Comparison review
The Xperia 1 III has a general score of 93.3, which is a lot better than the Galaxy A20's score of 74.7. Both phones in this review come with the same Android 11 OS (operating system), so they should offer identical operating system features. The Xperia 1 III body is extremely newer than Galaxy A20's, although it's just a little heavier and a little thicker.
Sony Xperia 1 III features a bit better processor than Samsung Galaxy A20, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Sony Xperia 1 III also has a larger amount of RAM memory. The Xperia 1 III counts with a much sharper screen than Galaxy A20, because it has a much greater count of pixels per inch in the screen, a much better 1644 x 3840 pixels resolution and a little bigger screen.

The Sony Xperia 1 III shoots greater photographs and videos than Samsung Galaxy A20, because although it has a camera with a lower 12 megapixels resolution, it also counts with a larger aperture, a way bigger back-facing camera sensor providing a way better image quality and a way better video resolution.
The Sony Xperia 1 III has just a little better battery duration than Galaxy A20, because it has a 4500mAh battery size.
Although Sony Xperia 1 III is a better device, it is way more expensive than Galaxy A20, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Galaxy A20. If you want to save some money, you can buy the Galaxy A20, giving up a few features and specifications, but you'll get the most with your budget.
