Does Pixel work with upstream kernel? Does it use many blobs? Sony Xperia XA2 looks interesting, but not sure how usable it would be with upstream kernel and Mesa.

Pixel uses the same SoC as most other phones and thus has about same amount of blobs. The difference is that Google tends to update the OS faster and they're noticably more hardened in security sense.
