Comparison review
The LG G5 is a little bit better than the Motorola Moto G Power, having a score of 76.1 against 76.1. The LG G5 construction is notably thinner and notably lighter than Motorola Moto G Power, even though it was released many years before. Both of these phones come with Android OS, but LG G5 has newer 8.0 Oreo version and Motorola Moto G Power has Android 11, so it provides some extra features and enhanced performance.
LG G5 counts with a little sharper screen than Moto G Power, because although it has a bit smaller screen, it also counts with a better pixel density and a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. Motorola Moto G Power has a bit faster processor than LG G5, and although they both have a 4 GB RAM, the Motorola Moto G Power also has more cpu cores (although they are slower).
The LG G5 has just a bit bigger memory capacity to store more games and applications than Motorola Moto G Power, because although it has only 32 GB internal storage, it also counts with a slot for an external memory card that holds up to 1,95 TB. The Moto G Power and the LG G5 feature quite similar cameras, because although the LG G5 has a tinier aperture which is not favorable for taking images and videos in low light situations, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the same resolution back facing camera and the same 3840x2160 video definition, it also counts with a larger back camera sensor providing a better image quality.
Moto G Power counts with a really longer battery performance than LG G5, because it has a 5000mAh battery size against 2800mAh.
Although LG G5 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Moto G Power, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Moto G Power. If you want to save a few dollars, you can get the Moto G Power, giving up some specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
