Google Pixel XL vs. LG V20 vs. Samsung Galxy S7 Edge: Which to buy?

I will be purchasing through Verizon. I currently have a Note 4.
I understand there will be very few people who have real life experience with all 3, so let me know of the top 1-2 features that make you happy with your purchase if you have one of these. Also the top drawback or disappointment (other than verizon bloatware, which I assume will be on all 3).
Thanks!

Is there a reason you left out the Moto Z Force?
Looks like I will getting my wife either the Pixel or Moto Z on black Friday, depending on if she's ok with a 5" screen or if she wants to stay with the same size as the LG G3, which we currently have.

Is the V20 as advanced in terms of pics and video as they claim?

Easy decision. Go with Pixel.

Nope, just didn't know about it. Never had a Motorola.

The specs are redunk. It's an awesome phone.
Look up Marques Brownlee on YouTube. Dude has the best reviews.
Also look at the HTC 10. I hear it's awesome.

Another plus for the LG is the removable battery.

That's actually a huge plus for me. Do the other two not have that? I travel a lot and typically travel with a spare charged battery that I'll pop in at the airport when plugs are not available. Especially later in the phone's life as the battery degrades (like with the Note 4 right now).

And the ability to add memory cards. The way I look at it, if performance and other features are about the same as other phones, why wouldn't you want the capability to replace the battery yourself and swap out flash memory as needed?

The quad dac feature on the lg v20 is one of the best features on all three phones listed. If you listen to a lot of music lg v20 is the way to go.

As I understand it:
LG V20:
-Has very good hardware for audio.
-Supposedly good camera... but I think I read it may not be as good as Pixel camera, especially in low light.
-Removable battery and expandable memory... Removable battery comes at the expense of it not being water proof.
-Top and bottom of the phone are plastic/rubbery maybe to make it automatically more durable (shock/break resistant if dropped with, which is good if you don't like to use a case.
-Comes with Android 7.0 out the gate, which is newer than the Samsung (Android 6.x) but a half step behind Pixel (7.1 I think).
-Has a niftly little 2nd display at the top which can be tweaked for notifications and shortcuts perhaps.
Pixel:
-Most up to date software, more streamlined software, better integration with other Google products/services.
-Supposedly the best camera over the widest range of conditions.
-Best processor (Snapdragon 821). The other two are Snapdragon 820. Very similar chips... the 821 supposedly could yield higher performance. But it's my understanding that they really just tweaked it for better efficiency and battery life... That being said, the Pixel is supposedly a little snappier with regards to performance, like opening apps, etc., than the Samsung in particular.
-Somewhat waterproof if I'm not mistaken, but can't replace battery.
Galaxy Edge 7:
- I think the main supposed advantage... if you could call it that... would be that it's more feature rich. I don't really know what those features are. I don't think the LG v20 is considered as all-around high-end as the Edge. But I'm not sure why. Maybe the display isn't as sharp or the camera isn't all around as good, but that might not be the case.
-Is more water-proof than either of the other two, but can't replace battery.
-Has been out a little longer and runs older Android version.
Google: "pixel xl vs lg v20 vs edge 7" or similar. There's a few sites like Android Central, Android Authority, etc. that write articles to compare these phones on various criteria, which might help you decide based on how you use your phone.

From what I read, the difference between the Snapdragon 820 and 821 is efficiency. The 821 as set up by the Pixel is 5% more efficient on battery life when clocked at the same speed. It can by overclocked to get more speed at the 820's battery efficiency.
If you are the type that likes to root and mod your Android phone, a removable battery may be more of a benefit than to others. The battery pull on xda is equivalent to the old windows ctrl-alt-dlt command.

I like the pixel and it's available in 128gb but they need a 256gb version.
Also its 1st gen.
I think its made by HTC.

Really wasn't impressed with the V20 when i looked at it i wound up getting an S7 Edge when the note 7 debacle happened. Screen on V20 looks meh compared to the Samsung screen and the pixel screen was maybe a step above the V20 but still below the S7. But the S7 edge will be getting replaced in the next 5 months there is no point in buying it now when a new model will be out soon. If you had to buy a phone now id go with the Pixel just because its the latest and greatest.

Didn't you give your V20 to your wife and went back to the 6P?

Cracked the screen on my G5. I looked at both the V20 and Pixel. V20 is same as G5, just larger. Pixel does not have SD card. I got a new G5 on its way to me now.
