Comparison review
Google Nexus 6 has an overall score of 81.1, which is a little bit better than the Google Pixel 3's score of 80. Although it's the best in this review, Google Nexus 6 is an extremely older, much thicker and somewhat heavier phone than Google Pixel 3. The Google Nexus 6 features a slightly better screen than Google Pixel 3, because it has a little larger display, a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440px and a just a little higher display density.
The Google Nexus 6's memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos is very similar to the Google Pixel 3 one, they have the same 64 GB internal storage capacity. The Google Nexus 6 has a little faster processing unit than Google Pixel 3, because although it has less cores and 1 GB less RAM memory, it also counts with a graphics processor.
Google Nexus 6 has just a little better battery duration than Google Pixel 3, because it has 3220mAh of battery capacity. The Google Pixel 3 takes slightly better photos and videos than Google Nexus 6, because although it has a lower resolution back facing camera and a worse 3840x2160 video quality, it also counts with a larger camera aperture for better low light images and video.
Although Google Nexus 6 is a better device, it costs a lot more than Google Pixel 3, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Google Pixel 3. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the Google Pixel 3, letting go a couple features, but you will get the most out of your money.
