Comparison review

Although Google Nexus 6P and the Galaxy S7 edge were released only a few months apart, the Google Nexus 6P construction is heavier but also just a bit thinner. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge features a screen that is just as good as Google Nexus 6P's display, because although the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has a bit smaller display, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, it also counts with a just a bit greater display density.
Google Nexus 6P counts with a little faster processing unit than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has lesser RAM memory, it also counts with a higher number of cores (although slower). The Google Nexus 6P has a bit better camera than Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is worse for capturing pictures or video in low-light environments, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 video quality, the Google Nexus 6P also counts with a camera in the back with more megapixels and a bigger back-facing camera sensor.
The Google Nexus 6P counts with more storage to store more apps and games than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with more internal storage. The Galaxy S7 edge counts with just a little bit longer battery life than Google Nexus 6P, because it has 3600mAh of battery capacity.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Galaxy S7 edge, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Galaxy S7 edge. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Google Nexus 6P, else you can save a couple dollars and get the Galaxy S7 edge, resigning a couple specs and features.
