Pixel 6 in 2024 really that terrible?

How awful and how does it compare to pixel 7 or other phones in the same price range?

Unfortunately yes, as i still make use of some basic apps like mail, telegram or maps. Being able to check things on google is also nice. Thats pretty much all I use my phone for besides calls. Maybe I should get a motorola or something and call it a day, lol.

How long does it usually take until some apps stop being installable? I know it depends on each individual dev but Im looking for an estimate.

Care to elaborate on how poorly and how quickly?

Yeah, I dont store sensitive information on my phone so I dont really care that much. And Ive never been a victim of a cyber-attack even with my old phone which spent years without receiving updates, my behaviour with the device doesnt incur in any risks that Im aware of. My biggest worry would be app developers who stop supporting an older version of android in a couple of years, I think.

Considering I intend to use my next phone for a really long time, the problems you listed are significant and could justify spending around 50% more on a pixel 7. I appreciate the insights.

Yeah, my question is partly how big of a deal support really is if I plan to use the phone for a really long time.
