The last time I bought a Google-branded phone, they cut support after only 18 months. I’ll never buy a Google hardware product ever again.

I bought an LG G7 from Google Fi, and it was exactly 18 months from the phone's release to when they stopped updating it. I didn't buy it on day one either, so I got even less. I vowed that was the last e-waste phone I'm buying and moved to an iPhone last year.

There are still a lot of things I like better on Android, but it's not worth it.

This is in large part due to poor luck and changing phones a lot, but I managed to use Android for around 4 years without ever receiving an over the air system update.
