Samsung Galaxy S8 Active shoots just a bit better videos and photos than Moto G7, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, a camera in the back with a 12 mega-pixels resolution and the same 30 fps video frame rate, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active also has a bigger diafragm aperture to take better captures and videos in poorly lited situations.
Motorola Moto G7 counts with just a bit bigger memory to store more games and applications than Samsung Galaxy S8 Active, and although they both have exactly the same 64 GB internal storage, the Motorola Moto G7 also has a slot for SD memory cards that holds up to 512 GB.
