Comparison review
Google Pixel XL has a global score of 81.3, which is a bit better than the Xiaomi Mi 6's 76.5 general score. The Google Pixel XL design weights the same than the Xiaomi Mi 6, but it's thicker. The Xiaomi Mi 6 has a bit superior processing unit than Google Pixel XL, because it has more RAM and a greater number of cores.
The Xiaomi Mi 6 features a bit more vivid display than Google Pixel XL, although it has a little smaller display, a much lower 1080 x 1920px resolution and a bit lower pixel density. Google Pixel XL shoots a little bit better photographs and videos than Xiaomi Mi 6, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not favorable for shooting photographs and/or video in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same (4K) video resolution, the Google Pixel XL also counts with a way larger back camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors and a more MP camera in the back.
The Google Pixel XL's storage capacity for apps and games is just as good as the Xiaomi Mi 6 one, both have exactly the same internal storage. The Google Pixel XL features just a little bit longer battery duration than Xiaomi Mi 6, because it has 3450mAh of battery capacity.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Xiaomi Mi 6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Xiaomi Mi 6. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy Google Pixel XL, otherwise you can save some dollars and get the Xiaomi Mi 6, resigning some features and specifications.
