Comparison review
The Galaxy Note 5 has a general score of 79.3, which is a little bit better than the Huawei P30 Lite's 77 overall score. Both of these phones come with Android OS (Operating System), but the Galaxy Note 5 has 5.1 version and Huawei P30 Lite has Android 9.0 Pie version. The Galaxy Note 5 design is extremely older, a little bit heavier and a little bit thicker than the Huawei P30 Lite.
The Huawei P30 Lite features a bit better CPU than Galaxy Note 5, and although they both have 4 GB of RAM, the Huawei P30 Lite also has a larger number of cores (and faster). The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 counts with a more vivid screen than Huawei P30 Lite, because although it has a bit smaller display, it also counts with a just a bit greater quantity of pixels in each inch of display and a better 2560 x 1440px resolution.
The Huawei P30 Lite counts with a much greater storage to store more games and applications than Galaxy Note 5, because it has a slot for external memory cards that allows up to 512 GB and more internal storage capacity. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 counts with a slightly better camera than Huawei P30 Lite, because although it has a much less megapixels back-facing camera, a way tinier sensor which gives a way worse image and video quality and a smaller camera aperture which is not good for shooting photographs and video in poorly lited environments, it also counts with a much higher 3840x2160 (4K) video quality.
Huawei P30 Lite features just a bit longer battery performance than Galaxy Note 5, because it has an 11 percent larger battery size.
The Galaxy Note 5 is not only the best phones of the ones we compare here, but it's also a bargain compared to the other ones, which makes it an easy decision.
