Source: Google Pixel 8 will get more Android OS updates - 9to5google

It's good but I personally don't care, phone manufactures will eventually stop updating their old phones, since Pixel phones are so open I can rely on third party ROMs comfortably, that's also why I got the Pixel 6 Pro at the first place. Although I would admit for the mass majority an Apple like updating experience is essential.

I would really like to see Google improve their hardwares, I have no complaints with my 6 Pro whatsoever, but it's obviously inferior to the Samsung's S Series Ultra or the Apple's iPhone Pro, both in terms of specs and designs. I have no issues with specs since I don't play games but I believe most people still do, designs however is much more important especially in the premium phones frontend.
