Moto Z vs Galaxy S7 Review: Can Motorola Crush Samsung This Time?

Prakash

The Samsung Galaxy S7 continues to produce refined smartphones, while Motorola has introduced an out-of-the box device with Moto Mods in Motorola Moto Z. Which is the better flagship?

The Moto Z features glass on the front and back, with a smooth metal frame holding it all together, while the Galaxy S7 also has a metal and glass unibody construction. But unlike the Moto Z, you get the rounded corners.

The Moto Z comes with a slightly bigger screen of 5.5-inch AMOLED display, while the Galaxy S7 has a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED with Quad HD resolution. Both have Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection. The Samsung flagship has its 'Always On display' feature, while the Moto Z offers the next best thing with 'Moto Display'.

Under the hood, both smartphones feature the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, Adreno 530 GPU, and 4 GB of RAM.

Both smartphones are available with 32 GB or 64 GB of on-board storage with a microSD option for up to 256 GB in both.

The Moto Z comes with a USB Type C port, while the Galaxy S7 Edge features a microUSB port. The latter also comes with a headphone jack while the Moto Z does not. Sitting right below the display of both devices is a fingerprint scanner.

Speaking of Moto Mods like the JBL speaker, the projector, and the Incipio power pack case, but there should be more coming soon. These Moto Mods are certainly a big selling point when it comes to the Moto Z

Both comes with dust and water-proofing. When it comes to battery life, the Moto Z packs a rather small 2,600 mAh battery, compared to the 3,000 mAh unit of the Galaxy S7.

Both devices come with fast charging capabilities. If battery life is a concern, Motorola has a simple solution for the Moto Z with the Incipio power pack case,

The Moto Z comes with a 13 MP rear camera with a f/1.8 aperture, OIS, and a dual tone LED flash. On the other hand, the Galaxy S7 comes with a 12 MP rear shooter, f/1.7 aperture, OIS, and a blazing fast dual pixel auto focus system that allows it to focus much faster than any other smartphone camera currently available.

As far as the front cameras go, both phones are utilizing a 5 MP sensor, but the Moto Z has an advantage here with its front-facing flash.

The Moto Z is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The Galaxy S7 is also running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but Samsung's take on Android, with the TouchWiz UI.

Both the phones are a bang for a buck, but it comes down to your preference, like how much you value the Moto Mods. While Samsung Galaxy S7 is not a really out-of-the box phone like Moto Z but it certainly fulfill the needs for a normal daily life.
