My Choice
If I were choosing between these two phones, I would choose the Oppo Find X3 Pro. While the Moto G 5G may offer slightly better battery life (and that is not confirmed by the data as we do not have brightness), the Oppo Find X3 Pro simply offers a much more premium experience in nearly every other aspect. Its superior display, significantly faster performance, better camera system, much faster charging, more storage, newer OS and higher-quality build are well worth the extra cost if it fits the budget.
