Comparison review

Huawei Mate 10 features a slightly better screen than Google Pixel XL, because although it has a little bit inferior amount of pixels per inch in the screen, and they both have the same resolution of 1440 x 2560px, the Huawei Mate 10 also counts with a little bigger screen.

The Huawei Mate 10 counts with a little better processing power than Google Pixel XL, and although they both have the same RAM amount, the Huawei Mate 10 also has a larger number of cores (and also faster).
Huawei Mate 10 counts with a bit superior battery life than Google Pixel XL, because it has a 4000mAh battery size against 3450mAh. The Google Pixel XL captures a bit better pictures and videos than Huawei Mate 10, because although it has a tinier camera aperture, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same video definition, the Google Pixel XL also counts with a back-facing camera with a better resolution and a lot bigger camera sensor taking much better quality photos.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Huawei Mate 10, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Huawei Mate 10. If you want to save some money, you can buy Huawei Mate 10, and give up a couple features and specs, but you will get the most with your budget.
