If I mainly want a phone for the camera, is there a clear answer on which to choose?

The Pixel 2 is better for photography from everything I've read and samples posted but that seems to be mainly due to the software. Given that the S9 can run GCAM (for which the ports should only improve from this point) and that it has better camera hardware and better hardware overall does that negate the Pixel 2's advantage? And possibly give you a best of both worlds choice? Or is that wishful thinking?

Look for samples a GCAM running on other devices. They seem to get better IQ than their native cams but not quite as good as the actual Pixel.
