Google promises OS and security updates for the Pixel 8a for 7 years from when it first went on sale on the Google Store in the US, in May 2024. That points to updates until about May 2031. Google does not publish a date for each device, so treat this as an estimate.
For the Pixel 8a, that promise covers Android OS updates, security updates and Pixel Drops. Pixel 8 and later phones get seven years of updates; the Pixel 6, Pixel 7 and Pixel Fold families get five. The Pixel 8a’s seven-year period started when it first became available on the Google Store in the US, in May 2024.
