Google Pixel 3's camera is just as good as the camera in Galaxy S7, because although the Google Pixel 3 has a smaller aperture which is worse for shooting photos and/or video in low light situations and a tinier camera sensor giving a lower image quality, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same (4K) video definition, it also counts with a back facing camera with a better resolution.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 has just a bit better battery lifetime than Google Pixel 3, because it has a 3000mAh battery size.
