Camera

While we are yet to see how the C9 Pro performs camera-wise, the fact that there is a bigger better lens on both the primary and front camera should augur well for the C9 Pro. The Moto Z camera performance on the other hand does not disappoint either, even in night-time shots.

Which to Buy? Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro vs Moto Z

The Moto Z is known to get hot in heavy usage and only supports a hybrid SIM slot. On the plus side, its lighter and allows options to add Mods to enhance performance. The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro has 53% more battery capacity, better pixel density, a vastly bigger screen, and a more powerful processor. And its all for a price that is far cheaper than the Moto Z. So, which one should you buy? The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro wins this battle hands down.
