Summary

- Both devices have AMOLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates, but the Nothing Phone's display supports HDR10+ and has higher peak brightness.
- In terms of performance, the Nothing Phone is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, whereas the Tecno uses a Mediatek Dimensity 7020, with the former offering potentially better graphics performance.
- Both phones have a 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilization, but the Nothing Phone includes additional telephoto and ultrawide lenses, enhancing versatility.
- Battery capacity is identical at 5000 mAh, but the Tecno charges faster at 70W compared to the Nothing's 50W.
