Great video My Nexus 6 just met kid induced screen explosion syndrome Otherwise it was still running great.

Just curious, what do they mean by it's not supported as of Oct. 2016?

That video was great thanks for sharing this I am glad I still use my Nexus 6.

Hello I am the creator of this video.

Thank you for posting it out here and spreading it around. Before now I didn't even have an Android Central account.

I can't believe that Google is ending support for the Nexus 6. Seems like they are becoming like every other MFG that wants to sell new phones... they end support for the phones that still be supported. This is the reason why IOS is so popular...they are in support of most all of the phones they have sold. I will most likely stop buying Google phones if this will be the Norm. I already bought the Note 7, but it must go back...I temporarily bought a Nexus 6P until a new Note type phone is introduced. The Nexus 5/6 phones that I owned were top performers software wise, but Pixels are not worthy of the prices Googles is asking.

No guaranteed OS updates for the Nexus 6. But it'll get guaranteed security updates for one more year.

But they aren't ending suport? It already has Nougat, has a full year of security updates left, etc?

I'm glad you're okay with sharing the video here. Your post karma on reddit must've shot through the roof today and deservedly so.

I agree so overpriced for what you get. Will take a free one though.

Nice video, Ryan.

I think it helps to confirm that innovation has slowed. Apple is left stunts like removing the headphone jack (and the sheeple stillstand in line to buy it), and Google just makes a different phone that is similar to a lot of other phones (except it's more expensive, and has fewer features).

Video is great! But I'm still getting the Pixel

 

[Wiley_11]

Welcome to AC. Cool vid! Still rocken my Nexus 6, no need for anything else yet.

 

[Xingularity]

Welcome to AC. My note 4 died so I looked around for something else. Bought a Nexus 6. nothing else fit the bill....

To only give software support only after two years is ridiculous...even Apple supports their phones for more than 2 years. I should buy a phone because I want to rather than I am being forced to because of lack of software updates.....really!

It was advertised up front as 2 years major updates and 3 years security. Also, no one is ever being forced to buy these things.

hahahah. This is great. I'm still rocking my N6.

Really...So you think that because they tell you that you are only going to get 2 years means that their software support of a phone that their competitor gives 4 years is just dandy. One has nothing to do with the other....two years support for a 700.00 device is just ridiculous. I like Google but I am not so fan boyish that I feel that their policies that rake the end user over the coals for an expensive device is ok.

I have a PC that will go as long as 4 years on the software and even longer....This can happen with Cell phones but they look to drive sales rather than to drive over all customer satisfaction. This is where Apple has them all beat, software over all customer experience. All iPhone's get software up dates for 4 years.Disclaimer....I never owned an iProduct....now what.

It's never. about being forced to buy something it'sabout after you buy it the feeling that you are not getting your moneys worth regardless of what the fine print says.

But if you know what you're buying up front and decide you're fine with it and go through with it, that's where the scenario changes. Because if you're not OK with it, then tell them about it by buying from their competitors.

 

[QWIKSTRIKE]

Agreed...that's why I bought a Note 7. Too bad it is such and explosive device. I had two that worked flawlessly, and bought a Nexus 6p just because I plan on using it temporarily until the next Note drops. I know with them I will not get the latest software update, but I am ok with that.....lol
