Both are the similar handset, the significant difference only in the battery capacity and screen resolution. No extra features or development to the camera between the two handsets. It is just a choice that based on physical size.
Writer described it beautifully – At Forbes
“While the Pixel doesn’t have the best screens on a smartphone, they’re adequate or better than adequate. And I think you may find this to be a theme throughout this review. In many aspects, the Pixel is “safe” regarding hardware. Like many phones, it’s not the best in direct sunlight, but this phone gets brighter than the Moto Z for example. It’s more than enough to get the job done, though. I was happy with the colors and vibrancy of the display when watching videos and playing games.”

Best Camera
As it is going to market for consumers, the Pixel handsets need to fight in every area and stage of technology that include the camera. Samsung is at the zenith of the smartphone camera quantity here, with the iPhone 7 plus not that remote late. But, Google Pixel is static a high-scoring magnet when matched TechCrunch:
“On their own, the Pixel and Pixel XL are impressive cameras. Prospective buyers might want to see how they stack up against the competition, however. I shot photos in the same conditions successively on a Pixel XL, a Samsung Galaxy S7, and an Apple iPhone 7 Plus to provide an idea of the differences you can expect with each.
Ultimately, numbered ratings from third-party analyst sites aside, this is a race so close that it’s impossible to call, except by personal preference. Each of these smartphone cameras excels in some regard, but the best result is in the eye of the beholder since none exhibits any serious flaws.”
Google Assistant

“Android 7.1 is a relatively minor update to Android 7.0 Nougat with circular app icons and folders, app shortcuts and enhanced live wallpapers. The “app shortcuts” are valuable additions that add a bit of Apple’s 3D touch functionality to Android.
…Long press an app, such as the phone, and you’ll see options that the developer has included behind the scenes. Chrome lets you open new tabs, maps lets you quickly navigate to work or home, messages makes you open recent conversations. Think of it as easy shortcuts.”
The most significant thing to note about the Pixel is to be the prize platform for the Google Assistant. Ship the Assistant by long-pressing the home button and then talking, similar to Siri on the iPhone.
Google Pixel handset is the only one that you can call this new feature by pressing the home button or saying “Ok Google.”
