Xiaomi Mi 5s's construction is lighter but somewhat thicker than Moto Z Force, and both were only released 1 months apart. These phones include Android OS, but Xiaomi Mi 5s has the older 6.0 Marshmallow version and Moto Z Force has Android 7.0 Nougat version.
Xiaomi Mi 5s has a CPU that is just as good as Moto Z Force's processor, they have the same number of cores and a 4 GB RAM. The Xiaomi Mi 5s has a slightly better display than Moto Z Force, although it has a lot lower resolution of 1080 x 1920, a just a little lower pixels density and a quite smaller screen.
The Motorola Moto Z Force takes clearer pictures and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5s, and although they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same video definition, the Motorola Moto Z Force also has a bigger diafragm aperture and a way better resolution back-facing camera. The Moto Z Force counts with a much better memory capacity for apps and games than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because although it has just 64 GB internal storage, it also counts with a slot for SD memory cards that holds a maximum of 1,95 TB.
The Motorola Moto Z Force counts with just a bit longer battery life than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because it has a 9 percent bigger battery capacity.
Although Xiaomi Mi 5s is a better device, it costs more than the Moto Z Force, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Moto Z Force. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the Xiaomi Mi 5s, else you can save a couple dollars and get the Moto Z Force, giving up a couple features and specifications.
