Comparison review
IPhone XS Max is better than the Motorola Moto Z3 Play, having a general score of 84.5 against 76.3. Although it's the best we compare here, it must be told that it's also a just a little bit thicker and much heavier device. The iPhone XS Max has a superior processing power than Motorola Moto Z3 Play, because although it has less cpu cores (although faster), and they both have a 4 GB RAM memory, the iPhone XS Max also counts with a 64 bits processor.
IPhone XS Max counts with a better looking screen than Motorola Moto Z3 Play, because it has a little larger screen, a better resolution of 1242 x 2688px and a just a bit better pixel density. Moto Z3 Play features a much better memory capacity to store more games and applications than Apple iPhone XS Max, and although they both have equal 64 GB internal memory capacity, the Moto Z3 Play also has an external memory card slot that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB.
IPhone XS Max features just a little bit longer battery performance than Moto Z3 Play, because it has a 6% more battery size. The Apple iPhone XS Max shoots a bit better photographs and videos than Motorola Moto Z3 Play, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not favorable for taking photographs and/or video in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same camera sensor size, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and the same resolution camera in the back, the Apple iPhone XS Max also counts with higher video frame rates.
Although Apple iPhone XS Max is a better device, it costs a lot more than Moto Z3 Play, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Moto Z3 Play. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy Apple iPhone XS Max, else you can save some money and get the Moto Z3 Play, giving up some features and specs.
