It's about that time again, another Pixel release is coming soon.
Currently rocking my Pixel 2XL and loving it so far, my wife has the Pixel 3a XL which is running very comparably as well.
Check out this latest video of the 4a and Pixel 5

Pixel 3xl owner. Very happy with it. If there's a 4a with 128gb version I'll jump ship immediately.
I've had all the Pixels in the XL versions but most recently the S20+. That wore off quick and I was ready to get back to a Pixel. I got tired of waiting for the 4a and bought a 3a XL on Amazon. I am happy to be back. I'll probably upgrade if Google ever releases anything good. It's been a weird year in so many ways.

Wondering since you can unlock pixel boot loader from Verizon. Can you adb flash this to googles version and make this identical to the phone you'd buy directly from google and get updates from them. Wondering this because pixel xl is available at my bestbuy. still debating on xl or regular. Right now I have an iPhone 7 256gb.. by I feel as if 32gb is plenty. Especially with the pictures being unlimited.
I got a Verizon Pixel and use Koodo in Canada with it.Will it still update the latest software when released?
Yes, the VZW Pixel still gets the updates on the same track as the ones sold by Google.
I have ordered Verizon model of Kinda blue Pixel 2 from google.com and it arrived yesterday. Upon unboxing it, I have noticed that it has September patch(OPD3.170816.012) on it. I thought it would have something fresher than that. Could it be that Google still ships an older stock or most of Verizon model phones are on September OS?

They may all be on the September patch when shipped.
Thankfully each phone comes with an "update" feature.

Question if a friend of mine has the pixel 2 xl but was bought from CEX website and is a Verizon edition even tho he's on T-Mobile(sim included), would he be able to try contacting Google for a Google unlockable edition or would they know it's Verizon edition still?
So I know that carrier versions of the Pixels have locked bootloaders. That doesn't really bother me anymore as i haven't rooted my phone in awhile.
However, I remember that before (Pixel 2 3 4 5 days) if you had a Pixel from the carrier vs a Unlocked one directly from google. After Google released an update (mainly an OS update) it would first have to be approved by the carrier somtimes significantly delaying the update vs people who had one straight from google got the updates right away. Is this still the case or do all pixels get the update when google releases it.
Thinking of doing the ATT trade in promo to get the Pixel 7 pro for free but delayed updates would turn me off the offer.

I have had the T-Mobile variant of the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and now the 7 Pro and all of my updates have come from directly from Google.
It may vary with other carriers.

Probably. In January the VZW was dropped wit the Google and in Feb it was the T-Mobile that dropped at the same time
Pixel 7 Pro on AT&T here. I haven't noticed any delays in Android updates. They seem to be coming straight from Google.
