We couldn't find enough data on either product to be able to come to any reliable conclusions. We highly recommend that you take a look at some other options in the $500 and $290 budget ranges instead.

While the Moto Z4 (2019) wasn't able to make it to the very top of any roundups from sources that perform quality hands-on testing, it still got featured in a large number of them. PhoneArena, PCmag, Techradar, The Verge, Android Authority, and Android Central have all deemed it worthy of a place on their respective shortlists.

As for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (2016) - it was really well-received by reviewers at PCmag, a great source that's known for conducting high-quality in-depth testing. It performed great in its "The Best Phones and Tablets of MWC 2016" roundup and was named its "Ranked 1 out of 3", which, on its own, makes it a product that warrants a closer look.

We analyzed all of the review data that we could find on these two Smartphones. First, we examined sources that tested and scored both of these products - Techradar, Android Authority, PCmag, and Digitaltrends favored the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (2016) over the Moto Z4 (2019), whereas reviewers at PhoneArena haven't shown a preference for either.

It should be said that doing a direct Moto Z4 (2019) vs. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (2016) comparison might not be entirely fair due to the difference in their prices - some sources don't put much weight on value for money and thus tend to give better review scores to more expensive products.
