Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy S20 is much better than the nubia Z20, having a 94.8 score against 71.9. Even when Samsung Galaxy S20 and nubia Z20 were only released with a couple months difference, Samsung Galaxy S20 is somewhat thinner and lighter. Both phones we are comparing here come with Android OS, but Samsung Galaxy S20 has 13 version and nubia Z20 has Android 9.0 Pie.
The Galaxy S20 counts with a little bit better display than nubia Z20, because although it has a bit smaller display, it also counts with a higher resolution of 1440 x 3200px and a better screen pixel density. Samsung Galaxy S20's CPU is just as good as the nubia Z20 one, and although the Samsung Galaxy S20 has 4 GB more RAM memory, they both have the same number of cores.
The nubia Z20 captures a bit better pictures and videos than Galaxy S20, because although it has a tinier camera sensor taking less light and washed colors and slower video frame rate, and they both have the same video definition, the nubia Z20 also counts with a back camera with a much higher resolution and a bigger diafragm aperture to take better low light captures and videos.
Samsung Galaxy S20 counts with a very superior memory capacity for games and applications than nubia Z20, and although they both have exactly the same 128 GB internal memory capacity, the Samsung Galaxy S20 also has a slot for external memory cards that supports a maximum of 1000 GB. The Galaxy S20 counts with a battery duration that is very similar to the battery lifetime in nubia Z20.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 is way more expensive than nubia Z20, but you can get a much better phone for that extra dollars.
