Xiaomi Poco (early 2020) vs ZTE Axon (2019)

While the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (2020) wasn't able to make it to the very top of any roundups from sources that perform quality hands-on testing, it still got featured in a large number of them. Android Central, PhoneArena, Techradar, slashgear.com, Android Authority, and GadgetMatch have all deemed it worthy of a place on their respective shortlists.

Returning to the ZTE Axon 10 Pro (2020), PCmag, a source that's known for its high-quality in-depth testing, has great things to say about it. In fact, it was named its "Best for 5G Fans" in its "The Best Chinese Phones" roundup, which is quite a feat.

We examined all of the review data that we could find and first took a look at sources that reviewed both of them, like Android Central, and found that they haven't shown a preference for either product.

Then we checked which sources liked these two Smartphones best and found that the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (2020) got its highest, 8.5, review score from reviewers at PhoneArena, whereas the ZTE Axon 10 Pro (2020) earned its best score of 8 from Android Central.

Lastly, we averaged out all of their review ratings and observed that the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (2020), with its 8.0 average, performed considerably better than most Smartphones - the mean score for the product category being 7.5 out of 10 - while the ZTE Axon 10 Pro (2020) managed an average of 7.3.

There's one caveat here - it might not be entirely justifiable to do a direct Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (2020) vs. ZTE Axon 10 Pro (2020) review average comparison since they aren't priced the same and more expensive products tend to get higher review scores from some sources.
