> Not as long as an iPhone, but more like 3-5 years.

Pixels starting from 6 -> 5 years.

Recent Samsungs -> 4 years.

Fairphone 2 (Dec 2015) -> lost support last month.

Things have improved since Nexus 5X, and even that one had a year longer support than your "max 2 years". I'm not saying it's better than an iPhone, I'm saying make a fair comparison.

Apple has a track record of supporting phones for half a decade.

Pixel 6 came out last year, the 5 year promise is still just a promise.

Samsung's 4 years isn't 4 years of major Android version updates. IIRC it was 2 years of Android updates + 2 years of security patches.

We'll see in 6 years whether the Nexus 6 can get the latest Android version. I'm pretty damn sure my iPhone 14 will still get updates in 2028.

Ok, nice to see this is improving for the big brand android phones.

A lot of people buy cheap $no-brand phones that probably don’t get (any) updates.
