Back in September, the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL received the Android 11 updates, and have received a security update earlier this week as well. But now, it seems its patch cycles are coming to an end with the last update arriving in December 2020.
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have officially reached the end of its three years’ worth of Android version update and security update as of 5th October 2020. Although, the company has promised another update this December, which will be the final patch that will be received by the flagship launches from 2017. Similar to the original Pixel, the Pixel 2 series will also skip the update in November but will receive the December patch, which will include the November update as well.

The most recent update on the device was the security patch, which brought in the October Security patch and also addressed other issues like boot locks, call notification being disabled, auto rotate icon in the wrong orientation, and swipe gestures not responding. The Pixel 2 series was launched back in 2017, with the smaller variant being made by HTC, while the larger version was made by LG.
Under the hood, both variants were powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC along with 4GB of RAM and either 64 or 128GB of internal storage. The Google Pixel 2 devices were known for their photographic prowess, and “ushered in a new era for computational photography,” as per 9to5Google. These were flagship grade handsets and had lived up to their expectations.
