The Motorola Moto Z4 shoots better photos and videos than Google Pixel 3a, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 video quality, the Motorola Moto Z4 also has a larger diafragm aperture, a way bigger back camera sensor taking lot higher quality videos and photos and a much more mega pixels back camera.
The Motorola Moto Z4 features better battery performance than Google Pixel 3a, because it has 3600mAh of battery capacity.
Although Motorola Moto Z4 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Google Pixel 3a, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Google Pixel 3a.
