Comparison review
IPhone X is better than the iPhone 5s, with an 88.1 score against 75.5. The iPhone X body has the same thickness than the iPhone 5s, but it's incredibly heavier. IPhone X counts with a screen that's just as good as iPhone 5s's display, although the iPhone X also has a lot bigger display, a lot higher resolution of 1125 x 2436, more pixels per inch in the screen and a little bit more display brightness.
The iPhone X has a way bigger storage for games and applications than Apple iPhone 5s, because it has 256 GB internal storage capacity. Apple iPhone X features a little faster processor than iPhone 5s, because although it has doesn't have a graphics co-processor, and they both have a 64-bit processor, the Apple iPhone X also counts with a larger number of cores (and also faster) and a higher amount of RAM.
The iPhone X has a very superior battery lifetime than Apple iPhone 5s, because it has 2716mAh of battery capacity against 1570mAh. IPhone X counts with a superior camera than iPhone 5s, and although they both have a 0.33 inches sensor, the iPhone X also has a much more megapixels back-facing camera, a way better 3840x2160 video definition and a bigger diafragm aperture.
Although iPhone X is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than iPhone 5s, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as iPhone 5s. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the iPhone X, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the iPhone 5s, giving up a couple specifications.
