8th generation Pixels provide a minimum guarantee of 7 years of support from launch instead of the previous 5 year minimum guarantee. 8th generation Pixels also bring support for the incredibly powerful hardware memory tagging - security feature as part of moving to new ARMv9 CPU cores. GrapheneOS has - experimental support for hardware memory tagging in hardened_malloc available - as a user-facing option in the advanced security settings and is quickly - moving towards having it enabled by default. It will be used more extensively - in the future and is a game changer for protecting against exploitation.
