The Xperia 5 counts with a bit superior battery duration than iPhone X, because it has a 3140mAh battery size. The Apple iPhone X features just a bit better camera than Sony Xperia 5, because although it has a tinier back camera sensor shooting lower quality images and a tinier camera aperture which is not nice for taking photographs and video in low light situations, and they both have the same video definition and a back-facing camera with a 12 mega pixels, the Apple iPhone X also counts with better video frame rates.
IPhone X costs more money than the Xperia 5, but it's still a convenient choice, as you can get a better phone for that extra money.
