Is it safe to update an unlocked G710VM to android pie?

Android pie is available for me on Verizon. Is it worth upgrading or should I just stay on oreo? Thanks if anyone replies.

Bootloader Unlock & Root guide for 2019?

I am using a go11c global Pixel XL are there any guides that people can link within the thread that are relevant today I'm using the latest build for android 10 on stock rom build QP1A.19.1005.007.A1.
If possible i'd like to load a android 10 custom rom that way I can use modded gcam that is specifically made for android 10 only

The older methods still work the layout/exact labelling/orgaization of various options is just in slightly different places. The 9.0 guide is 95% accurate for android 10

Please need help with Verizon locked bootloader on Android 10
Can you please tell me how to unlock this bootloader when keep this phone going till the 4A comes out?

Update to latest security patch without upgrading to Android 10

I am wanting to get the latest security updates for the Pixel 3 XL but do not want to upgrade to Android 10 (for the time being).
I saw the latest update for Android Pie for 3 XL was August 2019.
Is there a way to get the current security update without being forced to upgrade to Android 10?

No, the latest updates are all on 10. Is there a reason you haven't taken any 10 updates? If your holding out for a Verizon bootloader unlock, don't hold your breath. No offense to Fern and whoever else is working on it, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I really like having the ability to swap the navigation buttons. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/android-10-swap-navigation-bar-menu-t3966439).
Plus...I've read a good few posts where people aren't happy with battery life and prefer going back to Pie.

Android 8.1 to 9

I have a Samsung J2 SM-S260DL still stuck on Android 8.1. Some of the apps I use are now only compatible with Android 9 +. Does Samsung automatically update the phone's Android ---because I contacted Tracfone and they told me it's up to the phone manufacturer. I tried the phone's software update, but don't get the 9 update.

What firmware version is currently on your device? You will find the info in the settings about the phone.

Android 8.1.0_0008
Build MTAJQ.S260DLUDU2ASE4
Kernel 3.18.14-16126611

I don't think Samsung after 4 years of releasing this phone has the motivation to improve Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition) to version 9. Enjoy what you have.
p.s.
What compels you to look for android 9?

B/c a few of the apps I use are now only compatible with android 9+. I've only had the phone a couple of years--I got it from QVC. They tend to sell phones already released for cheap. I got the Samsung J2, 1500 data, 1500 texts, 1500 minutes with 1 year of service for 59.99 --on 6 payments of like 10 bucks. Phone works great. Is in excellent condition---but just need Android 9 b/c some of the app updates need newer versions of android
