Comparison review
Apple iPhone 8 is much better than the Motorola Moto X4, getting an 85 score against 74.4. Apple iPhone 8's construction is a little bit lighter and just a little bit thinner than the Motorola Moto X4, even when they were released with only a couple months difference. IPhone 8 features a little better performance than Motorola Moto X4, because although it has less cpu cores and less RAM, it also counts with a 64-bits processing unit.
IPhone 8 and Moto X4 both count with extremely similar screens, although the iPhone 8 has a much lower resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels, a just a bit lower screen density and a quite smaller display. Apple iPhone 8 counts with a little bit more memory capacity for games and applications than Moto X4, because although it has no slot for external memory cards, it also counts with 256 GB internal storage capacity.
Motorola Moto X4 has a much longer battery lifetime than Apple iPhone 8, because it has a 65 percent larger battery capacity. The iPhone 8 features a little bit better camera than Motorola Moto X4, because although it has a tinier sensor, and they both have a 12 mega pixels resolution back camera and the same video resolution, the iPhone 8 also counts with a bigger diafragm aperture to take better low-light images and faster video frame rates.
Although iPhone 8 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Moto X4, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Moto X4. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy iPhone 8, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Moto X4, resigning some specs and features.
