IPhone X counts with a display that is just as good as the display in iPhone 5, although the iPhone X also has a much higher 1125 x 2436px resolution, a really bigger display, a higher screen density and a little bit brighter display. The Apple iPhone X has a better camera than iPhone 5, because it has a lot higher 12 MP resolution back-facing camera, a lot higher (4K) video definition, a way bigger aperture for better photography in low light environments and a larger sensor capturing more light and vivid colors.
The iPhone X counts with a much better memory for apps and games than iPhone 5, because it has 256 GB internal memory. The iPhone X features a way better battery duration than iPhone 5, because it has 2716mAh of battery capacity instead of 1440mAh.
Although Apple iPhone X is a better device, it costs a lot more money than iPhone 5, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as iPhone 5.
