Comparison review
The Google Pixel XL has a global score of 81.3, which is a little bit better than Moto X4's score of 74.4. Even being the best phone in our current comparison, it must be noted that it is also an older, a little bit heavier and just a little bit thicker phone. The Motorola Moto X4 counts with a bit more powerful processing unit than Google Pixel XL, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with a larger number of faster cores.
Google Pixel XL features a little more vivid display than Moto X4, because it has a better resolution of 1440 x 2560px, a little larger display and a higher display pixel density. Google Pixel XL and Motorola Moto X4 feature really similar cameras, and although the Google Pixel XL has a larger sensor shooting better quality videos and pictures and a camera in the back with more mega pixels, they both have the same video frame rates, a F2 diafragm aperture and the same (4K) video quality.
The Moto X4 counts with a lot bigger memory to install applications and games than Google Pixel XL, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with a slot for external memory cards that admits up to 1,95 TB. The Google Pixel XL features a bit better battery life than Moto X4, because it has a 15% greater battery capacity.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Motorola Moto X4, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Motorola Moto X4. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Google Pixel XL, but if you don't you can save some money and buy the Motorola Moto X4, giving up a couple features and specifications.
