Comparison review
The Google Pixel XL has a global score of 81.3, which is much better than Motorola Moto G6's 72.1 global score. Although Google Pixel XL is a better phone than Motorola Moto G6, it must be told that it's also an older, just a bit thicker and a little heavier phone. Google Pixel XL features a slightly better screen than Motorola Moto G6, because although it has a quite smaller display, it also counts with a better resolution of 1440 x 2560px and a better pixels amount per inch of display.
Google Pixel XL features much more memory to store more apps and games than Moto G6, because although it has no slot for external memory cards, it also counts with 96 GB more internal memory capacity. The Google Pixel XL's processing unit is very similar to the Motorola Moto G6 one, because although the Google Pixel XL has a lower number of cores (although faster), it also counts with more RAM memory.
Google Pixel XL has a bit superior battery performance than Moto G6, because it has a 15 percent bigger battery capacity. Google Pixel XL features a camera that's very similar to the Moto G6 one, because although the Google Pixel XL has a smaller camera aperture, and they both have the same video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, it also counts with a more mega-pixels camera in the back and a larger back camera sensor capturing better quality videos and photographs.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Motorola Moto G6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Motorola Moto G6. So if you need that extra features, you can buy Google Pixel XL, but if you don't you can save some money and buy the Motorola Moto G6, giving up some specs and features.
