HTC 10 counts with a little better performance than Google Pixel XL. Both of them have the same number of cores and the same RAM memory amount.
The HTC 10 features just a bit better camera than Google Pixel XL, because although it has a back-facing camera with a lower 12 mega-pixels resolution and a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, and they both have a same size camera sensor, the HTC 10 also counts with a bigger aperture to capture better captures and video in low-light environments.
The Google Pixel XL counts with a little longer battery lifetime than HTC 10, because it has a 3450mAh battery capacity against 3000mAh.
