Compass or Gyro? Which is more useful?

[mildor]

I want to know... I can buy Moto x play with compass orMoto g4 plus with gyro...

None have both... can someone tell me please which is more useful

It depends on what you use the phone for. If you use it for a lot of outdoor activities (like hiking, biking, etc.), the compass might come in handy. If you use it for gaming and VR, the gyro will be more important.

Pretty sure the Moto G4 Plus should come with a compass, because G4 Play has a functional compass when using maps applications.

No moto G ever has had a magnetometer (compass)

You don't necessarily need a compass to determine direction -- I think you can use an accelerometer coupled with GPS to determine which way you're moving/facing.
