Comparison review
Xiaomi Black Shark 2 is a bit better than the ZTE Axon 20, with an 82.3 score against 77.8. Although it's the best in this review, the Xiaomi Black Shark 2 body is older, a little heavier and thicker than the ZTE Axon 20. Both of these phones have the same Android 10 OS (operating system), so you shouldn't see any differences regarding that.
Xiaomi Black Shark 2 has just a little better performance than ZTE Axon 20. They have the same RAM amount and the same number of cores. The Xiaomi Black Shark 2 features just a bit better looking display than ZTE Axon 20, because although it has a quite lower 1080 x 2340 resolution and a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a just a bit more pixels per inch of screen.
The Xiaomi Black Shark 2's memory capacity for games and applications is just as good as ZTE Axon 20's one, both have equal internal storage capacity. ZTE Axon 20 features just a bit longer battery life than Xiaomi Black Shark 2, because it has a 6 percent more battery size. ZTE Axon 20 takes slightly better pictures and videos than Xiaomi Black Shark 2, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not nice for shooting pictures and video in poorly lited environments, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, the ZTE Axon 20 also counts with a bigger camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors, better 60 frames per second video frame rate and a way higher resolution camera.
