Motorola Moto Z2 Force Edition is a newer device, and it is also lighter and thinner than LG G5. Motorola Moto Z2 Force Edition has a little better hardware performance than LG G5, and although they both have 4 GB of RAM memory, the Motorola Moto Z2 Force Edition also has a greater number of cores.
The LG G5 and the Moto Z2 Force Edition have extremely similar displays, because although the Moto Z2 Force Edition has a little bit lower pixel count in each inch of screen, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, it also counts with a little larger display. LG G5 takes slightly better photographs and videos than Moto Z2 Force Edition, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the LG G5 also has a bigger sensor providing a higher image quality, a bigger aperture to capture better low-light captures and videos and a way more mega pixels camera.

If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can get the LG G5, and give up a couple features, but you will get the most out of your budget.
