To Pixel or not to Pixel, that is the question.

Summary

Similar Display - Nope unless you spend even more 
Similar Camera - We shall see - Edit: Actually... Pixel doesn't have OIS... So I doubt it will be as good as Samsungs
Similar CPU/GPU - Only in the US. Every other country gets the version where the CPU rekts it
Better Connector - See my response
Better Storage - Nope since Samsung has Micro-SD card
Better Reponsiveness - I agree
Better Carrier Support - As far as Radios go, I agree and never disagreed
Similar Price - You can get a Galaxy S7 for $100 less and if you want the version which matches the Galaxy S7's Display, you have to spend $100 more than the Base pixel which is $200 more than what you can get for the Galaxy S7. Or $100 more than the S7 with US warranty. Either ways, its more for less.
Lacks two Overrated hardware features - Nope. I don't get how water resistance is even considered overrated and micro-sd card certainly isn't

Oh look, paying more for less unless you ignore all the features and call them overrated because you don't use them.

see my post above... 

One thing before you go though.

You seem to state that iphone and Nexus phones are in the same league when it comes to storage but they really aren't. iphone 6s as well as iphone 7 uses NVMe storage vs Samsung's eMMC on the Nexus 6p and Galaxy S6/S7's UFS. Considering this is Samsung's controller, most likely, the Pixel will be a bit less than the internal storage speed of the Galaxy S7 if they go with Samsung again like they did with the 6p. The point is, iphone storage speed blows away any android phone's storage speed due to its NVMe storage solution. So I don't think it makes sense to say, oh Apple has it like this so Nexus can do it too when they don't even have comparable storage technologies.

FDE stands for "Full Disk Encryption" if you were wondering.
