Motorola One 5G features a little bit better camera than Samsung Galaxy S21, because although it has a tinier back-facing camera sensor offering a worse image quality, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Motorola One 5G also counts with a larger camera aperture, faster video frame rate and a camera in the back with way more MP.
The Motorola One 5G has improved battery performance than Galaxy S21, because it has a 5000mAh battery capacity against 4000mAh.
