Comparison review
The Xperia 5 III has a general score of 90.5, which is a bit better than the Xiaomi Poco F4's score of 87.5. Both phones we are comparing here work with Android OS (operating system), but the Xperia 5 III has older 11 version while Xiaomi Poco F4 has Android 12 version. Xperia 5 III is an older and a bit thicker cellphone than the Xiaomi Poco F4, but Sony was able to build it somewhat lighter anyway.
The Xiaomi Poco F4 counts with a little more vivid display than Xperia 5 III, because although it has a little lower 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution and a bit lower display density, it also counts with a little bigger display. Sony Xperia 5 III has a lot bigger memory to install games and applications than Xiaomi Poco F4, because it has a slot for external memory cards that holds a maximum of 1 TB and 128 GB more internal storage capacity.
The Xiaomi Poco F4 counts with a little faster processing unit than Xperia 5 III, although it has a lower amount of RAM, they both have a Octa-Core processor. The Xiaomi Poco F4 counts with a slightly better camera than Sony Xperia 5 III, because although it has a smaller back camera sensor shooting worse quality images and videos, a tinier diafragm aperture which is not favorable for taking photos and video in low light environments and lower 30 frames per second video frame rate, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition, the Xiaomi Poco F4 also counts with a much more mega pixels back-facing camera.
Xiaomi Poco F4's battery lifetime is very similar to the battery life in Sony Xperia 5 III.
