Google has just updated its software support page of the Pixel 2 smartphones and revealed that it will be delivering three major OS updates for Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, along with the monthly security patch updates. Earlier, Google used to deliver two major software updates for its devices and security updates for three years. With this move, Google is pushing users to purchase the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL.

Software department plays an important role in an end-user experience and Google wants to bank on it. Having said that, more and more smartphone brands in recent times have joined the bandwagon of offering stock Android on their smartphones such as Nokia, Lenovo, Essential, and so on. To differentiate the Pixel 2 devices from the competition, Google promised three major software updates.

“Pixel 2 (2017) phones get Android version updates for at least three years from when the device first became available on the Google Store. After three years, we can’t guarantee more updates,” as said by Google in the software support page. This essentially means that the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will receive Android R update in 2020 if at all Google follows its tradition of naming next Android iteration succeeding an alphabet.
