Comparison review
Google Pixel 4a is a bit better than the nubia Red Magic 5S, getting an 82.9 score against 76.2. Both of these phones include Android OS (Operating System), but the Google Pixel 4a has the newer 11 version while nubia Red Magic 5S has Android 10, so it counts with a couple nice extra features. Google Pixel 4a's body is noticeably lighter and thinner than the nubia Red Magic 5S, even though they were released with only a few months difference.
Nubia Red Magic 5S features a bit better CPU than Google Pixel 4a, and although they both have a Octa-Core processing unit, the nubia Red Magic 5S also has 2 GB more RAM memory. Nubia Red Magic 5S counts with a little sharper screen than Google Pixel 4a, because although it has a bit less pixels per inch in the display, and they both have exactly the same 1080 x 2340 resolution, the nubia Red Magic 5S also counts with a larger screen.
The nubia Red Magic 5S takes greater photographs and videos than Google Pixel 4a, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not nice for shooting photographs and videos in low-light situations, it also counts with a back facing camera with a lot better 64 MP resolution, a lot bigger sensor providing a way better image quality and a way higher 7680x4320 video resolution.
The Google Pixel 4a's memory capacity to store more apps and games is just as good as nubia Red Magic 5S's one, both of them have the same 128 GB internal memory.
