Comparison review

Even when Galaxy S20 FE and Xiaomi Black Shark 4 were only released with a few months difference, Galaxy S20 FE is thinner and a little bit lighter. These phones work with the same Android 11 OS, so you shouldn't see any difference regarding that.

Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has a sharper display than Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, because although it has a just a little inferior pixels number in each inch of display, and they both have the same exact 1080 x 2400 resolution, the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 also counts with a quite bigger display.
Xiaomi Black Shark 4 features a superior camera than Galaxy S20 FE, because although it has a smaller back-facing camera sensor, and they both have the same diafragm aperture, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same 60 frames per second video frame rates, the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 also counts with a much more MP back camera.
The Galaxy S20 FE features a way bigger storage capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, and although they both have the same internal memory, the Galaxy S20 FE also has a slot for an external memory card that allows up to 1000 GB.
