The Pixel 6 might get Android 16 after all
The Pixel 6 series may get Android 16 in 2025, despite official support ending in October 2024. This is suggested by its inclusion in the developer preview.

An intermediary milestone to watch out for would be those devices proceeding to the Android 16 Beta in January.
