By far the biggest pain point of Sony.. their software is clean stable and fast, with acceptable release cadence, but their promise of 2 years is completely unacceptable in this day
Wish there was any way at all to influence them
Honestly I love their hardware design. I think it's the best out.
But I love custom ROMs more.
If they simply opened up their devices I wouldn't care about how many official OS updates they offer, because I would be using a ROM that would keep constantly updating.
Although currently there's very little interest in ROM development for Sony phones. Kinda like the chicken or the egg.
Really just want flagship hardware with custom ROMs.
My OnePlus 7 Pro is still going strong, for now.
Notably mentions 5 OS updates for Google, which may end up being the policy for the Pixel 8 series (so far we only know in general 7 years of updates).
Would be great if they could get that on the older Tensor Pixels as well, at least increase the OS updates by 1 year if not 2.
Fairphone is missing from the list.

Wait where is this 7 years coming from? Pixel 6 and 7 have 5 years. Did this change for Pixel 8?
Nevermind. Found it.
