Comparison review
The Sony Xperia XZ3 has an overall score of 79.6, which is a bit better than the Moto G7's score of 75.2. Despite being the best cellphone we are comparing, we must note that it is also a a lot thicker and somewhat heavier cellphone. Both devices in this review include the same Android 9.0 Pie OS (operating system), so both of them should provide very similar OS features.
Xperia XZ3 features a bit better hardware performance than Moto G7. They have 4 GB of RAM and the same number of cores. Xperia XZ3 features a sharper display than Moto G7, because although it has a bit smaller screen, it also counts with more pixels per inch of display and a better 1440 x 2880 resolution.
Xperia XZ3's storage capacity to install applications and games is just as good as the Moto G7 one, both have exactly the same internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards that allows up to 512 GB. Xperia XZ3 counts with just a little bit longer battery life than Motorola Moto G7, because it has 3330mAh of battery capacity.
Xperia XZ3 takes much better videos and photos than Moto G7, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not recommended for taking photos or videos in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and the same video frame rate, the Xperia XZ3 also counts with a back-facing camera with lot more megapixels.
Although Sony Xperia XZ3 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Moto G7, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Moto G7. If you prefer to save some money, you can buy the Moto G7, and give up a few features and specs, but you'll get the most with your savings.
