Points to consider

Even though the phone is all good, the Moto X Play still is powered by a chipset that was known to heat up quite quickly – the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, when compared to the Snapdragon 617 on the Galaxy S7 2016.

While the Moto X Play has a better battery capacity, it is also added up by the fast charging capability. This, for sure, is a feature where the Galaxy J7 2016 lags behind.

The rear camera is a subjective feature to compare here, because although there is a good 21-megapixel camera available on the back of Moto X Play, the Galaxy J7 2016’s 13-megapixel camera does a decent job with the color reproduction in most of the conditions.

Which is overall a better phone?

Again, just like how it is with any other devices, there is no perfect winner because a winner for you is the one that fits your requirements. You might have to choose the Moto X Play if a standard UI and a great battery is the priority, but go otherwise if a removable battery and a front-facing flash for selfies.

Another good Motorola phone against the Galaxy J7 2016 is the Moto G4 Plus, and you can check their comparison – Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 vs. Moto G4 Plus.
