The Apple iPhone XS Max features a more vivid display than Moto Z3 Play, because it has a little bit bigger display, a higher resolution of 1242 x 2688px and a just a little more pixels per inch in the screen. The iPhone XS Max has a bit better camera than Moto Z3 Play, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is worse for low light images, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, a 12 mega pixels resolution camera and a same size back camera sensor, the iPhone XS Max also counts with faster video frame rate.
The Moto Z3 Play features a way bigger storage capacity for apps and games than Apple iPhone XS Max, and although they both have the same internal storage capacity, the Moto Z3 Play also has a SD extension slot that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB.
