I'm a Pixel owner, and the phone quality has been stellar IMO, but I would never use any phone that couldn't get security updates - zero days, and sometimes zero days that require no or very little user action, are too common with cell phones. Which is why I think the 7 year support announcement is great news.

This is why I upgraded from 3->6. I guess I'll need to go to 9 or 10 once the updates run out.
