Moto Z2 Force by Lenovo vs LG V30

Building on the available accessories from the first generation Moto Z phones, now you can instantly attach a 360 degree camera, game controller, JBL stereo speakers, 10x zoom Hasselblad camera, InstaShare projector, or Battery Boost packs to the back of the phone thanks to embedded rear magnets and pogo pins.

The phone's accelerometer and infrared sensors work in tandem to sense when you handle the device and strategically wake the screen with a clock and your notifications for a few seconds, keeping you updated as information arrives without a noticeable drain on the battery.

Just 6.1mm thick and sporting a 7000-series aircraft grade aluminum frame, this phone is both strong and stylish, offered in several metallic color finishes.

Motorola by Lenovo actually guarantees the front display won't crack for four years from date of purchase, trusting that the 5-layer ShatterShield design can withstand all but the most obscene levels of abuse.

The 16MP primary camera offers an impressive f/1.6 aperture that on paper and somewhat in reality puts this phone's camera above most of the competition for pictures in low-lighting conditions. However, it does not provide the best results in low-light conditions, that title belongs to the S8 and Pixel phones.

Where V30's camera truly shines though, is providing the correct balance for lighting and contrast for dim shots, like for example taking pictures at dusk.

The V30 comes with a great QuadDAC connected to its 3.5mm headphone jack and with some clever software to bring the most out of it. Most of the time the built-in software intelligently deciphers the kind of headphones you are using in order to deliver the best sound possible to you, but if you want to, you can manually configure the sound settings in the software yourself as well.

The V30 has a gorgeous 6-inch OLED with a 1440p resolution. It displays rich, lifelike colours and the overall contrast offers a great degree of depth to the images displayed on the screen.

The 4GB of RAM paired with the Snapdragon 835 offer an excellent performance. There's virtually zero lag when switching apps or when playing games or doing any other heavy activities.

The 3300mAh battery performs excellently. Watching a 90-minute HD movie only makes the battery drop to 87% (other smartphones drop by at least 20%). By the end a typical day you can expect the phone to have 40%-50% battery left.

LG have managed to increase the size of the screen by half an inch compared to the V20 without changing the overall size of the phone. They managed to do this by decreasing the size of the margins like so many other flagships nowadays.
