I'm currently using a Pixel 4, with my plan being to skip the Pixel 5 and 6 and go straight to the Pixel 7.
However, I understand that the Pixel 4 will be not be fully supported for much longer.

Is it likely that the Pixel 4 will be fully supported until the release of the Pixel 7, or should I bite the bullet and upgrade to a Pixel 6 now?

    While future device support is speculative by definition, in the past porting GrapheneOS to a new device took a couple of months at least. And since Pixel 7 is coming out around October, that means I would expect GrapheneOS to come to it around December. (Just an estimate, could be sooner or later)

    Pixel 4 is expected to lose support around October. So that means there would be an overlap of a couple of months where you wouldn't have full security coverage.

    GrapheneOS has been offering extended releases a year after the end of life support, but note that these do not cover all the security patches (notably the firmware).

    So the decision is up to you. Are you okay using a device without full security for a few months? If so perhaps wait for the 7. If that is unacceptable then you should get the 6 or 6a.

    Pixel 4 is expected to lose support around October.

    So it means I will have to sell my loved Pixel 4a on October? 😭

      The Pixel 4a has support longer than the Pixel 4 (until 31.08.2023). So you should be fine, as the Pixel 7 is announced to be released this year.

      FU6QydnIELkx typically the next phone is released at the same time as the next Android release. So expect your 4 to be supported until the 7. However unlike the 6a which could have GOS ported within days if not 24 hours due to hardware being similar to the 6/6Pro, the 7 could be a week to several. If you want the 7 I'd wait for the 7. You 'may' end up on a Extended Support release but not for long.

        I'm using a Pixel 4, that's not on extended support yet is it?
