Comparison review
The LG G5 has an overall score of 76.1, which is a little bit better than the Motorola Moto G6's general score of 72.1. Although the LG G5 is notably older than the Motorola Moto G6, it's construction is thinner and a little bit lighter. The LG G5 counts with a little better performance than Motorola Moto G6, because although it has a lower number of cores (but faster), it also counts with 1 GB more RAM.
The LG G5 has a slightly better display than Moto G6, because although it has a little smaller screen, it also counts with more pixels per screen inch and a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560. The LG G5 has much more memory capacity to install applications and games than Moto G6, and although they both have equal 32 GB internal memory, the LG G5 also has a SD extension slot that holds a maximum of 1,95 TB.
LG G5 has just a bit better camera than Motorola Moto G6, because although it has a smaller back-facing camera sensor which offers a lower image and video quality, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same camera aperture, the LG G5 also counts with a way more mega pixels back-facing camera.
Moto G6 counts with a little longer battery duration than LG G5, because it has a 3000mAh battery size instead of 2800mAh.
Although LG G5 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Motorola Moto G6, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Motorola Moto G6. If you prefer to save some money, you can get Motorola Moto G6, letting go a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
