The Sony Xperia 5 II and the Huawei P40 Pro feature incredibly similar screens, because although the Huawei P40 Pro has a quite worse pixels density, it also counts with a little larger screen and a little higher 1200 x 2640px resolution. Xperia 5 II has much more memory for apps and games than Huawei P40 Pro, and although they both have exactly the same internal memory, the Xperia 5 II also has a SD extension slot that supports a maximum of 1000 GB.
The Huawei P40 Pro has a little better battery life than Sony Xperia 5 II, because it has a 4200mAh battery size.
