Which should you buy, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G or Meizu 16s Pro? We offer a thorough comparison of the differences in functions, specifications and performance between the two

The size of the body has a big influence on the ease of carrying and one-handed operation. The narrower the width, the easier it is to firmly grasp and hold, but you also have to take into account the device's thickness. Also, if the width and height are smaller, its easier to operate one-handed since its easier to extend your fingers. On the contrary, if the width and height are large, it's difficult to fit in your pocket and is bulky even when put in a bag, and portability is impaired.

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G has a width of 2.9 inches (74.5 mm), a length of 6.3 inches (159.8 mm), and a thickness of 0.3 inches (8.4 mm). Also, the Meizu 16s Pro has a width of 2.9 inches (73.4 mm), a length of 6.0 inches (151.9 mm), and a thickness of 0.3 inches (7.7 mm).

Comparing the width and thickness of the body, there isn't much difference between the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and Meizu 16s Pro in terms of size. For that reason, the ease of gripping and carrying the devices in one hand is about the same for both. Therefore it's better to compare them in terms of performance and functionality.

Comparing the width and thickness of the body, there isn't a large difference in size between the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the Meizu 16s Pro. For that reason their one-handed operability, portability, and bulkiness when carried is about the same. That's why I think it's better to compare them in terms of other aspects of performance and functionality.

Comparing the overall size of the two devices, there isn't a big difference in size between the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the Meizu 16s Pro. For that reason the ease of carrying and use with one hand is about the same for both. That's why it is better to compare the two in terms of other aspects of performance and functionality.

The weight of the device affects hand fatigue and the burden placed upon the wrist. The lighter it is, the longer you'll be able to operate the device without tiring. Also, if the burden placed on the wrist is lower, you'll be able to use the device more comfortably. However if the weight isn't right for you, it could place more of a burden on your body, causing you to feel stress.

The weight of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is about 190 oz (190 g), and the weight of the Meizu 16s Pro is about 166 oz (166 g). Comparing the weight of the two devices, the Meizu 16s Pro is a lighter smart phone than the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, with a difference of about 166 oz (24 g). For that reason the Meizu 16s Pro is a smart phone that is less likely than the Galaxy S20 FE 5Gto put a burden on your fingers and wrist when used for an extended period. That's why we recommend the Meizu 16s Pro over the Galaxy S20 FE 5G.

The size of the screen affects usability and screen visibility. A larger screen means larger letters and buttons on apps, so the user is less likely to tap adjacent buttons by mistake. In addition, the user can enjoy a more intense experience when playing games and watching videos.

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G has a 6.5 inch display. Also, the Meizu 16s Pro has a 6.2 inch display. Comparing the screen size, there is a negligible difference in screen size between the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the Meizu 16s Pro. As a result, the app buttons on both are equally easy to press. We recommend comparing them based on other aspects of performance and functionality.

Pixel density affects picture quality, and the higher the pixel density, the better the picture quality, which means the user can gain more enjoyment from games and videos. In addition, higher picture quality decreases eyestrain, which means that the user will experience less eye fatigue after prolonged use.

The resolution on the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is 1080 x 2400, and pixel density is 404 ppi. Also, the resolution on the Meizu 16s Pro is 1080 x 2232, and pixel density is 399 ppi. Comparing the pixel count, the difference in pixel density between the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the Meizu 16s Pro is negligible. As a result, they are both evenly matched in terms of picture quality and easiness on the eyes. Therefore, we recommend comparing them based on other aspects of performance and functionality.

Battery performance greatly affects battery life, but greater battery capacity does not necessarily mean greater battery life, since battery efficiency should also be considered. Bigger screens and higher CPU performance will mean the batteries are depleted more quickly.

CPU performance affects the ability to process programs, and the ability to process programs is determined by the product of the number of cores in the CPU and the CPU frequency. The higher this performance is, the more smoothly apps and games will run, and with low performance apps and games become heavy and stress is experienced.

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G's CPU is a Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865, with performance measured at 2.84GHz+2.42GHz+1.8GHz×8(OctaCore). Also, the Meizu 16s Pro's CPU is a Qualcomm SM8150 Snapdragon 855+, with performance measured at 2.96GHz+2.42GHz+1.78GHz×8(OctaCore). Comparing CPU performance, there is almost no difference in the specs of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the Meizu 16s Pro. For that reason the level of smoothness felt when using apps and comfortable handling of games is about the same. For that reason it is better to compare them in terms of other aspects of performance and functionality.

RAM affects multitasking ability and the stability of apps. The larger the amount of RAM is, the more stability there will be even in situations where multiple apps are running simultaneously, allowing for comfortable use. In addition, animation will be more smooth, and apps will be less likely to freeze or crash. Also, without sufficient RAM, there are games you won't be able to run, so it is necessary to be careful.

The weight of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is 8GB and the weight of the Meizu 16s Pro is 8GB. Comparing the devices in terms of RAM, there is almost no difference in the amount of RAM of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the Meizu 16s Pro. For that reason they have about the same level of multitasking performance and 3D game and VR smoothness. That's why it is better to make a comparison in terms of other aspects of performance and functionality.

Storage capacity affects the amount of data that is capable of being stored. The larger the storage capacity, the more pictures you can take and the more applications you can install. In addition, if your smartphone accepts SD cards, then you can increase its storage capacity. However, there are performance related drawbacks, including a slower data transfer rate than the primary memory, and you cannot transfer all your data on the card, so be warned.

The data storage capacity of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is 256GB. Also the Meizu 16s Pro is 256GB. Regarding storage capacity, there is a negligible difference in storage capacity between the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and Meizu 16s Pro. As a result, you can save roughly the same amount of pictures, and install roughly the same amount of applications, on either phone. You are better off comparing them based on other aspects of performance and functionality.

One factor that determines the performance of the exterior camera located on the back of the device (the rear/back camera) is the pixel count. The larger the pixel count, the higher the resolution of the pictures you can take, and the cleaner the pictures will look when printed.

Galaxy S20 FE 5G has a 12 MP main camera. Also, Meizu 16s Pro has a 48 MP main camera. Comparing rear camera performance, the Meizu 16s Pro has a much higher pixel count compared to the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, with a roughly 36 MP difference. In terms of taking or shooting high resolution pictures or videos that will look clean when printed, the Meizu 16s Pro is superior to the Galaxy S20 FE 5G. If you are looking for a smartphone that is suited for shooting videos and taking pictures, we recommend the Meizu 16s Pro over the Galaxy S20 FE 5G.

One factor that determines the performance of the exterior camera located on the front of the device (the in/front camera) is the pixel count. The larger the pixel count, the higher the resolution of the pictures you can take, and the cleaner the pictures will look when printed.

Galaxy S20 FE 5G has an 32 MP front camera and Meizu 16s Pro has an 20 MP front camera. Comparing rear camera performance, the front camera of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G has a much higher pixel count compared to the Meizu 16s Pro, with a roughly 12 MP difference. As a result, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is more suited than the Meizu 16s Pro for shooting videos and taking pictures. If you are looking for a smartphone that is suited for shooting high resolution selfies which will look clean when printed, we recommend the Galaxy S20 FE 5G over the Meizu 16s Pro.
