Choose your internal space wisely as none of them support card expansion microSD. Point to Motorola for having a more powerful processor.

cameras

One point where there are some differences between these two devices is in their cameras. In both devices we have a triple set. However, in Motorola we have a sensor principal of 50MP f/1.8 capable of recording video at up to 8K30a sensor ultrawide of 13MP f/2.2 with autofocus for macros and a sensor of depth of 2MP f/2.4 as a third alternative.

no longer Galaxy S21 FE Samsung was more conservative in terms of megapixels, but the device delivers better results, especially in low light. the sensor principal count with 12MP f/1.8 that records in up to 4K60o sensor ultrawide also have 12MP although with f/2.2 aperture a little smaller and the third lens is one of 10MP f/2.4 which is used for photos with zoom the 3x approximation without loss of quality.
