The Motorola Moto Z3 Play's processor is just as good as the processor in Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M1), both have 4 GB of RAM memory and a Octa-Core processor. The Moto Z3 Play's memory to install applications and games is very similar to Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M1)'s one, they have a slot for an SD memory card that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB and equal 64 GB internal memory.
Motorola Moto Z3 Play has a slightly better camera than Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M1), because although it has a camera with a lower 12 megapixels resolution and a lower 3840x2160 video resolution, it also counts with a much bigger diafragm aperture. The Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M1) counts with a really longer battery duration than Motorola Moto Z3 Play, because it has 5000mAh of battery capacity against 3000mAh.
Although Motorola Moto Z3 Play is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M1), and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M1). So if you need that extra specs, you can buy Motorola Moto Z3 Play, else you can save a couple dollars and get the Asus ZenFone Max Pro (M1), resigning some specs and features.
