Google Pixel vs Samsung Galaxy S7 vs HTC 10: three-way specs comparison

Packing a Snapdragon 821, 4GB of RAM, 32 or 128 gigs of native storage, and finally, a camera that is allegedly among the best ones in the class, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL are here to wage war on the very best the Android market has to offer. 

Indeed, we’ve been pretty hyped up about the small-sized Pixel – after all, what’s not to like about an easily-pocketable powerhouse? However, is the announcement of the Pixel spelling bad times for the rest of fairly small flagship devices out there, like the excellent Galaxy S7 and the not-too-shabby but largely forgotten HTC 10?

Well, we are not sure how things will unravel for the Google Pixel, but what we can do is compare this trio in terms of specs. Yes, it’s specs comparison time!

Pixel density – The pixel density of a display represents the number of pixels over an area of one inch. It’s measured in “pixels per inch”, or ppi. The higher the number, the more detailed and good-looking the display is.	441 ppi	576 ppi	565 ppi
Technology – There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

Hardware
System chip – Most modern handsets use an advanced chip that includes many of the device’s hardware modules like the processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and sometimes even the wireless radio. This field shows what particular system chip (or System-on-a-Chip) is used in the phone.	Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 MSM8996 Pro	Samsung Exynos 8 Octa 8890	Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996
Processor – The processor is the main computing component of a phone and is a major factor when it comes to the overall speed of the device. Some more powerful smartphones use dual-core and quad-core processors designed to deliver greater performance.

Cellular
CDMA – Code Division Multiple Access. A technique of multiplexing, also called spread spectrum, in which analog signals are converted into digital form for transmission. For each communication channel, the signals are encoded in a sequence known to the transmitter and the receiver for that channel. The foremost application is digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800MHz band and 1.9GHz PCS band. CDMA phones are noted for their excellent call quality and long battery life.	800, 1900 MHz
