Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus is just a bit better than Moto G Power, getting a 78.1 score against 76.1. These phones include Android OS (Operating System), but Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus has a newer 4.4.2 version and Moto G Power has Android 11 version, so it offers some extra features. Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus's body is extremely lighter and somewhat thinner than the Moto G Power, even though it was released many years before.
Galaxy S5 Plus counts with a little faster CPU than Moto G Power, because although it has a lower number of cores (although they are faster) and less RAM, it also counts with a graphics processor. The Galaxy S5 Plus features a better screen than Moto G Power, because although it has a way smaller display and a little bit worse 1920 x 1080 resolution, it also counts with a just a bit better number of pixels per inch in the screen.
The Moto G Power features a much better memory for applications and games than Galaxy S5 Plus, because it has 64 GB internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards that holds a maximum of 512 GB. The Motorola Moto G Power shoots clearer videos and photos than Galaxy S5 Plus, because although it has a smaller camera sensor, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution, a 16 megapixels back-facing camera and the same video frame rate, the Motorola Moto G Power also counts with a lot larger aperture to take better captures in low light situations.
The Motorola Moto G Power counts with a superior battery performance than Galaxy S5 Plus, because it has a 79% larger battery capacity.
Although Galaxy S5 Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Motorola Moto G Power, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Motorola Moto G Power. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the Galaxy S5 Plus, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the Motorola Moto G Power, giving up some specifications.
