I read something about Pixel 6 getting upgrades to Android 17. Initially A15 was the last upgrade and then 2 years security updates. Question is: is the hardware going to be able to run A17 properly? -- s|b

Question is: > is the hardware going to be able to run A17 properly? My Pixel5a didn't feel as though it was struggling when it ran out of updates. Obviously the latest feature drop has only just hit, but I think the next one will bump *all* pixel 6/7/8 up to the same linux kernel 6.1 that the pixel 9 is running

According to <https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705?hl=en> Pixel 6 devices get, quote: "(...) 5 years starting from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US. This includes 5 years of OS and security updates, and may also include new and upgraded features with Pixel Drops." Since the Pixel 6 was released October 28, 2021, this means updates until October 2026. There is no indication, that Android 17 will not be supported on those devices. And since the hardware is also designed by Google I would expect it to support Android 17 just fine. The additional hardware requirements are usually more driven by apps which ask for more memory and a faster CPU and not as much by the operating system. Google may also just keep things out which are not supported well enough. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
