Well seeing as you can get two new phones in those 5 years and still pay less than a single iPhone...
Which ones get all of their updates on time, don't cost just as much, and aren't hobbled in the US?

I had a Pixel XL and now have a Pixel XL 2; both get monthly security patches (including the XL, although it isn't hooked up to any carrier), generally on the 5th of each month.

These phones seem like really good deals... too good to be true? I'm in the market for a cheap phone coming from a moto E 1st gen and these seem like promising options.
I own a Xiaomi Note 4. It's a fantastic device for the price and has given me no trouble at all.

The Pixel 2 XL seems like a nice phone, apart from the screen manufacturing defect that affects a large percentage of them. It appears that it got worse in phones manufactured in December. I can't find any news about whether things have improved in more recently manufactured phones. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/1/15/16889854/p...
