What’s the actual number? We can’t really compare “7 years” and “way longer”.
Previous pixel phones got between 3 and 4 years of updates.
Pixel 6 series and 7 have 5 years and now 7 with the 8 series
Pixel 4a just fell out of support, that’s roughly 3 years. Not so great.
Wow, that’s less than my Galaxy S8. It was getting updates from 2017 to 2022.
