Xiaomi Mi A2 has a much better storage for apps and games than Galaxy Note 5, because it has 64 GB more internal storage.
Galaxy Note 5 has a slightly better camera than Xiaomi Mi A2, because although it has a smaller aperture which is worse for taking images and video in low light environments, and they both have the same (4K) video definition and the same video frame rate, the Galaxy Note 5 also counts with a larger back-facing camera sensor which provides a better image and video quality and a much better 16 mega-pixels resolution camera.
