The dimension of Google Pixel XL is 154.7 x 75.7 x 8.5 mm comparing to iPhone 7 Plus 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm, but if we take the weight into account, then Pixel XL has an edge with a weight of 168 grams comparing to 188 gram of 7 Plus.
Google Pixel XL is splash and dust resistant whereas iPhone 7 Plus is dust resistant and water resistant up to 1 meter and 30 minutes.
Google Pixel gives you the great touch experience with AMOLED screen and iPhone 7 PLUS gives you LED-backlit IPS LCD captive touchscreen.

iPhone 7 Plus major feature was having no headphone jack, but Google Pixel XL still goes with it and has an active noise cancellation with dedicated mic which you can find in 7 Plus as well.
Although this smartphone is slightly older than iPhone 7 Plus or many of the smartphones we are comparing with it today, we thought it is worth looking. This smartphone is in the market for almost a year and some five months before iPhone 7 Plus embarked, but surprisingly Huawei P9 has certain similar features with Apple's latest Phablet.
The new purchase of Huawei P9 will give you and Android OS version 6.0, Marshmallow but don't worry; you can upgrade it to version 7.0, Android Nougat so that you can match it with Apple's iOS 10.
Internal memory can be a cause of concern if you are trying this smartphone as it has the maximum internal memory of 64 GB compared to iPhone 7 Plus' whopping 256 GB, but here also there is a way out where you can choose the best microSD card and upgrade it to 256 GB in minutes.
One major common factor between Huawei P9 and iPhone 7 Plus is the dual camera. Both these smartphones have 12 MP dual camera with phase detection autofocus, so if you are a photo freak, you got great option to choose.
Another feature which commons these two great phones is the fingerprint sensor and also accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass. You will find all in both the smartphones.
On battery issue, Huawei P9 has slightly bigger battery with 3000mAh capacity where iPhone 7 Plus has 2900mAh battery.
One more alternative we have for iPhone 7 Plus and believe us it is one of the most talked about smartphones these days, despite it is three months old. What is making OnePlus 3T a talking point is its looks and some special features which can lure you to try this alternative.
Compare to iPhone 7 Plus, OnePlus 3T is smaller in size and lighter in weight, yet both have aluminum builds.

The contrast ration on iPhone 7 Plus is limited to 1398:1 and OnePlus 3T scores over here with infinite contrast ratio.
This option may sound weird to many that why we are offering a generation old smartphone as an alternative to a brand new iPhone 7 Plus? The reason behind this is that iPhone 6 Plus is $120 less even if you purchase it from Apple. Refurbished models are even cheaper and also if you wish iOS 10 running on a Phablet other than iPhone 7 Plus then this is a natural alternative.
Despite being a generation old smartphone, iPhone 6 Plus is almost same when it comes to dimensions and less in weight comparison.
Just like iPhone 7 Plus you can use Apple Pay which is Visa, MasterCard AMEX certified on iPhone 6 Plus as well, which is the biggest plus here.
There is going to be similar display type, size, and resolution with both these smartphone.
iPhone 7 Plus has an additional 256 GB memory size which iPhone 6 Plus doesn't have but will you really care about it?
As we mentioned above the cost factor should matter the most here, and on that parameter, iPhone 6 Plus has a win-win situation.
Well, this is another year old smartphone, but it still can lock horns with iPhone 7 Plus on many features. The only cause of concern here for us is that Samsung is going to announce its new flagship smartphone Galaxy S8 in next month only, but then the price factor may also come into pictures. So it is a good idea to give a look to the current smartphone.
Again a smaller and lighter Phablet on offer compared to iPhone 7 Plus, but Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge has a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 back panel which you can consider if you want something extra.
The display size is the same with both the models which is 5.5 inches. Apart from that Galaxy S7 Edge has a super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors, the same we can find in iPhone 7 Plus with LED-backlit IPS LCD.
If we talk about OS, Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge's Marshmallow (OS 6.0) can be upgraded with the current Nougat (OS 7.0) to get the somewhat similar OS like iOS 10.0.1.
There is no dual camera in Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge which is the only negative if we compare it with iPhone 7 Plus.
The 3600mAH battery of Galaxy S7 Edge is far more superior than iPhone 7 Plus's 2900mAh, and it doesn't blast either.
The LG G5 is the most powerful dual camera Android smartphone on a current date. So if you wish to buy the greatest Android smartphone, then you can consider LG G5 without a scratch. But here we are comparing it with iPhone 7 Plus, so let's see how it fairs against it.

When it comes to resolution, LG G5 has an upper hand with ~554 PPI pixel density compared to ~401 PPI pixel density of iPhone 7 Plus.
