Google hasn't supported a built in SD card in their phones in a few years. They don't seem to like SD cards. The two years they owned Moto...no SD cards, after those years we have SD cards again. So definitely a Google decision. Even if Samsung built the next Pixel, Google wouldn't let them include SD card slots. Not sure why they don't include wireless charging, or what their issue with that might be.

Both phones are very nice, considering they're vanilla Android and give you fine build-quality and photo-taking capabilities. I'll wait until next year to see what type of Pixel XL vs Moto Z comes about for the 2018 lineup.
Must have for next year:
3,500 - 4K mAH sized battery
Dual rear camera with 16-21 MP OIS f/1.7 or better
Shatterproof and scratch proof display without needing a screen protector
SD card slot
IP68 rating
6GB+ DDR4 RAM
128GB internal storage
QC SD835 or better
Headphone jack and USB-C
5.5"-6" 1440p-4K OLED display
Make all of that happen and you got a winner.
Stylus...eh gimmicky, can't really see a need for it unless it's a work phone for worksheet and notepad usage.

LG does not have the quality control of Samsung hardware.

Did you just name the Note 9 with vanilla android start from Google. Omg, death to the competition...!
If it's removable with a screw in backside that has a gasket and copper pipe heatsink, then I'd say that's a decent start.

As much as you may think, I'd rather that device be the next Moto Z or Pixel. Samsungs, while nice and all can be a little less than what they're marketed as. Never was a fan of the note to begin with.

Never had wireless charging so, I won't miss that. However, I do enjoy plugging in my headphones, and not worrying about also keeping them charged. There will be a dongle offered to plug in to, so I'll go that way. Great thing is, being old school, I have a 160gb iPod that handles my music.

Name 1 man-made product that hasn't broken... You can't because anything man-made WILL break at some point or another. That said, some are just 'better' than others. Watch someone argue the definition of better lol.

I'm talking strictly on the hardware aspect. I'm not a huge Samsung fan by any means but on the hardware wise it's hard to slight Sammy.
I hear you. Samsung has stepped their game up last few years specs wise and build quality. The one thing I can't argue against Motorola are the radios they use in their devices. Cellular signal and WiFi is strong as can be and never had issues with call quality or download speed.

Leave it outside and let my dog pee on it, see how long it lasts lol jk. But for real, iron rusts just like all other metals.
Interesting
"Google’s Mario Queiroz said that Google wants to make all-screen phones. And having a 3.5mm headphone jack inside the phone doesn’t fit with that design strategy.
“The primary reason [for dropping the jack] is establishing a mechanical design path for the future,” Queiroz said. “We want the display to go closer and closer to the edge. Our team said, ‘if we’re going to make the shift, let’s make it sooner, rather than later.’ Last year may have been too early. Now there are more phones on the market.”
That’s also why Google launched the Pixel Buds, a direct AirPods rival, but also a product that’s meant to “solve” the problem it created by removing the aging audio port.
