Even though Google Pixel is older and somewhat thicker than Samsung Galaxy A6, it's design is still lighter.

The Google Pixel has a bit more storage for applications and games than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has no slot for an external memory card, it also counts with 128 GB internal memory capacity.
The Galaxy A6 features a bit longer battery lifetime than Google Pixel, because it has an 8% more battery size. The Google Pixel features just a bit better camera than Galaxy A6, because although it has a back-facing camera with way less megapixels resolution and a smaller diafragm aperture which is worse for low-light photos and video, it also counts with a bigger sensor taking higher quality videos and pictures and a much higher (4K) video definition.
Although Google Pixel is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Galaxy A6. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Google Pixel, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Galaxy A6, letting go a couple specifications.
