It's very nice and the migration tools have come a long long way. It was surprisingly easy to basically re-create much the same experience I had. Not quite everything came across, sadly, and I had to spend an hour re-creating my OTP setup for a number of websites.

Running Android 14 which has many many *many* small differences from Android 9. Main one is that the system Back button works a little differently. It would seem Google changed how this worked some way back and apps now tend to have their own Back buttons. Not a fan.

I got two, maybe three major OS upgrades. But this was at a time when manufacturers normally only supported phones for about 3 years, tops. And it wasn't a new model at the time.

Google has been saying Pixel 7s and 8s will be supported for at least 5 years, perhaps longer. They were under pressure to stop the mobile phone churn as it creates to much e-waste and the best way is to lead by example.
