The Galaxy S5 is an notably older phone than Moto G8, but Samsung was able to make it just a little thinner and extremely lighter anyway.

The Galaxy S5 takes slightly better photos and videos than Moto G8, although it has a way tinier aperture which is not recommended for low light captures and video, they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, a back facing camera with a 16 mega pixels resolution and the same video frame rates.
The Motorola Moto G8 has a really longer battery duration than Galaxy S5, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity instead of 2800mAh.
Although Samsung Galaxy S5 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Motorola Moto G8, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Motorola Moto G8. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S5, otherwise you can save some dollars and buy the Motorola Moto G8, resigning some features and specs.
