These devices use Android OS (Operating System), but the Xperia PRO has an older 10 version and Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has Android 11 version. The Xperia PRO construction is just a bit heavier but a little thinner than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, and both of them were released only a couple of months apart.
The Xperia PRO features a bit sharper display than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, because although it has a bit smaller display, it also counts with much more pixels per inch in the screen and a way better 1644 x 3840px resolution. Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has a bit faster processor than Xperia PRO. Both have the same number of cores and 8 GB of RAM memory.
Sony Xperia PRO counts with a much better memory capacity to store more apps and games than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, because it has a SD extension slot that admits a maximum of 1 TB and 512 GB internal storage. The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 counts with a little longer battery lifetime than Xperia PRO, because it has 4500mAh of battery capacity instead of 4000mAh.
The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 takes better photographs and videos than Xperia PRO, because although it has a smaller back-facing camera sensor shooting lower quality videos and images and a smaller camera aperture, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution and the same video frame rate, the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 also counts with a camera with lot more MP.
Although Xperia PRO is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Xiaomi Black Shark 4, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Xiaomi Black Shark 4. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy the Xperia PRO, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Xiaomi Black Shark 4, giving up a couple features and specifications.
