I don't believe they support the 3a. I'm really vintage.
Any idea how long support will last for the 8? I feel a little burned by the lack of support for the 3a, though I understand that a) 6 years for a phone is a good run in this wasteful world, and b) wifi calling on the 3a hasn't been dropped by choice, but is actually a complicated issue that small #s of devs are still working on.

Great link, thank you. I'm so used to desperately trying to make this old 3a work that I didn't realize they'd listed out support expectations for more recent models.
I believe the Pixel 9a is also available. You might snag that one instead of an 8a just to give yourself another year of support.
