With how awful my P6 is ageing I wouldn't count on it...

Me not trusting pixel phones toast more than 2-4 years is the reason I still won't buy another one. If I see people actually still use the p8 by 2030 I might buy one again.

I've had mine for 4 years at a time. And I change for convenience, not because they break down.

Edit: Went through the order history. I wasn't entirely correct. More like 3 years at a time. But, I didn't have to upgrade either.

My phone history is

-samsung gamaxy S3 mini

-Nexus 6 (2014/15?-2017)

-oneplus 5t (2017-2021)

-Pixel 6 (2021-now)

So I don't change out frequently either but I do think this will be my shortest time if using a phone this far.
