Microsoft Surface Duo counts with a bit better performance than Google Nexus 6P, and although they both have a Octa-Core CPU, the Microsoft Surface Duo also has more RAM.
The Google Nexus 6P features just a bit better looking screen than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has a really smaller screen and a little worse resolution of 1440 x 2560, it also counts with more pixels per display inch. Google Nexus 6P features a superior camera than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has lower 30 frames per second video frame rate, and they both have the same diafragm aperture and the same video quality, the Google Nexus 6P also counts with a back facing camera with more megapixels.
Microsoft Surface Duo and Google Nexus 6P have extremely similar memory capacity for applications and games, both of them have the same internal storage capacity. The Microsoft Surface Duo counts with a bit superior battery duration than Google Nexus 6P, because it has a 3577mAh battery capacity.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it costs more money than Microsoft Surface Duo, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Microsoft Surface Duo. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy the Google Nexus 6P, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the Microsoft Surface Duo, resigning a couple specs and features.
