Pixel 8 to have seven years of Android updates
I feel like the elephant in the room is that there&#x27;s no phone battery that&#x27;s going to stay useful in anywhere close to that time frame, and replacing phone batteries is usually a losing proposition.  I&#x27;ve tried, several times.  Fake, low-quality batteries are rampant (usually degrading within weeks), and genuine ones are prohibitively expensive -- usually a significant fraction of the cost of a new phone.
