Google Pixel 3 has a global score of 80, which is just a bit better than Galaxy A6's 75.8 score. The Google Pixel 3 body is a little thicker but just a little lighter than Galaxy A6, and they were only released with a few months difference. Google Pixel 3 features a bit more powerful processor than Galaxy A6, and although they both have 8 processing cores, the Google Pixel 3 also has more RAM.
Google Pixel 3 counts with a sharper screen than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a greater display density and a way higher resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels. The Galaxy A6 counts with a way bigger storage for applications, games, photos and videos than Google Pixel 3, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with an external memory slot that allows up to 400 GB.
The Google Pixel 3 takes clearer pictures and videos than Galaxy A6, because although it has a smaller aperture and a back camera with a much lower resolution, it also counts with a lot better video definition and a larger sensor providing a better image quality. Galaxy A6 features a little better battery lifetime than Google Pixel 3, because it has a 3000mAh battery capacity.
Although Google Pixel 3 is a better device, it is way more expensive than Samsung Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Samsung Galaxy A6. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy Google Pixel 3, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the Samsung Galaxy A6, giving up a couple specs and features.
