Comparison review
The Xperia 5 III is much better than the Nokia XR20, having a 90.5 score against 80.8. Even though Xperia 5 III and the Nokia XR20 were released only a couple of months apart, Xperia 5 III is noticeably thinner and extremely lighter. These phones work with the same Android 11 OS (operating system), so both should provide the same OS features.
The Nokia XR20 has just a bit better looking screen than Xperia 5 III, because although it has a little bit worse resolution of 1080 x 2400px and a just a bit inferior number of pixels per display inch, it also counts with a bit larger screen. The Sony Xperia 5 III has a superior memory for games and applications than Nokia XR20, because it has an external SD slot that admits a maximum of 1 TB and 128 GB more internal storage capacity.
Xperia 5 III counts with a little faster CPU than Nokia XR20, and although they both have a Octa-Core processing unit, the Xperia 5 III also has a greater amount of RAM memory. The Nokia XR20 counts with a little better battery performance than Xperia 5 III, because it has a 4630mAh battery capacity.
The Sony Xperia 5 III and the Nokia XR20 have very similar cameras, because although the Nokia XR20 has a way smaller back-facing camera sensor which provides a much lower photo and video quality, slower 60 frames per second video frame rates and a smaller aperture which is not recommended for low light photos, and they both have the same (Full HD) video definition, it also counts with a much more MP back facing camera.
