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!
