Summarize This Article:

Early this month, Google rolled out Android 16 to compatible Pixel phones. While many Android OEMs are already testing the new OS on their devices, none of them have officially confirmed the list of devices eligible for the next major Android upgrade.

The entry-level Wish 4 is eligible for two upgrades, while the mid-range and other premium phones are eligible for three major upgrades and five years of security updates.
