The Motorola edge takes much clearer photos and videos than Galaxy Note8, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not nice for taking photos and video in low light environments, and they both have the same video quality and the same video frame rates, the Motorola edge also counts with a much more mega pixels camera and a way larger back camera sensor.
The Motorola edge costs more money than the Galaxy Note8, but you can get a better phone for that few extra dollars.
