Comparison review
The Nokia 9 PureView is slightly better than Asus ZenFone 5z, getting a 76.4 score against 75.3. Although it's the best we compare here, Nokia 9 PureView's construction is a little bit heavier and a little thicker than the Asus ZenFone 5z. The Nokia 9 PureView and Asus ZenFone 5z feature incredibly similar CPUs, and although the Nokia 9 PureView has 2 GB less RAM, they both have a Octa-Core processor.
The Nokia 9 PureView features a bit better looking screen than Asus ZenFone 5z, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a higher pixel number in each inch in the screen and a higher 1440 x 2880 pixels resolution. Asus ZenFone 5z features a much bigger memory capacity to store more games and applications than Nokia 9 PureView, because it has 128 GB more internal storage capacity and a slot for SD memory cards that holds up to 1,95 TB.
The Nokia 9 PureView shoots way better photographs and videos than Asus ZenFone 5z, although it has a tinier camera sensor taking less light and washed colors and worse 30 frames per second video frame rate, they both have a F1.8 camera aperture and the same 3840x2160 video resolution. Nokia 9 PureView features a battery lifetime that is very similar to Asus ZenFone 5z's battery lifetime, although the Nokia 9 PureView also has a 1 percent bigger battery capacity.
Although Nokia 9 PureView is a better device, it costs a lot more than Asus ZenFone 5z, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Asus ZenFone 5z. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy the Nokia 9 PureView, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Asus ZenFone 5z, resigning a couple features and specs.
