Comparison review
The Motorola Moto Z3 Play has a global score of 76.3, which is slightly better than HTC U11 life's 74.5 general score. Even though Motorola Moto Z3 Play and the HTC U11 life were only released 8 months apart, Motorola Moto Z3 Play's construction is thinner but just a little bit heavier. HTC U11 life has just a little better performance than Motorola Moto Z3 Play, although it has a smaller amount of RAM memory, they both have the same number of cores.
HTC U11 life features a little more vivid screen than Motorola Moto Z3 Play, because although it has a bit smaller display and a quite lower 1080 x 1920 resolution, it also counts with a just a bit better display density. The Moto Z3 Play counts with a quite bigger storage capacity to install applications and games than HTC U11 life, and although they both have a SD memory slot that admits up to 1,95 TB, the Moto Z3 Play also has 32 GB more internal memory capacity.
Moto Z3 Play counts with a bit longer battery lifetime than HTC U11 life, because it has a 15 percent larger battery capacity. The Motorola Moto Z3 Play's camera is just as good as the HTC U11 life one, because although the Motorola Moto Z3 Play has a way less megapixels resolution back facing camera and a lower (4K) video definition, it also counts with a larger aperture for better images and videos in poorly lited situations.
Although Moto Z3 Play is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the HTC U11 life, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as HTC U11 life. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the Moto Z3 Play, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the HTC U11 life, resigning a couple features and specifications.
