   The 9a is supported until April 2032, which is when it drops off Google's   
   support.   
      
   In the past, have GOS supported 'harm reduction' releases for about a year   
   or so after the EOL date - they are based on the last released Google OS (so   
   are missing security patches for more recent vulnerabilities) but still have   
   GOS' own security improvements.  They're mostly intended as an offramp to a   
   newer phone that's in support, but are still useful if you're using the   
   phone for some secondary purpose.   
      
   I'm not sure if they're going to do that for phones that are 7 years old at   
   that point, as likely fewer of them will still be in circulation.
