The Xperia 5 has a global score of 81, which is just a bit better than Moto G7's 75.2 general score. Although Xperia 5 and the Moto G7 were only released with a couple months difference, Xperia 5's construction is just a little lighter but also just a little thicker. The Sony Xperia 5 features a bit more vivid screen than Moto G7, because although it has a quite smaller display, it also counts with a bit higher 1080 x 2520 pixels resolution and a just a little better count of pixels per inch in the screen.
Sony Xperia 5 counts with a bit better processor than Moto G7, and although they both have a Octa-Core CPU, the Sony Xperia 5 also has a larger amount of RAM. Sony Xperia 5 features a lot bigger memory capacity for games and applications than Motorola Moto G7, and although they both have an external memory card slot that allows up to 512 GB, the Sony Xperia 5 also has 64 GB more internal storage.
Sony Xperia 5 features just a bit longer battery performance than Motorola Moto G7, because it has 3140mAh of battery capacity instead of 3000mAh. Xperia 5 takes a little bit better photos and videos than Moto G7, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same resolution back-facing camera, the Xperia 5 also has a larger aperture to capture better low light captures.
Although Sony Xperia 5 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Motorola Moto G7, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Motorola Moto G7. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the Sony Xperia 5, otherwise you can save some money and buy the Motorola Moto G7, giving up a couple specifications.
