Comparison review
Sony Xperia Z5 has a global score of 77.6, which is a little bit better than Moto X4's global score of 74.4. Sony Xperia Z5 is an older cellphone than the Moto X4, but it's just a little bit thinner and just a little bit lighter anyway. Xperia Z5 counts with a little faster processor than Moto X4, and although they both have a Octa-Core processing unit and the same RAM amount, the Xperia Z5 also has an extra graphics processing unit.
Xperia Z5 counts with a brighter display than Moto X4. Both have the same pixels density, the same exact 1920 x 1080 resolution and a display of the same size. Moto X4 has a very superior storage for applications, games, photos and videos than Xperia Z5, and although they both have equal 32 GB internal storage, the Moto X4 also has an external memory slot that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB.
Xperia Z5 captures slightly better videos and photos than Motorola Moto X4, and although they both have the same video frame rates and the same (4K) video definition, the Xperia Z5 also has a larger camera aperture for better photos and videos in poorly lited situations, a camera with way more MP and a bigger back camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors.
The Moto X4 features just a bit longer battery life than Sony Xperia Z5, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity instead of 2900mAh.
Although Sony Xperia Z5 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Motorola Moto X4, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Motorola Moto X4. If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can buy Motorola Moto X4, and give up some specs and features, but you'll get the most with your budget.
