Pixel and I have decided on the Pixel 2 XL
No real issues, more annoyances with it more than anything. Just not for me.

Fair enough. Some like vanilla android some find it boring (I'm the latter)
still can't decide, s8 or s8+
S8 feels more comfortable but not night and day difference
Whereas S8+ is only marginally more expensive but feel like it has a lot more display real estate and battery tests on youtube suggest it has approx 10% more juice
Has anyone here bought the S8 and wished they go the S8+? or other way around? If so, why?

S8+ is a Cracking phone but choose again I'd go for the normal s8, for the reasons listed above.
Productivity wise the size is great and the screen is just beautiful.
I can't decide between an S8+ or Note 8
Has anyone bought an 8+ and wished they bought the Note 8 instead ?
I Be upgrading from my S7 edge

I went for the S8, made the right choice i think. Just didn't feel like i needed the extra size and not that the plus is difficult to handle but the 8 is easier.

I bought the s8 as I couldn't justify the price for an 8+ (bought on release) wish I had waited and got the 8+ as I find the 8 a tad small.
Decided to go with the S8. Tried them both again at CPW and the S8 just feels exactly right in the hand whereas I think the extra width of the S8+ makes it feel slightly uncomfortable for me.
Placed an order for unlocked s8 from GiffGaff for 579 +10 goody bag which I'll cancel straight after receiving. There was cheaper alternatives but all grey imports it looks like and don't really want that
Now as for cases...the only kind of case I'd want for it is something which covers the frame of the phone (top, sides, back). I'm thinking one of the following but wondering if any of you have tried and can give feedback?

I've had the S8 since launch date, it's a nice phone. Good size so fits in ones pocket easily and I have no trouble when I want to use it for Youtube or Netflix etc. The screen is sublime. Battery life is about as bad as the S7e I upgraded from, so no change there.
Only problem I've found is the glass on the front and back seems to be made out of cheese. Front has some nasty scratches in it already, and the back smashed after falling 6 inches onto the floor.

I hope you went through TCB to get an extra 45 quid off.
Out of those case options, I'd go with the Spigen or samsung original clear (plastic) or the black silicon. That oblig one is fugly as hell
check out flossy carter on youtube... several videos covering many cases
There no way i could ever fit a mobile phone in the front pocket of my jeans
Why not? are you a "small person" or do you wear stupidly tight jeans?

Woohoo...Bixby update lets you finally officially disable the button through the settings
Surely remapping officially is only a short way away.
Unless you can add restrictions to when it's activated I wouldn't want to use it, for example as a camera button it would be useful but only within the camera app. (not to launch the camera!).
