Unless something drastic has changed, I would not be buying any hardware from Google.

In my experience Google has a history of discontinuing support at very short notice. It also still hadn’t figured out shipping, accessories or warranty return the last time I purchased something from them.

Has this happened earlier than their announced timelines? Google has publicly stated 7 years of support for these phones.

Google absolutely EOL many products, but from what I know they never guaranteed support for those and went back on it later.

That may well be true, but it doesn’t excuse selling new hardware that it ceased to provide updates for less than a year later, six months was all I got if I recall correctly, this was some time ago as others have pointed out.

If you’re going into this, do so with your eyes open and be prepared for Murphy’s Law to apply:

“Anything that can happen, will”
