The Pixel XL 2 will feature model no. G011C. The listing also confirms that LG is indeed making it. Apart from the model number and manufacturer confirmation, there's nothing much else.

Pixel and Pixel XL users on Verizon are reportedly receiving a new update with build OPR3.170623.007 with 2017-09-01 Security Patch. Non-Verizon users are also getting the latest Security update, so that means it's clearly a wider rollout going on.

Few users are getting "Android 7.1.2" titled update, which is actually is Android 8.0 Oreo with the September security patches.

Along with the Duo Pixels, Nexuses are also getting the September security patch. We've seen the update coming to the Nexus 6P.
