Man this thread definitely isn't what it was

20 days between posts, but I'll take it.
So I recently got the Oreo update on my phone, a Galaxy S7 Edge, and needless to say it's rendered it almost unusable. Battery life is maybe a couple hours, fast charging isn't working anymore, and general performance just nosedived. I'm pretty bummed because it was still kicking perfectly before the update.
Wondering if anybody has the Pixel 2 XL, and your experience with it. If I'm upgrading, I'm looking at either the 2 XL, or the S9 plus, as I tend to keep phones for a couple years at least. The S9+ is a beautiful phone, but I've rocked Samsung since the S3, so I'm open to switching it up.
