Google drops supports for Google services for Android 2.3.7 and lower
As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our users safe, Google will no longer allow sign-in on Android devices that run Android 2.3.7 or lower starting September 27, 2021. If you sign into your device after September 27, you may get username or password errors when you try to use Google products and services like Gmail, YouTube, and Maps.
Android 2.3.7 was released on 21 September, 2011. That's ten years of support. I think that's fair.
