Is the android experience the same on all the pixel phones?

[Android Central Question]

Hi guys

I want to buy a Pixel phone solely for the ultimate android experience, the luxury of having android exactly how google believes it should be and to get all the updates first. But I can't afford the high-end pixels and thinking of getting the Pixel 4a wheen it's out.

This brings me to my question: Is the android experience the same on all pixel phones?

If I get the Pixel 3a, will I get all the software benefits that the Pixel 4Xl gets?

Is there a specific software benefit you're curious about?
