Google Pixel XL vs Nexus 6P vs OnePlus 3: here is a specs comparison
Google is pushing towards the mainstream with its latest smartphones, the Pixel and the Pixel XL, and only time will show if these are the revelation the Android crowd has been keeping its breath for. Chances are that you might still be undecided whether to invest your hard-earned money in the Pixel XL/Pixel or not, as these definitely have a couple of more affordable, albeit a bit older alternatives that could be a better pick for you.
We are talking about none other than the last great Nexus device, the not-too-shabby Huawei-made Nexus 6P, and a device that is often cited as one of the best value-for-money phones of 2016 - the mighty OnePlus 3.
