Synchronous Motors
The power factor of a synchronous motor is better than that of induction motor because

synchronous motor runs at synchronous speed
stator supply is relieved of responsibility of producing magnetic field
synchronous motor has large air gap
mechanical load on the motor can be adjusted

Synchronous Motors
As the load is applied to a synchronous motor, the motor takes more armature current because

The rotor strengthens the rotating field causing more motor current
The back e.m.f. decreases causing an increase in motor current
The increased load has to take more current
The rotor by shifting its phase backward causes motor to take more current
