeseen economic changes for the decision.

Your Pixel 8 will continue to work, but no new updates will be coming.

PonyOfWar,

Google has so far kept their software update promises for Pixel phones with no issues.

deegeese,

The issue is that those previous promises were for a very short support window, and Google has a terrible track record for any sort of long term support.

Google supports Pixel? Sure.

Google supports anything for 7 years? Doubtful.
