The Google Pixel 3 (XL) will probably get its last update soon. The device did not return in the November security patch, and the device is not included in the update for Pixel phones that is planned for December. However, there is still a little sun shining behind the clouds.
Not very remarkable
The news from Google is not remarkable, because October was already the last month that the Pixel 3 (XL) would receive guaranteed security updates. Google promised to give the 2018 device security updates for three years and Android upgrades for three years. The company has kept this promise.
These updates were by the way one of the main reasons to purchase this device. Nowadays, getting three years of security updates may not be very exceptional anymore, and three years of upgrades are already offered by several manufacturers. At the time, however, this was different and the Pixel 3, especially when it came to upgrades, was unique.
Just one last time
According to Google, the Google Pixel 3 (XL) will receive one last update. This would be scheduled for the first quarter of 2022. In all likelihood, the latest bugs will be fixed in this update. However, after this update, it will be ready for the Pixel 3 (XL). The owners of the Google 3a (XL) can expect updates for another six months.
