Comparison review
The Xperia 5 II is much better than the nubia Red Magic 5G, getting a score of 87.2 against 75.7. The Xperia 5 II is a extremely lighter and somewhat thinner device than the nubia Red Magic 5G, even when they were only released with a few months difference. The nubia Red Magic 5G counts with a bit better looking display than Sony Xperia 5 II, because although it has a quite inferior pixels number in each display inch and a bit worse 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution, it also counts with a quite bigger display.
Nubia Red Magic 5G and Xperia 5 II feature very similar CPUs, both of them have the same RAM amount and a Octa-Core processing unit. Nubia Red Magic 5G shoots better videos and photos than Sony Xperia 5 II, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not favorable for capturing photographs and video in poorly lited situations and slower 60 fps video frame rates, and they both have the same video definition and the same back-facing camera sensor size, the nubia Red Magic 5G also counts with a way more mega pixels back-facing camera.
Xperia 5 II counts with a lot bigger storage capacity for apps and games than nubia Red Magic 5G, and although they both have exactly the same 128 GB internal memory capacity, the Xperia 5 II also has a SD memory card expansion slot that holds a maximum of 1000 GB. The nubia Red Magic 5G counts with just a little bit longer battery lifetime than Xperia 5 II, because it has a 13 percent greater battery capacity.
