Comparison review
The Sony Xperia 5 III is much better than the Nokia 8 V 5G UW, with a 90.5 score against 80.3. Sony Xperia 5 III is a lighter and a bit thinner phone than Nokia 8 V 5G UW, even when both of them were released only a couple months apart. Both devices we are comparing here use Android OS (operating system), but Sony Xperia 5 III has the newer 11 version and Nokia 8 V 5G UW has Android 10 version.
Sony Xperia 5 III has a bit better hardware performance than Nokia 8 V 5G UW, and although they both have a Octa-Core processing unit, the Sony Xperia 5 III also has a greater amount of RAM. The Sony Xperia 5 III has just a bit better looking screen than Nokia 8 V 5G UW, because although it has a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a bit higher resolution of 1080 x 2520px and a quite greater pixel density.
Xperia 5 III has a way bigger storage capacity to install games and applications than Nokia 8 V 5G UW, because it has a slot for an external memory card that allows a maximum of 1 TB and more internal memory. Nokia 8 V 5G UW counts with a much better camera than Xperia 5 III, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not so good for capturing pictures in poorly lited environments and lower 60 fps video frame rates, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition and a same size sensor, the Nokia 8 V 5G UW also counts with a back facing camera with a lot better resolution.
Nokia 8 V 5G UW's battery lifetime is just as good as Xperia 5 III's battery duration.
