These phones work with Android OS (Operating System), but Galaxy S6 edge+ has the previous 5.1 version and Moto Z has Android 8.0 Oreo. Even being the best phone we are comparing here, the Galaxy S6 edge+ construction is older, way thicker and somewhat heavier than Moto Z.
Galaxy S6 edge+ has a little more vivid display than Motorola Moto Z, because although it has a quite worse screen density, and they both have an equal resolution of 2560 x 1440px, the Galaxy S6 edge+ also counts with a bit larger display. Motorola Moto Z features a bit more powerful processing unit than Galaxy S6 edge+, and although they both have the same RAM memory amount, the Motorola Moto Z also has a greater number of faster cores.
Galaxy S6 edge+ counts with a slightly better camera than Moto Z, because although it has a smaller aperture, and they both have the same video frame rate and the same (4K) video definition, the Galaxy S6 edge+ also counts with a camera with a better 16 megapixels resolution. The Motorola Moto Z features a way bigger memory capacity for apps and games than Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with a SD memory slot that supports up to 1,95 TB.
The Galaxy S6 edge+ has just a bit better battery performance than Moto Z, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity against 2600mAh.
Although Galaxy S6 edge+ 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 the Motorola Moto Z. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the Galaxy S6 edge+, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Motorola Moto Z, letting go some specs and features.
