Have a Pixel 2 XL for 18 months now. Never had any issues or problems & I practically live on it. Google has said it will receive updates for 3 years.
It has the latest operating system.
So my next will probably be a Pixel 5.
Have a Pixel 2XL for 7 months now. not a mark on it. Have never used a screen protector on a phone for 10 years.
I practically live on my phone everyday.
Do use a case with a screen bumper edge.
