Google’s software support page lists the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro as eligible for OS upgrades until October 2024. Android 15 will officially release sometime in October this year, confirming it to be the last major switch.

Pixel 6a, on the other hand, is eligible for upgrades until July 2025. Meanwhile, Android 16 is unlikely to be rolled out for the affordable model of the Pixel 6 series, due to v16’s tentative release in October 2025.

Pixel 5a will get new updates until August 2024, however, Google unlisted it from Android 15’s eligibility. This suggests that the Pixel 6a will get updates until July next year, but Android 15 is the last major OS upgrade.

Well, you don’t need to be disappointed as your Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will continue to receive new security updates and probably feature drops until October 2026. Google may not offer Android 16, but new features may likely come.
