The Moto Z2 Play counts with a lot bigger memory capacity for applications and games than Galaxy Note8, and although they both have the same 64 GB internal memory, the Moto Z2 Play also has a SD memory card expansion slot that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB. Samsung Galaxy Note8 counts with a little bit better performance than Moto Z2 Play, and although they both have 8 cores, the Samsung Galaxy Note8 also has a larger amount of RAM memory.
