Indeed, no warranty, that's the only hitch. I'm hoping SquareTrade or Upside will offer coverage if I do go for it at some point. All I know is the Pixel debacle has soured me on Google, especially knowing now that the U11+ could've been the 2 XL. The U11+ is basically my dream phone as far as specs go. Problem is, since I currently use a Nexus 6P, skinned devices scare me. Granted, I came from an S3 to the 6P, and things have changed since then, but it's comforting knowing you deal directly with the OEM if you have any issues. I feel like with Sense UI, you get the perfect balance of software with features, and speed, without it feeling boring. Lol, it's a tough call.
