Complete Roster: Pixel Devices Scheduled to Lose Update Support Next Year
Google's current support schedule indicates that 2026 marks a significant turning point for the Pixel 6 series, with the devices nearing the end of their support lifecycle.
nAs per the schedule, the Pixel 6 series will reach its "End of Life" for security patches later this year, despite having already received their final major Android OS version.
nThe primary devices affected by this transition are the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which will reach their final support milestone in 2026.
nGoogle typically provides two types of updates for its devices: major Android version upgrades and monthly security patches, with the latter being crucial for protecting against new viruses and software vulnerabilities.
nThe Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have already completed their major Android version updates, but will stop receiving critical security patches in October 2026.
nAfter October 2026, these devices will no longer receive monthly security fixes, leaving them vulnerable to new threats.
nThe Pixel 6a, however, has a slightly different support timeline, with security updates scheduled to continue until July 2027.
nIn contrast, newer models like the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will continue to receive support until at least October 2027.
nMeanwhile, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 are promised to receive support for 7 full years, with updates extending until 2030 and beyond.
