Moto Z3 has a bit better performance than Samsung Galaxy J7 Star, and although they both have a Octa-Core CPU, the Moto Z3 also has 2 GB more RAM memory.
The Moto Z3 captures a bit better photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy J7 Star, because although it has a smaller aperture and a lower 12 megapixels resolution back facing camera, it also counts with a way better (4K) video resolution and a bigger sensor taking higher quality photos and videos.
