Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy S6 is better than the Moto Z, getting an 83.5 score against 74.5. Both devices in this comparison review have Android OS (Operating System), but Samsung Galaxy S6 has the older 5.0 version and Moto Z has Android 8.0 Oreo. Despite being the best phone we compare here, we must note that it is also older, thicker and just a bit heavier.
The Galaxy S6 has a better hardware performance than Moto Z, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with a 64 bits processor, an extra graphics processing unit and a larger number of cores (but slower). Galaxy S6 features a more vivid display than Motorola Moto Z, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, and they both have exactly the same resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, the Galaxy S6 also counts with a bit more pixels per inch of screen.
Motorola Moto Z counts with a much better memory capacity for games and applications than Galaxy S6, and although they both have exactly the same 32 GB internal storage, the Motorola Moto Z also has an external memory slot that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB. Galaxy S6's battery lifetime is just as good as the battery life in Moto Z, although the Galaxy S6 has a 2% smaller battery size.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 shoots just a bit better pictures and videos than Moto Z, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not favorable for low light images, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition and the same 30 frames per second video frame rate, the Samsung Galaxy S6 also counts with a higher resolution back-facing camera.
Despite of being the best phone between the ones we are comparing here, Galaxy S6 is also cheaper than the other phone.
