8 Best Galaxy Note 8 Alternatives

Google Pixel XL

If the screen isn't the most important factor in your purchase decision, another great alternative to the Galaxy Note 8 is Google's Pixel XL from late last year. The phone doesn't have the style we're seeing in 2017-18 with small bezels. It's actually quite the opposite with large iPhone-style bezels above and below the screen. 

However, Google's Pixel XL is a solid phone loved by millions. You'll still enjoy a big 5.5-inch Quad-HD display, one of the highest rated cameras on the market, and a smooth experience with stock Android. Additionally, the Pixel XL runs Android 8.01 Oreo, one of only a few phones with Google's most recent software update. It'll be first to Android P in March or April, too. 

The Pixel XL isn't waterproof, there's no wireless charging, and you can't add a microSD card either. That said, there's a model with 128GB of storage and it's right from Google, the creator of Android. This ensures one of the best possible experiences around, which is why so many love the Pixel and Pixel XL.
