Comparison review
The Xiaomi Mi 6 has an overall score of 76.5, which is just a bit better than the Motorola Moto Z Play's global score of 74.4. Although it's the best phone in our current comparison, it must be noted that it is also a bit thicker and just a bit heavier. Xiaomi Mi 6 has just a little better performance than Moto Z Play, and although they both have a Octa-Core processor, the Xiaomi Mi 6 also has a larger amount of RAM memory.
The Xiaomi Mi 6 features just a bit better screen than Moto Z Play, because although it has a little smaller display, and they both have an equal resolution of 1080 x 1920px, the Xiaomi Mi 6 also counts with a little bit greater pixel number in each inch in the display. The Xiaomi Mi 6 counts with a camera that is very similar to the camera in Moto Z Play, because although the Xiaomi Mi 6 has a back facing camera with a much lower resolution and a worse (4K) video quality, it also counts with a larger camera aperture to capture better low light captures.
Moto Z Play has a way bigger storage to store more games and applications than Xiaomi Mi 6, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with a SD memory slot that holds up to 1,95 TB. The Moto Z Play counts with a bit superior battery life than Xiaomi Mi 6, because it has 3510mAh of battery capacity.
Although Xiaomi Mi 6 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Motorola Moto Z Play, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Motorola Moto Z Play. If you prefer to save some money, you can buy the Motorola Moto Z Play, giving up a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most out of your savings.
