Compare Mobile Phones Side-by-Side

The Huawei Mate Xs is the more unusual phone here, mainly because of its huge 8-inch display. If your priority is having as much screen space as possible for reading, browsing, documents, or media, that size still gives it a clear appeal.

For most people, though, the Nokia N73 5G looks like the more practical pick. Its 120Hz display should feel much smoother than the Mate Xs’ 60Hz panel, and the combination of 12GB RAM with a larger 6000mAh battery makes it better suited to heavy daily use. It also has a more conventional 6.9-inch screen size, which is still large without being as niche.

So unless you specifically want the Mate Xs for its oversized screen concept, the Nokia N73 5G is the easier recommendation. It feels better aligned with what buyers usually care about now: smoothness, stamina, and stronger day-to-day headroom.
