Re: Nexit?
... the whole reason for the Nexus line was to shame OEMs into sorting out their software.
Methinks a major aim with the Nexus line was to ensure that there would be at least some devices out in the wild running the latest Android versions, despite most OEMs being deplorably slow at releasing updates and in many cases never doing so.
I've seen nothing to suggest that Pixel devices will get updates in any less timely a fashion than Nexus ones.
