The Motorola edge counts with a much longer battery duration than Galaxy S9, because it has 4500mAh of battery capacity. Motorola edge captures much clearer pictures and videos than Galaxy S9, because although it has worse video frame rate and a tinier camera aperture which is not favorable for shooting photographs and/or video in low-light situations, and they both have the same (4K) video quality, the Motorola edge also counts with a back-facing camera with much more mega pixels and a much larger sensor providing a way higher image quality.
Although Motorola edge is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Galaxy S9, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Galaxy S9. If you want to save a few dollars, you can get the Galaxy S9, and give up a couple features and specs, but you will get the most out of your money.
