Good to know your phone with your PC CPU from 2009 still works fine.
Joke aside, phones at that time barely got any updates. Pixel phone starting from series 6 was one of those which had longer update cycle than average. Nowadays, you easily get 6-8 years of software and security updates.
It can improve. But, hardware level support is not that great compared to a desktop computer. So, we have these short support cycles.
Except that my 6 is still functioning just fine. battery still lasts the whole day, it doesn’t feel sluggish with normal usage, and I just replaced the case like a month ago. I have no reason to upgrade for at least another year.
It should. For general, usage most smartphones are fine. My phone has less processing power than your phone. But, thanks to 12GB of RAM and fast UFS 3.1 storage it handles 98% of tasks without lag. Only those needing high CPU and GPU power like local LLM models or high end games which require more horse power have a hard time.
A new leak claims Google is preparing to upgrade the Linux kernel on most Tensor-based Pixel phones to version 6.12.
The new kernel could potentially bring real performance and efficiency improvements, thanks in part to Google’s AutoFDO.
Judging by the leak, the Pixel 6 will not receive the update
5 Years is still respectable when support for most phones ended at the 3 year mark for phones launched at that time period.
My pc cpu is from 2009
