Eh. I do like stock Android, but modern Samsung devices are much better bloat-wise than they used to. What I liked about the Nexus line, the Pixel line took away, though. The affordability.
The Nexus line didn't have SD slots as far as I can remember. At least my N4 didn't. Which is a shame. The S8 does have one.
It doesn't really bother me too much, even though it is a shame, given how they are THE stock Android devices out there, and the reference models, I suppose. A microSD slot can greatly increase the lifespan of a smartphone. I know 16GB on my Nexus 4 was too little. My S2 also had 16GB, but a 32GB micro SD made it so much better. The Nexus line was significantly cheaper than the Pixel one, though. That's what bothers me, really.
