Comparison review
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play has a score of 77.4, which is just a bit better than HTC U11 life's global score of 74.5. Motorola Moto Z2 Play's design is a little heavier but way thinner than the HTC U11 life, and they were only released with a few months difference. Moto Z2 Play's processing unit is very similar to HTC U11 life's processor, and although the Moto Z2 Play has a larger amount of RAM memory, they both have a Octa-Core processor.
HTC U11 life counts with a slightly better screen than Moto Z2 Play, because although it has a little smaller display, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, the HTC U11 life also counts with a quite better pixel density. The Moto Z2 Play counts with a bigger memory capacity to install applications and games than HTC U11 life, and although they both have an external SD slot that admits up to 1,95 TB, the Moto Z2 Play also has more internal storage capacity.
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play has just a little bit longer battery duration than HTC U11 life, because it has a 3000mAh battery size. HTC U11 life has a bit better camera than Motorola Moto Z2 Play, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not good for shooting photographs or video in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same (4K) video resolution, the HTC U11 life also counts with a back facing camera with a lot better resolution.
Even being the best phone between the ones we are comparing, Motorola Moto Z2 Play is also a bargain compared to others, which makes it a no doubt choice.
