Comparison review
Google Nexus 6P has a score of 80.3, which is slightly better than Google Pixel's 80.2 overall score. Even though the Google Nexus 6P is older and somewhat heavier than Google Pixel, it's body is still thinner. The Google Nexus 6P features a bit sharper display than Google Pixel, because it has a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560, a quite better pixel quantity per inch in the screen and a quite bigger display.
Google Nexus 6P features as much storage to install applications and games as Google Pixel, both have equal 128 GB internal memory capacity. The Google Nexus 6P counts with a bit better hardware performance than Google Pixel, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with more CPU cores.
Google Nexus 6P has a slightly better camera than Google Pixel. Both have the same (4K) video quality, the same 30 frames per second video frame rate, a same size aperture, the same back-facing camera sensor size and a back camera with a 12.3 mega-pixels resolution. Google Nexus 6P features greater battery duration than Google Pixel, because it has 3450mAh of battery capacity.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Google Pixel. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy Google Nexus 6P, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the Google Pixel, resigning a couple specifications.
