No 6P guaranteed updates past Sept 2017

If you got it at launch, you'll get M, N and O ... it'll be 3 years once P rolls around. 36 months is solid IMO. Not many people keep their phones post that anyway, and it's not like you're phone can't run on O for more than a year.
 
Ya, I'm not worried and I just got mine a month ago. Just an fyi a heads up for people considering the device.

{Nexus 6P}
 
I feel like even if I get this phone next year and keep it for two, I would be fine with this. Keeping an older update is okay. :)

The lack of security updates is a bush move in my opinion.

It will also get security updates and minor version updates until about the time P is released. That means 3 years of being fully current on software.
 
This only says updates not guaranteed. Google will still probably update if hardware is capable.

Exactly. Older devices are still being updated even now if the hardware is capable.

Google said it will update devices for two years. Nexus 6P came out in 2015 and 2 years is 2017.
 
Getting Android version updates for 2 years, and Security patches for 3 years works for me. This is one of the reasons I have pretty much moved to just Nexus devices from 2016 forward.

I've been spoiled by iOS so if I did come back to Android it would only be Nexus. Don't want to have to deal with carrier and OEM bogged down phones.
 
When you think about it, the older iOS devices that are still being updated are essentially getting security patches at this point. Much of the added feature set of the new iOS versions isn't available on the older devices.

I can understand this one. Did you see the whole MM thing for AT&T?
 
I'm just waiting for the 7p to come out so the price on the 6p will drop! :D
 
Well... I'll say this to anyone up on the ol' ledge... 'step back'

OS updates only guaranteed for two years... so that means that the 6P will get N and whatever O is. And once O is released, it'll be up to date with minor bug fixes/minor OS updates and security updates through the end (presumably when P is released). What this statement really means is that Google isn't making any promises about you getting the next major OS update after 'O', but you will be kept up to date until that point.... so the 6P will be up to date until Fall 2018.

Don't you hate it when you get the "quoted you" notification and all they said was, "this^^"?
