Comparison review

Both phones we compare here work with Android OS (operating system), but the Galaxy S6 Edge has an older 5.0 version and Moto Z3 has Android 9.0 Pie. Galaxy S6 Edge's design is somewhat lighter than the Moto Z3, although it's a little thicker and was released many years before.
The Galaxy S6 Edge has a bit better processing power than Motorola Moto Z3, because although it has 1 GB less RAM, and they both have the same number of cores, the Galaxy S6 Edge also counts with a 64-bit processor and an extra graphics processing unit. The Galaxy S6 Edge counts with a way better looking screen than Moto Z3, because although it has a quite smaller display, it also counts with a better resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and a higher pixels density.
Moto Z3 has a much better storage capacity for applications and games than Galaxy S6 Edge, because although it has just 64 GB internal memory, it also counts with an external memory card slot that supports up to 1,95 TB. The Moto Z3 takes better pictures and videos than Galaxy S6 Edge, although it has a tinier aperture which is not good for taking images or video in poorly lited environments, a much less mega-pixels resolution back facing camera, a worse video resolution and a smaller back-facing camera sensor giving a lower image quality.
The Moto Z3 has a little longer battery lifetime than Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity against 2600mAh.
Even being the best phone of the ones we compare here, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is also a bargain compared to the other ones, making it a great choice.
