I for one just don't like the Samsung overlay interface. And my Pixel 2 - not XL, hasn't slowed down a bit since I got it.

I do understand the appeal for the note though.

For me I've started a whole YouTube channel editing and filming videos all on my note 8. I've given up my MacBook pro to my brother and have exclusively used it for a year. Nothing compares to the suite of features Samsung has and I really love the design of their latest UI. It's really Microsoft esque but if done right.

I use Samsung's DeX destop environment with a cheap USB c dongle that makes my note 8 a giant 24" Chromebook PC when I'm at my desk. It's really a desktop killer for me.
