Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 38745, member: 636"] Google released Android 16 beta software for developers after its I/O event. The final version will bring the new Material 3 Expressive design to users later this fall. When it launches, Most Pixel phones from the Pixel 6 series forward will run the new system. The list covers all recent models, including Pixel 6, 7, 8, and 9, and their variations, along with Pixel Tablet and Fold devices. Older Pixel 5 phones will miss out because their hardware cannot handle the new features. Pixel 6 owners might not see every AI feature due to processor limits, but will still enjoy visual changes like the updated notification shade. Google promised six years of updates for Pixel 8 and newer models, similar to Apple. The company makes its Tensor chips that power these phones. Time will tell if these processors can truly support updates five years into the future. [/QUOTE]
