Nubia Red Magic 3S features a screen that's very similar to the screen in Xperia XZs, because although the nubia Red Magic 3S has a just a bit less pixels per screen inch, it also counts with a larger screen and a slightly higher resolution of 1080 x 2340.
The nubia Red Magic 3S counts with a bit better processor than Xperia XZs, because it has a higher number of cores (and also faster) and 8 GB more RAM memory. The nubia Red Magic 3S features a much bigger memory capacity to store more games and applications than Xperia XZs, because although it has no slot for an external memory card, it also counts with more internal storage capacity.
Nubia Red Magic 3S features a superior battery lifetime than Xperia XZs, because it has 5000mAh of battery capacity. The Xperia XZs shoots slightly better photographs and videos than nubia Red Magic 3S, although it has a much worse (4K) video resolution, a tinier diafragm aperture which is not nice for low light images and videos, a smaller sensor taking lower quality videos and pictures and a way worse resolution camera in the back.
Although Xperia XZs is a better device, it costs more money than nubia Red Magic 3S, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the nubia Red Magic 3S. If you want to save some dollars, you can buy nubia Red Magic 3S, letting go a few features and specifications, but you will get the most out of your money.
