Pixel 3 XL Updates

[Danielle2]

Hi,

I'm thinking off purchasing a pixel 3 XL from O2, one of my concerns is with updates. The Google security patches are released each month usually the first Monday of the month.

Can anyone confirm, does the pixel 3 xl receive the update from google or are they modified by O2 then sent to pixel handsets?

If they are modified by O2, generally how quick are they at sending out the monthly patches?

Thanks

All Pixel updates come directly from Google.

@Danielle2  Shop around before buying from O2, if you have a sim only contract and you're just buying the phone. Chances are you'll find it cheaper elsewhere.

Brilliant that's what I was hoping was the case.

Thanks for the advice. O2 are seller the phone on contract this month with £400 off, far more discount than what Google are offering.

Great deal there.
