Google stops supporting the original pixel

The Google Pixel arrived three years ago on the market, in its first generation. They were presented and launched in 2016 on the market. After several years in the market, the company officially stops supporting these phones. Although it is not a surprise, because in its day it was said that they would not have support beyond 2019.

Google stops supporting the original Pixel

The good news for users is that the firm surprised by giving the update to Android 10 to these models. So they have had access to it at all times.

End of support

Google withdraws full support for this original Pixel. As you know, they also run out of security patches. So for users who still have this model is something to keep in mind, they will not have additional protection against threats. This decision is something that does not completely convince users.

Since many brands usually maintain security patches, despite the fact that such support has been terminated. But from the American company they have considered that it is not necessary or does not make sense. Therefore, support has been terminated in all respects.

The end of the support is effective from January 2020. Therefore, until December 31 these Pixels will be protected and will continue to have patches, as until now. In the new year, this support will be part of the past. What do you think about the firm's decision?
