These phones come with Android OS (operating system), but OnePlus 8 UW has older 10 version while nubia Z20 has Android 9.0 Pie version.
The OnePlus 8 UW features a bit more vivid display than nubia Z20, because it has a bit higher pixels density, a little bit larger display, a little higher 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution and a much brighter display. Nubia Z20 has just a little better performance than OnePlus 8 UW. Both have the same number of cores and a 8 GB RAM memory.
OnePlus 8 UW's memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos is very similar to nubia Z20's one, both have the same 128 GB internal storage capacity. OnePlus 8 UW takes just a bit better photographs and videos than nubia Z20, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is worse for shooting pictures and videos in low-light environments, and they both have the same (4K) video definition, a 48 MP back facing camera and the same sensor size, the OnePlus 8 UW also counts with better video frame rates.
The OnePlus 8 UW counts with a little better battery lifetime than nubia Z20, because it has an 8 percent greater battery capacity.
Although OnePlus 8 UW is a better device, it is way more expensive than the nubia Z20, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the nubia Z20. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the OnePlus 8 UW, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the nubia Z20, letting go some features and specifications.
