Comparison review
The Google Nexus 6P is a bit better than the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, having a general score of 80.3 against 79.3. Despite being the best in this review, we must note that it is also just a bit thicker and somewhat heavier. Galaxy S6 edge+ counts with a slightly better looking screen than Google Nexus 6P. They have the same amount of pixels in each screen inch, a screen with the same size and the same 2560 x 1440 resolution.
The Google Nexus 6P features a little better performance than Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, because although it has 1 GB less RAM memory, it also counts with 7 more processing cores (but slower). Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ has a bit better camera than Google Nexus 6P, because although it has a tinier back camera sensor which gives a worse image and video quality, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same video definition, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ also counts with a larger aperture to take better low light photos and videos and a way more mega-pixels back-facing camera.
Google Nexus 6P has a lot bigger storage for applications and games than Galaxy S6 edge+, because it has 128 GB internal storage. Google Nexus 6P has a little longer battery duration than Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, because it has a 3450mAh battery size against 3000mAh.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the Google Nexus 6P, else you can save some dollars and get the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, letting go some features and specs.
