Comparison review
The Google Nexus 6P is a bit better than Google Pixel, getting a score of 80.3 against 80.2. Despite of the fact Google Nexus 6P is older and somewhat heavier than the Google Pixel, it's design is still thinner. Google Nexus 6P counts with just a bit better performance than Google Pixel, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a larger number of cores (although slower).
The Google Nexus 6P counts with a little sharper screen than Google Pixel, because it has a little bit bigger screen, a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560px and a little bit better amount of pixels in each inch of screen. The Google Nexus 6P takes slightly better photographs and videos than Google Pixel. Both of them have the same video definition, the same diafragm aperture, the same video frame rate, the same resolution back facing camera and a 0.43 inches back-facing camera sensor.
The Google Pixel's storage capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos is very similar to Google Nexus 6P's one, both have equal internal memory capacity. Google Nexus 6P has better battery life than Google Pixel, because it has 3450mAh of battery capacity.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Google Pixel. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy Google Nexus 6P, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the Google Pixel, resigning a couple specs and features.
