Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has an overall score of 79.3, which is a bit better than the Motorola Moto X4's global score of 74.4. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 body is a little bit thinner than the Motorola Moto X4, although it's a little bit heavier and was released many years before. The Moto X4 counts with a bit superior processor than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with a larger number of cores (and also faster).
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a sharper display than Moto X4, because it has a better 2560 x 1440px resolution, a just a bit more pixels per inch of screen and a bit bigger screen. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a slightly better camera than Moto X4, because although it has a smaller back-facing camera sensor capturing worse quality photos and videos, and they both have the same (4K) video quality and the same video frame rate, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 also counts with a back-facing camera with much more megapixels and a larger diafragm aperture.
Motorola Moto X4 counts with a much better storage capacity for apps and games than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, because although it has just 32 GB internal memory capacity, it also counts with a slot for an external memory card that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 counts with a battery performance that's just as good as the Moto X4 one.
Although Galaxy Note 5 is a better device, it is way more expensive than Motorola Moto X4, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Motorola Moto X4. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy Galaxy Note 5, otherwise you can save some dollars and buy the Motorola Moto X4, resigning some specifications.
