The Sony Xperia XZ1 captures clearer pictures and videos than Moto X4, and although they both have the same video frame rates, a F2 aperture and the same (4K) video resolution, the Sony Xperia XZ1 also has a much better resolution back camera and a bigger sensor taking better quality videos and pictures.

The Moto X4 counts with a bit longer battery duration than Xperia XZ1, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity instead of 2700mAh.

So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the Xperia XZ1, otherwise you can save some dollars and buy the Motorola Moto X4, letting go some specifications.
