Google has updated their site to clarify when their Pixel and Nexus devices will stop receiving updates and support. Those of you who bought the Pixel or Pixel XL should know that guaranteed Android updates will end October 2018, while October 2019 will see the end of guaranteed security updates. Support for these devices will also terminate in October 2019. You may visit the support page for details on the Nexus.
Based on the info Google listed on its support page, it's staying true to its word. The Pixel and the Pixel XL, which were released in 2016, will get the latest Android updates until October 2018. They'll get security updates until October 2019, the same month Google will stop providing customer service for them. Mountain View will also stop supporting the Huawei-made Nexus 6P and the LG-made 5X in September 2018, a year after they stop getting new OS updates. If you still own a Nexus 6 or a 9, you'll only get security updates until October this year -- after that, you can't call or chat with Google anymore in case you encounter issues with your device.
