Comparison review
Google Pixel has a global score of 80.2, which is just a bit better than the Motorola Moto Z2 Play's general score of 77.4. Even though Google Pixel and the Motorola Moto Z2 Play were released only a couple of months apart, the Google Pixel body is extremely thicker but also a bit lighter than the Motorola Moto Z2 Play.
The Google Pixel counts with just a bit better display than Moto Z2 Play, because although it has a quite smaller screen, and they both have the same exact resolution of 1080 x 1920px, the Google Pixel also counts with a little bit more pixels per inch of screen. The Motorola Moto Z2 Play has a bit faster CPU than Google Pixel, and although they both have a 4 GB RAM memory, the Motorola Moto Z2 Play also has a higher number of faster cores.
The Google Pixel counts with a slightly better camera than Motorola Moto Z2 Play, because although it has a smaller aperture, and they both have the same (4K) video quality and the same 30 fps video frame rate, the Google Pixel also counts with a more megapixels camera in the back. The Moto Z2 Play features a superior storage to store more games and applications than Google Pixel, because although it has less internal memory capacity, it also counts with an external memory slot that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB.
Motorola Moto Z2 Play counts with a little longer battery duration than Google Pixel, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity.
Although Google Pixel is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Moto Z2 Play, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Moto Z2 Play. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the Moto Z2 Play, giving up a few features and specs, but you'll get the most with your money.
