Comparison review
Google Pixel 3a is a little bit better than Moto G Power, with a 78.8 score against 76.1. Both phones in this review have the same Android 11 OS (Operating System), so you shouldn't see any differences in that aspect. Google Pixel 3a's design is somewhat thinner and a lot lighter than Moto G Power, although it was released a little bit more than a year before.
Motorola Moto G Power has a CPU that's very similar to the processing unit in Google Pixel 3a, both of them have a 4 GB RAM and a Octa-Core processing unit. Google Pixel 3a counts with just a bit better looking display than Motorola Moto G Power, because although it has a bit lower 1080 x 2220px resolution and a little smaller display, it also counts with a little bit higher screen density.
Moto G Power counts with just a bit better camera than Google Pixel 3a, because although it has a smaller sensor shooting worse quality videos and pictures, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 video definition, the Moto G Power also counts with a way more mega pixels back facing camera and a larger aperture for better captures and video in poorly lited situations.
Moto G Power features a much bigger memory capacity for games and applications than Google Pixel 3a, and although they both have exactly the same 64 GB internal storage capacity, the Moto G Power also has a SD extension slot that holds up to 512 GB. Moto G Power has a much longer battery performance than Google Pixel 3a, because it has a 67 percent larger battery size.
Although Google Pixel 3a is a better device, it is more expensive than the Moto G Power, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Moto G Power. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the Google Pixel 3a, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Moto G Power, letting go a couple features and specs.
