The impact on you: Even though the Nexus 6’s end is nigh, the phone may not need to head straight to the recycling bin. They often updated devices beyond the end date, as evidenced by my 2013 Nexus 7. Which still gets monthly security updates and runs the latest build of Marshmallow. It could run out of luck with Android Nougat. But there’s some precedent for a longer lease on life if you just can’t part yet with your Nexus 6.
