Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is a little bit better than the Sony Xperia 5 II, getting a 90.8 score against 87.2.

The Sony Xperia 5 II counts with a little more vivid display than Samsung Galaxy Note 20, because although it has a bit smaller screen, it also counts with a quite better 1080 x 2520px resolution and a little bit better display density. The Xperia 5 II features a way bigger memory to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Galaxy Note 20, and although they both have the same internal memory, the Xperia 5 II also has an external memory card slot that supports a maximum of 1000 GB.
Galaxy Note 20 counts with a camera that's very similar to the camera in Sony Xperia 5 II, because although the Galaxy Note 20 has a smaller camera sensor and a tinier aperture which is worse for low-light captures, and they both have a 12 MP back facing camera, it also counts with a way better video resolution.
