Comparison review
The Xiaomi Black Shark has an overall score of 80.4, which is a little bit better than the Huawei Mate 20's 79.5 score. Both devices we are comparing here have the same Android 9.0 Pie OS (Operating System), so both should provide the user all the same operating system features. Even being the best in our current comparison, we must note that it's also a just a little bit thicker and just a bit heavier cellphone.
The Xiaomi Black Shark counts with a little faster processing unit than Huawei Mate 20, and although they both have 8 cpu cores, the Xiaomi Black Shark also has more RAM memory. Huawei Mate 20 counts with a little bit better screen than Xiaomi Black Shark, because although it has a little worse pixel number per inch of display, it also counts with a slightly better 1080 x 2244 resolution, a bit larger screen and a brighter display.
The Huawei Mate 20 and Xiaomi Black Shark both count with really similar storage to install games and applications, both have equal internal storage. The Huawei Mate 20 has a slightly better camera than Xiaomi Black Shark, and although they both have a 12 mega pixels resolution back camera, the same 30 fps video frame rates, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality and a F1.8 aperture, the Huawei Mate 20 also has a way bigger back-facing camera sensor.
Huawei Mate 20's battery duration is just as good as Xiaomi Black Shark's battery lifetime.
