Comparison review
The LG G5 has a general score of 76.1, which is a little bit better than the Moto X4's general score of 74.4. LG G5's construction is just a little lighter and just a bit thinner than the Moto X4, although it was released about 19 months before. The LG G5 features a little bit better display than Moto X4, because it has a little bit bigger display, a higher pixels number per screen inch and a better resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels.
The Moto X4 counts with just a little better processing power than LG G5, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with more 2.2 GHz processing cores. The LG G5 has as much storage to install applications and games or saving photos and videos as Moto X4, they have an external memory slot that supports up to 1,95 TB and the same internal storage.
The LG G5 counts with a bit better camera than Moto X4, because although it has a tinier back camera sensor taking less light and dull colors, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution and the same video frame rate, the LG G5 also counts with a back camera with much more megapixels and a larger aperture for better photos and video in low-light situations.
Motorola Moto X4 counts with just a little better battery duration than LG G5, because it has a 7% greater battery size.
Although LG G5 is a better device, it is way more expensive than Moto X4, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Moto X4. If you want to save some money, you can get the Moto X4, and give up a few features and specifications, but you'll get the most out of your savings.
