Comparison review
The LG G5 has a general score of 76.1, which is just a bit better than the Moto Z Force's 75.8 score. Although LG G5 and Moto Z Force were released only a few months apart, LG G5's body is just a little bit lighter but also a bit thicker. These devices work with Android OS (Operating System), but the LG G5 has a newer 8.0 Oreo version and Moto Z Force has Android 7.0 Nougat, so it gives you a couple nice extra features.
Moto Z Force counts with a CPU that's just as good as the CPU in LG G5, both of them have 4 GB of RAM memory and the same number of cores. The LG G5 features a bit sharper display than Motorola Moto Z Force, because although it has a quite smaller display, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1440 x 2560px, the LG G5 also counts with a little better pixels density.
The Motorola Moto Z Force counts with more storage capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than LG G5, and although they both have a SD memory slot that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB, the Motorola Moto Z Force also has more internal storage. LG G5 and Moto Z Force both have really similar cameras, and although the Moto Z Force has a camera with a lot higher resolution, they both have the same video resolution, the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same aperture.
Motorola Moto Z Force counts with greater battery life than LG G5, because it has 3500mAh of battery capacity against 2800mAh.
Although LG G5 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Motorola Moto Z Force, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Motorola Moto Z Force. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy the Motorola Moto Z Force, giving up a couple features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
