Comparison review
The Google Pixel XL is a little bit better than nubia Red Magic 5S, having an 81.3 score against 76.2. Google Pixel XL's body is lighter and somewhat thinner than the nubia Red Magic 5S, despite of the fact that it was released many years before. The nubia Red Magic 5S features just a bit better performance than Google Pixel XL, because it has a larger number of cores (and they are faster) and more RAM.
The Google Pixel XL features a bit sharper display than nubia Red Magic 5S, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a greater screen density and a better 1440 x 2560px resolution. Google Pixel XL and nubia Red Magic 5S have extremely similar memory for apps and games, both of them have the same 128 GB internal memory.
The nubia Red Magic 5S shoots a lot better photographs and videos than Google Pixel XL, because it has a lot higher 7680x4320 video definition, a larger camera aperture, a lot more mega-pixels camera and a way bigger back camera sensor which gives a much better image and video quality. Nubia Red Magic 5S features greater battery life than Google Pixel XL, because it has a 30% greater battery size.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it costs a lot more money than nubia Red Magic 5S, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the nubia Red Magic 5S. If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy the nubia Red Magic 5S, letting go a couple features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
