Google promised 7 years of updates for Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pros, but that guarantee might already be misleading.
Google did something during the Pixel 8 event last week that not even Apple dared to do during its iPhone events. Google promised 7 years of software updates, security updates, and Feature Drops for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. iPhones routinely get 5 years of iOS updates, though Apple never commits to a specific timeframe. I said that the extended support, something unique in the Android universe, is a good enough reason to upgrade to the more expensive Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
Google also mentioned unspecified limitations as a reason for the Pixel 8 not getting the exclusive Pixel 8 Pro features. There's a reason I mentioned the specs above. The only meaningful difference between the two phones is the extra RAM. Google did reveal to Android Authority one other reason for keeping Video Boost exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro. That extra $300 helps pay for the cloud infrastructure that processes the data.
