Verdict: Pixel 10 ahead on 1 row, Pixel 6 on none
On the named third-party sources, the Pixel 10 wins on Geekbench 6 (CPU, multi-core) (5,397 against 3,284, both from Geekbench Browser). 3 gaps are borderline, differences most people would not notice: refresh rate (120 Hz against 90 Hz) for the Pixel 10, RAM (12 GB against 8 GB) for the Pixel 10 and wireless charging (21 W from GSMArena against 15 W from the maker) for the Pixel 6. The differences in weight, display size and battery capacity are below the thresholds you would notice. Both state the same storage (base) and fast charging. The other 37 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.

Specifications
A win is marked only where the figures can be ranked and the gap is one you could notice. A row the site has no threshold for says whether the two differ, and that it is not ranking them. = marks the same figure on both, ≠ not ranked a difference with no ranking. Every figure carries its source.
