Comparison review
The Xiaomi Mi 6 has a global score of 76.5, which is a little bit better than the Moto Z's score of 74.5. Despite being the best in this comparison review, it must be noted that it is also extremely thicker and somewhat heavier. Xiaomi Mi 6 counts with a bit faster CPU than Moto Z, because it has a higher amount of RAM and a larger number of faster cores.
The Xiaomi Mi 6 has a little more vivid display than Motorola Moto Z, although it has a bit smaller screen, a little bit lower pixels density and a way worse 1080 x 1920 resolution. The Xiaomi Mi 6 has a little bit better camera than Moto Z, although it has a lesser mega pixels camera in the back and a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, they both have the same aperture.
The Motorola Moto Z counts with a much greater memory capacity to install games and applications than Xiaomi Mi 6, because although it has just 32 GB internal memory, it also counts with a slot for an SD memory card that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB. The Xiaomi Mi 6 features greater battery lifetime than Motorola Moto Z, because it has 3350mAh of battery capacity.
Although Xiaomi Mi 6 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Motorola Moto Z, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Motorola Moto Z. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy the Xiaomi Mi 6, else you can save some money and get the Motorola Moto Z, letting go a couple specifications.
