Comparison review
The iPhone 8 Plus has a general score of 87.1, which is much better than Motorola Moto Z Play's 74.4 general score. The iPhone 8 Plus body is newer, but somewhat heavier and just a little bit thicker than Motorola Moto Z Play. IPhone 8 Plus counts with a slightly better screen than Motorola Moto Z Play. Both of them have a better count of pixels per inch in the screen, exactly the same 1080 x 1920 resolution and a display with the same size.
Apple iPhone 8 Plus features a little bit more memory capacity to store more apps and games than Motorola Moto Z Play, because although it has no slot for SD memory cards, it also counts with 224 GB more internal memory capacity. Apple iPhone 8 Plus counts with a superior processor than Motorola Moto Z Play, because although it has an inferior number of cores (although faster), and they both have a 3 GB RAM, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus also counts with a 64 bits processor.
IPhone 8 Plus counts with just a bit better camera than Motorola Moto Z Play, because although it has a much worse 12 mega-pixels resolution back facing camera and a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, it also counts with a larger aperture to take better captures in low light situations. The Motorola Moto Z Play features longer battery duration than iPhone 8 Plus, because it has 3510mAh of battery capacity.
Although Apple iPhone 8 Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Moto Z Play, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Moto Z Play. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy Apple iPhone 8 Plus, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Moto Z Play, letting go a couple features and specifications.
