Why not get the old Pixel XL? It's still a great phone.

It will only get software updates for another year and security updates for 2 more years, it's 1/3 of the way through it's effective lifespan. The supported lifetimes are far too short when you buy in release day, let alone a year later.

You should be able to manually update it to newer android versions after the official updates end since it has treble. The kernel as of now is still stuck on 3.18. Unless the blob makers update to 4.4, that will be the limiting factor regarding security updates.

Bezels make a phone easier to use. It's incredibly awkward trying to reach the space bar with my thumb on a phone without bezels.
