Moto Z Force shoots a bit better photos and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5s, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same 30 fps video frame rate, the Moto Z Force also has a back camera with a much better resolution and a larger diafragm aperture. Motorola Moto Z Force features much more memory capacity for apps and games than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because although it has just 64 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with an external SD slot that supports up to 1,95 TB.
Motorola Moto Z Force has just a little bit longer battery performance than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because it has a 3500mAh battery size instead of 3200mAh.
Although Xiaomi Mi 5s is a better device, it costs more money than the Moto Z Force, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Moto Z Force. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the Xiaomi Mi 5s, else you can save some dollars and buy the Moto Z Force, letting go a couple specifications.
