I’m hoping Samsung would be pushed to top this when they’re releasing the S24 series and some of the older devices will also get upgraded to a longer software upgrade period. I just upgraded to a Fold5 after using Asus ROG Phone II for four years and messing with custom ROMs (the ROG Phone II just have one year of OS updates) just to stay up to date in regards to security and software updates is not as fun as it was a dozen years ago.
7 years of updates is incredible. A good step towards actual, meaningful sustainability.
The best thing is that it’ll push other Manufacturers to do 7 years as well.
