LG V30S ThinQ has a bit faster processing unit than Moto Z Play, and although they both have 8 CPU cores, the LG V30S ThinQ also has a larger amount of RAM memory. The LG V30S ThinQ has a little more vivid screen than Moto Z Play, because it has a much higher resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels, more pixels per inch in the screen and a bit bigger screen.
The LG V30S ThinQ has a little bit better camera than Moto Z Play, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition, the same resolution back facing camera and the same 30 fps video frame rate, the LG V30S ThinQ also has a bigger camera aperture to capture better low light captures.

Moto Z Play features a little longer battery duration than LG V30S ThinQ, because it has a 6 percent more battery capacity.
Although LG V30S ThinQ is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Moto Z Play, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Moto Z Play. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy LG V30S ThinQ, else you can save a couple dollars and get the Moto Z Play, letting go some features and specs.
