Comparison review
The Google Nexus 6 has a general score of 81.1, which is a bit better than the Huawei Mate 9 Pro's 78.7 global score. These phones work with Android OS (Operating System), but the Google Nexus 6 has the previous 5.1 version while Huawei Mate 9 Pro has Android 8.0 Oreo. Although it's the best cellphone we compare here, the Google Nexus 6 body is notably older, a bit heavier and way thicker than the Huawei Mate 9 Pro.
Google Nexus 6 features just a bit better performance than Huawei Mate 9 Pro, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory and 4 less cores (but faster), it also counts with a graphics co-processor. Google Nexus 6 features a bit more vivid display than Huawei Mate 9 Pro, because although it has a just a little lower display pixels density, and they both have the same exact resolution of 2560 x 1440px, the Google Nexus 6 also counts with a quite larger display.
Huawei Mate 9 Pro features a way bigger storage capacity to install applications and games than Google Nexus 6, because it has more internal storage capacity. The Huawei Mate 9 Pro counts with better battery lifetime than Google Nexus 6, because it has a 24 percent larger battery size. The Huawei Mate 9 Pro counts with a bit better camera than Google Nexus 6, although it has a lower 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, a worse 12 MP resolution back-facing camera and a smaller aperture which is not favorable for low light captures.
Although Google Nexus 6 is a better device, it costs more than the Huawei Mate 9 Pro, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Huawei Mate 9 Pro. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the Google Nexus 6, else you can save a couple dollars and get the Huawei Mate 9 Pro, resigning some features and specs.
