Comparison review
The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has a score of 88.3, which is just a bit better than Xperia 10 III's 83.7 general score. Both phones we compare here work with the same Android 11 OS, so you shouldn't see any differences regarding OS features. Even being the best phone in our current comparison, it must be noted that it's also somewhat thicker and somewhat heavier.
Xiaomi Black Shark 4 features just a bit better display than Xperia 10 III, because although it has a just a bit lower pixels number in each inch of display and a bit lower resolution of 1080 x 2400, it also counts with a quite larger display. Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has just a little better performance than Sony Xperia 10 III, and although they both have 8 cpu cores, the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 also has a greater amount of RAM memory.
The Xperia 10 III has a way bigger memory for games and applications than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, and although they both have equal 128 GB internal memory capacity, the Xperia 10 III also has a SD memory card expansion slot that supports up to 1 TB.
