The nubia Red Magic 5S and Huawei P40 Pro both count with extremely similar processors, both have 8 GB of RAM memory and the same number of cores. The Huawei P40 Pro shoots just a bit better videos and photos than nubia Red Magic 5S, because although it has a lot worse 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, a tinier aperture which is not favorable for taking images or videos in poorly lited situations and a way lower 50 MP resolution back camera, it also counts with a way larger sensor which offers a much higher photo and video quality.
