if for whatever reason samsung's new Galaxy s8 isn't doing it for you there are other great androids to consider like the LG G 6 and Google pixel XL to help decide which one is for you we consider the phones in five different categories to see which one is better the elegant pixel and its glass shade is a differentiator the really blue variant is particularly eye catching if you can get it that is the g6 is LG's best looking phone to date it's barely there bezels allow it to have a bigger display while remaining physically smaller than the XL but the g6 is ace in the hole is its water resistance this durability against accidental dunks or splashes is a big benefit the winner if it were purely aesthetics I'd give it to the pixel but water resistance gives the g6 the ultimate leg up the g6 can take wide-angle photos with a back and front cameras meaning you could fit more content in each frame the preloaded square camera app also edits neat photos that's perfect for Instagram aside from a lens blur mode the pixel doesn't have many camera tricks but then again it doesn't need to considering it has a fantastic camera especially in dim lighting it takes sharper selfies and record steadier video I'll be it with a floating drone mic quality while the G fixes wide-angle feature has its uses I take the pixels low-light prowess over that any day both phones are equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 1 chipset and on paper they're benchmarks for neck-and-neck real-life usage was also on par with one another and both were fast when it came to launching apps browsing the web etc as for battery during our test for continuous video playback on airplane mode the g6 clocked in 13 hours and 21 minutes while the pixel lasted 13 hours and 49 minutes the pixel XL wins this round but only barely due to its slightly longer battery test time with both handsets running Android 7.0 and Google assistant built in not much differentiate the g6 and pixel in terms of software the winner here is both and by both I mean neither since they both have unexcited software features while both our premium phones the g6 is consistently less expensive across different countries and carriers barring any crazy pixel deal I'm not aware of the g6 is a better value for now tallying up the score we have a Thai hashtag sorry not sorry hey are you surprised at least we didn't say something cheesy like the true winner here is you the consumer or whatever look if money were no object and I considered both in a vacuum the pixels camera and battery make it objectively the better phone but the g6 is lower price not to mention water-resistant give it a big boost ultimately a lot of what makes a phone call M quote better depends on you your budget and your priorities the LG G 6 and Google pixel XL are grade a phone whatever you go with you're guaranteed to be satisfied
