Comparison review
Galaxy Note8 has an overall score of 83, which is just a bit better than the Moto Z Force's overall score of 75.8. The Galaxy Note8 body is newer than Moto Z Force's, but it is somewhat thicker and heavier. Both of these phones work with Android operating system, but Galaxy Note8 has a more recent 9.0 Pie version while Moto Z Force has Android 7.0 Nougat version, so it provides you a lot of extra features.
Galaxy Note8 features a bit better processing power than Motorola Moto Z Force, because it has more cores and a greater amount of RAM memory. Samsung Galaxy Note8 features a little bit better looking screen than Moto Z Force, because although it has a bit lower pixel density, it also counts with a quite larger display and a slightly higher 1440 x 2960 resolution.
The Motorola Moto Z Force has a slightly better camera than Samsung Galaxy Note8, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not favorable for taking photographs and video in low light situations, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and the same 30 frames per second video frame rate, the Motorola Moto Z Force also counts with a camera in the back with a much higher 21 mega pixels resolution.
The Moto Z Force features a much bigger memory capacity for apps and games than Samsung Galaxy Note8, and although they both have equal 64 GB internal memory, the Moto Z Force also has a slot for external memory cards that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB. Moto Z Force has a bit superior battery performance than Galaxy Note8, because it has 3500mAh of battery capacity.
Although Samsung Galaxy Note8 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Moto Z Force, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Moto Z Force. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy Samsung Galaxy Note8, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the Moto Z Force, letting go a couple features and specs.
