The Motorola Moto Z2 Play counts with much more memory to store more apps and games than Samsung Galaxy A6, because it has 32 GB more internal memory capacity and an external SD slot that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB.

Moto Z2 Play and Samsung Galaxy A6 feature extremely similar batteries duration. Galaxy A6 and Moto Z2 Play count with very similar cameras, and although the Galaxy A6 has a much more mega-pixels back camera, they both have the same (Full HD) video quality, a same size aperture and the same video frame rates.
Although Moto Z2 Play is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Samsung Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Samsung Galaxy A6.
