As far as the optics department is concerned, the modular phone LG G5 packs dual rear-camera, 16 MP and 8 MP, that features LED Flash, OIS (3-axis) and laser autofocus. The front shooter gets 8 MP camera and overall, LG G5 optic offers better quality with its wide-angle camera and the software featured in hardware. Not to mention, the Cam Plus mod would be an added value for photography enthusiasts.

For avid music listeners, Moto M packs Dolby Atmos system for audio enhancement but G5's Hi-Fi module perfectly fits the device to deliver incredible audio experience.

Moto M rocks 3,050 mAh battery - a huge capacity compared to G5 with only 2,800 mAh.
