I think personally Hot 20S - Lighter - Better Resolution- 1080p - Better Camera - Higher Refresh Rate- 120hz - Better For daily use - Good For Gaming - Gonna need a phone cooler (Heavy Games) Pova 4 - 6 nm (smaller is better) - 6000 mAh - G99 - Longer use - More stable - Less heat - Better for gaming than Hot 20S If you are a mediocre gamer, you don't play heavy games, you want something smooth and for social media use - Hot 20S If you are a heavy gamer and play for a very long time -Pova 4 If you have funds better buy the pro version its a really great upgrade - 1080p - Amoled - Smoother interface Remember that G96 and G99 are not as greatly optimized compared to G95
