Comparison review
LG V30S ThinQ has a general score of 82.5, which is better than Moto Z's general score of 74.5. Although LG V30S ThinQ is newer than Moto Z, it is notably thicker and somewhat heavier. Both phones we are comparing have the same Android 8.0 Oreo OS (operating system), so both of them should count with very similar OS features.
LG V30S ThinQ counts with just a bit better looking display than Motorola Moto Z, because it has a quite larger display, a just a little greater display density and a quite better resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels. The LG V30S ThinQ features a way bigger memory to store more games and applications than Motorola Moto Z, and although they both have a SD memory slot that allows up to 1,95 TB, the LG V30S ThinQ also has 96 GB more internal storage capacity.
The LG V30S ThinQ features just a bit better hardware performance than Moto Z, because it has more RAM and a greater number of cores. LG V30S ThinQ counts with better battery life than Moto Z, because it has a 27 percent more battery size. LG V30S ThinQ features a slightly better camera than Moto Z, and although they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the LG V30S ThinQ also has a better 16 mega-pixels resolution back-facing camera and a bigger aperture to take better low-light photos and videos.
Although LG V30S ThinQ is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Motorola Moto Z, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Motorola Moto Z. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy LG V30S ThinQ, else you can save some money and buy the Motorola Moto Z, giving up some features and specifications.
