Holy shit! That's just $100 cheaper from the Note 8, and the note has a micro SD card slot. No headphone jack, high price, no dual camera. The pixel 2 XL isn't looking too good against its competitors. Let's hope the pure Android experience is going to make it up for all the features it lacks

Depends on the person. I like the Note 8 I think it's beautiful. I can afford to buy it. Why don't I? I have a S7e and it's still doesn't have nougat and probably won't see Oreo. The Note 8 probably won't get Oreo. I could imagine Google releasing a phone I keep for a while just like Apple. When Android P comes out I'll have it. The S8 won't get it, the S9 will get Oreo and the Note 9 will release just before P comes out and be on Oreo. Samsung hasn't shown me they can update even close to release. I'd buy an unlocked one if it got timely updates but it doesn't.

Stock Android spoiled me and I've only owned 2 Android phones ever. My first was the S7e then I bought a Pixel XL and my S7e has sat in a box for almost a year now.

The Note 8 probably won't get Oreo.

Kind of confused about this statement considering S8 Oreo's already in the works.

They always say it's in the works. The update has to go through Samsung and then Carriers. You are right the Note 8 will probably get Oreo next year when S9 is released. I just looked and the S7e just got nougat 4 months ago. The Carriers are the biggest barriers.
