Comparison review
The Apple iPhone 7 Plus has a general score of 83.8, which is much better than the Moto G5 Plus's general score of 74.6. Even though the Apple iPhone 7 Plus and the Moto G5 Plus were released with only a couple of months difference, the Apple iPhone 7 Plus design is much thinner but also heavier than the Moto G5 Plus.
The iPhone 7 Plus features a bit more vivid display than Moto G5 Plus, because although it has a bit less pixels per inch of display, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, the iPhone 7 Plus also counts with a quite bigger display. IPhone 7 Plus counts with a lot bigger storage for games and applications than Moto G5 Plus, because although it has no slot for external memory cards, it also counts with 192 GB more internal memory.
IPhone 7 Plus counts with a bit better processor than Moto G5 Plus, although it has a lower number of cores (although faster) and less RAM. Moto G5 Plus features just a bit longer battery performance than Apple iPhone 7 Plus, because it has a 3000mAh battery size. The Apple iPhone 7 Plus features a slightly better camera than Moto G5 Plus, although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not recommended for shooting photographs and/or video in poorly lited situations and a smaller sensor which offers a worse image and video quality, they both have a same resolution back camera, the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition.
Although Apple iPhone 7 Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more than Moto G5 Plus, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Moto G5 Plus. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy Moto G5 Plus, giving up some specs and features, but you will get the most out of your budget.
