Google Pixel phones, with GraphineOS you can keep using it for a decade or more
Not without cracking it open to swap the battery.
I was under the impression that Graphene OS stops support for Pixel models at the same time as Google does.
You're correct, GrapheneOS is just for privacy and security, not to keep devices out of the landfill. LineageOS keeps devices up for super long. The first gen Pixel is still officially supported with Android 14, and I've seen an unofficial build for a Nexus 4, a 2012 phone...
Thus us true for security updates 7 years is the stock timeframe.
7 years is only for newer models.
Is there a reason why nobody has ported postmarketos to any of the pixel devices?
Or, for longer, LineageOS
A lot of them have pretty good PostmarketOS support too, so can double down as a Linux server if you ever move on to another devicd
I have a Galaxy S3 somewhere, which is apparently supported by PostmarketOS. Interesting.
