The iPhone 8 Plus features a slightly better camera than Moto Z3, because although it has a tinier sensor shooting lower quality images, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution and a back camera with a 12 MP, the iPhone 8 Plus also counts with better video frame rates and a larger aperture to capture better low-light photos and videos.
