Comparison review
Galaxy S7 Active has a global score of 75.8, which is slightly better than Huawei P20 Lite's 75.4 score. Even being the best in this comparison review, it must be told that it is also an older, much thicker and noticeably heavier cellphone. The Galaxy S7 Active features a much better looking display than Huawei P20 Lite, because although it has a quite smaller screen, it also counts with more pixels per inch of screen and a higher 1440 x 2560 resolution.
Huawei P20 Lite has a little bit better processing power than Samsung Galaxy S7 Active, and although they both have a 4 GB RAM, the Huawei P20 Lite also has a larger number of faster cores. The Huawei P20 Lite counts with a much greater memory capacity for games and applications than Galaxy S7 Active, because it has an external memory slot that supports up to 256 GB and 64 GB internal memory capacity.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active features just a bit better camera than Huawei P20 Lite, because although it has a lot less megapixels back facing camera, it also counts with a much higher video resolution and a way bigger aperture. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active counts with better battery lifetime than Huawei P20 Lite, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity against 3000mAh.
Although Galaxy S7 Active is a better device, it costs more than the Huawei P20 Lite, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Huawei P20 Lite. So if you want that extra features, you can buy Galaxy S7 Active, but if you don't you can save some money and buy the Huawei P20 Lite, resigning a couple specs and features.
