Comparison review
The Huawei Mate 9 Pro has a score of 78.7, which is just a bit better than the Moto X4's 74.4 global score. Huawei Mate 9 Pro is an older and a little heavier device than Moto X4, but Huawei managed to build it a bit thinner anyway. The Huawei Mate 9 Pro features a little bit better screen than Motorola Moto X4, because it has a higher 1440 x 2560 resolution, a better number of pixels per display inch and a little bit larger display.
The Moto X4 counts with a way bigger memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Huawei Mate 9 Pro, because although it has only 32 GB internal storage, it also counts with a SD extension slot that holds up to 1,95 TB. Huawei Mate 9 Pro counts with a bit better CPU than Moto X4, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Huawei Mate 9 Pro also has 3 GB more RAM memory.
The Moto X4 counts with a bit better camera than Huawei Mate 9 Pro, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, a 12 MP back camera and the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the Moto X4 also has a bigger camera sensor providing a higher image quality and a bigger aperture.
Huawei Mate 9 Pro features longer battery life than Moto X4, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity instead of 3000mAh.
Although Huawei Mate 9 Pro is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Motorola Moto X4, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Motorola Moto X4. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the Huawei Mate 9 Pro, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the Motorola Moto X4, giving up some specs and features.
