Comparison review
Xiaomi Black Shark has an overall score of 80.4, which is a little bit better than the ZTE Axon 10s Pro's 76.6 general score. Although the Xiaomi Black Shark is better than the ZTE Axon 10s Pro, we must highlight that it is also older, just a little bit heavier and thicker. These phones come with the same Android 9.0 Pie OS (operating system).
Xiaomi Black Shark has a little bit better looking screen than ZTE Axon 10s Pro, because although it has a little bit smaller display and a little lower 1080 x 2160px resolution, it also counts with a bit more pixels per display inch. The ZTE Axon 10s Pro's processing unit is very similar to the Xiaomi Black Shark one, and although the ZTE Axon 10s Pro has a smaller amount of RAM, they both have a Octa-Core processor.
ZTE Axon 10s Pro features a lot bigger storage to install applications and games than Xiaomi Black Shark, and although they both have the same 128 GB internal storage capacity, the ZTE Axon 10s Pro also has a SD extension slot that holds a maximum of 1000 GB. The ZTE Axon 10s Pro captures slightly better photographs and videos than Xiaomi Black Shark, and although they both have the same video frame rate and the same video quality, the ZTE Axon 10s Pro also has a larger aperture for better low light images and video, a much larger back camera sensor shooting lot better quality pictures and videos and a back-facing camera with way more mega pixels.
The ZTE Axon 10s Pro's battery performance is just as good as Xiaomi Black Shark's battery life.
