Comparison review
Apple iPhone XS has a global score of 84.2, which is much better than the Motorola Moto G8's overall score of 74.4. Apple iPhone XS's body is somewhat thinner and a little bit lighter than Motorola Moto G8, despite of the fact that it was released a little bit over a year before. IPhone XS counts with a quite superior performance than Motorola Moto G8, because although it has an inferior number of cores (although faster), and they both have the same RAM amount, the iPhone XS also counts with a 64-bits processing unit.
IPhone XS counts with a much better display than Moto G8, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a much higher screen pixel density and a way better resolution of 1125 x 2436 pixels. The Motorola Moto G8 counts with a way bigger memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than iPhone XS, and although they both have the same internal storage, the Motorola Moto G8 also has a slot for an external memory card that supports up to 512 GB.
Motorola Moto G8 counts with a very superior battery life than Apple iPhone XS, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity. IPhone XS shoots a bit better pictures and videos than Moto G8, although it has a way worse resolution back camera, a tinier diafragm aperture and a worse 3840x2160 video resolution.
Although iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Moto G8, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Moto G8. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can get Moto G8, giving up a few features and specs, but you'll get the most with your money.
