Thank you for your feedback! I've been using a Pixel 2 XL for literally 2 days and I already miss having a headphone jack. So, I'm swapping for somebody's note 8. I am concerned because the Pixel absolutely flies.
The note 8 is truly a great device my advise is to reset or turn the phone off once a week or use the maintenance part of the phone to see what's running in the back ground to kill those apps

I've had mine since Sept and it's been fantastic. I haven't really noticed any slow downs. I've got a warranty replacement phone that I got a few months ago due to a freezing / error moisture code (wasn't moist) . Overall though this and the original have been fantastic.

I went to try the s9 plus for a couple days and went back to my note 8.

No slow down in speeds what-so-ever. Someone mentioned their S9+ 845 chipset is much faster than the Note 8 835 chipset. I said to myself... really? Frankly... I highly doubt it because the Note 8 flys across the screen with no hesitation or lag. It's a very fast phone and stable too.

Yes it is. I use Nova and the Note 8 absolutely flies. For the first time on a phone I had to set Nova's animations to Relaxed so I can actually see the animations.

I have had zero issues with mine and I've had it almost 5 months. I use Nova, but only because I like to use a few of the options. I could be using stock Samsung experience and it would still fly. I typically don't have issues with my phone's lagging too much but the Note 8 has been absolutely amazing. It will be interesting to see what the Note 9 brings and if I think it's actually worth the upgrade.

They may get a 845 chipet and a 3700-4000 mAh battery, along with the S9's other features. That'd make it pretty compelling in my purse.

Got it on day one. Absolutely a work horse and smooth like butter. I reboot phone about every 2 weeks.

I also have Pixel 2 XL and it's going on sale this weekend. Love Note 8 10x more.

Only phone replacing note 8 is note 9.
