Comparison review

Galaxy S6 Edge is slightly better than Google Pixel, having a score of 85.7 against 80.2. Galaxy S6 Edge is an older cellphone than the Google Pixel, but Samsung made it a little lighter and thinner. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge counts with an incredibly better looking screen than Google Pixel, because it has a better resolution of 2560 x 1440px, a greater display pixels density and a little larger display.

Galaxy S6 Edge counts with a quite superior performance than Google Pixel, because although it has 1 GB lesser RAM memory, it also counts with a 64 bits processor, a larger number of cores (although they are slower) and a GPU. The Google Pixel captures much clearer photos and videos than Galaxy S6 Edge, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not so good for low light photos and videos, a lower 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and a back facing camera with much less MP resolution, it also counts with a larger sensor providing a higher image quality.

Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge feature quite similar memory capacity to store more games and applications, both of them have exactly the same internal memory. Google Pixel counts with a bit better battery life than Galaxy S6 Edge, because it has 2770mAh of battery capacity.

Although Galaxy S6 Edge is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Google Pixel. If you prefer to save a few dollars, you can get the Google Pixel, and give up a few specs and features, but you will get the most with your money.
