The Galaxy S7 counts with a much better display than Google Nexus 6P, because although it has a bit smaller screen, and they both have an equal 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution, the Galaxy S7 also counts with a little higher pixels density.
Google Nexus 6P has a better memory capacity for apps and games than Galaxy S7, because although it has no slot for an SD memory card, it also counts with 128 GB internal storage capacity. Google Nexus 6P counts with just a little better hardware performance than Galaxy S7, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with more cpu cores.
Google Nexus 6P features a bit better camera than Galaxy S7, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not nice for low-light photos and videos, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same video definition, the Google Nexus 6P also counts with a better 12.3 megapixels resolution back camera and a bigger back-facing camera sensor shooting higher quality videos and pictures.
The Google Nexus 6P counts with just a bit longer battery lifetime than Galaxy S7, because it has a 3450mAh battery size instead of 3000mAh.
Although Google Nexus 6P is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Samsung Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Samsung Galaxy S7. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy the Google Nexus 6P, else you can save some money and buy the Samsung Galaxy S7, resigning a couple features and specs.
