I've got a Pixel 2 and have found that OTC Pixels 2 JPEGs image quality are about equal to Canon M6 raw files, after I have optimized the M6 raw files within an inch of their lives in CC 2018 ACR.

But only within the limitations of shooting with a Pixel 2.  A DSLR is better at capturing fast motion.  And real optical zoom a lot better than Pixel 2 zoom (really cropping in camera).  And framing shots on a smartphone screen in the bright sun is problematic.

A DSLR is a good complement to a Pixel 2.  But probably can't beat your Pixel 2 under similar shooting conditions (unless you need high resolution.)

You'll probably switch off.  For a while the DSLR will seem a lot better than your Pixel 2.  But eventually you might tire of dragging the DSLR everywhere and shooting within the limitations of your Pixel 2 XL all by itself will start to look good.  Until you find that you've missed shots because you didn't have your DSLR. Lather, rinse, and repeat.

The photographer's dilemma.

i have a google pixel 2 xl...and was looking at a cannon t6i.....would the t6i be the best for getting into photography..

? Your posting history says you've had cameras in the past including a Nikon d3200.

one thing i like to do , is take distance shots, like object 1/4 block away..and smartphone camers dont like to zoom up much....is the cannot t6i waste of money if i have this smartphone?

So your question seems sketchy since you've had at least one dslr before
