IPhone 6s Plus Vs. Moto Z Face-Off: Full Comparison

The iPhone 6s Plus released in September 2015 and the Moto Z, yet to be released, are approaching the smartphone markets from opposite ends of the spectrum. While iPhone relies on its universal premium quality, Moto Z appealing new handset may be the simplest and most logical take on the modular smartphone to date, adding new looks or features just by snapping on a back plate.

Can Motorola’s flagship shake up smartphone industry stagnation? Time for an iPhone 6s Plus vs, Moto Z face-off.

Size: The iPhone 6s Plus’s dimensions was a bit larger, just because of its bigger forehead.

The Moto Z is incredibly thin – 29 percent thinner than the iPhone – but keep in mind that this measurement is with noneof the modular back plates attached. The back plates, of course, are the main appeal!

In terms of size, the Moto Z is comparatively lighter. But that again is not considering the optional mods.

The build and the colour (factory defaults) are more or less the same. The base smartphone part of the Moto Z is made of aluminum and steel, while Apple’s aluminum unibody design has been standard on iPhones (and most other Apple products) since 2012.

Though we’re looking at four factory color options for each phone, the Moto Z will have many more back color options once you factor in the mods – some of which are purely stylistic (“Style Shells”).

One thing Moto Z has going for it is its killer modularity, which Apple hugely lacks. We also saw LG swing for the fence this year with a modular flagship, but so far we prefer Motorola’s approach: snap magnetic plate onto back, enjoy upgraded phone. The LG G5 requires you to rip the phone’s entire bottom section off.

Both the phones have a display screen size of 5.5 inches, though Moto Z offers AMOLED and iPhone IPS displays. The resolutions differ and based on pixel density, the Moto Z’s display is 33 percent sharper.

Apple is known, though, for scoring high marks in other aspects of its displays, like white balance, color and brightness. So overall screen quality is still a highlight of the iPhone 6s Plus, despite the lack of QHD resolution.
