Why Pixel 2 won't be impressive.

It's only a few weeks till pixel 2 launch and there's already a lots of leaks which tells pretty much everything about phone's hardware. And it doesn't look impressive at all ( as compared to iPhone 8's hardware )

We'll see better camera, OIS maybe, or dual cameras however it's very unlikely it will have 4k 60fps. So nothing new to get excited.

The pixel 2 will use Snapdragon 835 chipset from Qualcomm which is pretty good but really weak ( 2 times ) in front of Apple's A11 bionic chip. Sadly Google doesn't make their own CPUs and Qualcomm doesn't have anything faster to offer untill a long time.

It will have the same ufs 2.1 storage as Galaxy S8 which is very slow as compared to Apple's nVMe based storage. Just give up on UFS already sigh.

It will improve on many design flaws that original pixel had, but there's nothing it will offer that Galaxy S8 doesn't ( talking about hardware purely ). And software isn't unique to pixel phones, eventually everything that pixel offers in it's software comes to all other phones almost nothing is unique to pixel's software (except unlimited photos storage), it's just an Android.
