Comparison review
The Google Pixel has an overall score of 80.2, which is a bit better than Samsung Galaxy S7's score of 79.5. Google Pixel's design is a little bit thicker but a bit lighter than Samsung Galaxy S7, and both of them were released only a couple of months apart. The Galaxy S7 features a bit faster processing unit than Google Pixel. Both have the same RAM memory amount and a Quad-Core processor.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 has a better looking screen than Google Pixel, because it has a better screen density, a bit bigger screen and a better resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. Google Pixel features a greater storage capacity to store more games and applications than Samsung Galaxy S7, because although it has no external SD slot, it also counts with more internal memory.
Galaxy S7 features a camera that's just as good as Google Pixel's camera, because although the Galaxy S7 has a back facing camera with lesser mega-pixels resolution, a tinier back camera sensor which provides a lower image and video quality and a worse 3840x2160 video definition, it also counts with a bigger aperture to take better captures and video in low-light environments.
Samsung Galaxy S7 features just a little bit longer battery life than Google Pixel, because it has a 3000mAh battery size instead of 2770mAh.
Although Google Pixel is a better device, it is way more expensive than Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Galaxy S7. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy Google Pixel, else you can save some money and get the Galaxy S7, resigning some features and specs.
