Comparison review
The Apple iPhone X has a general score of 88.1, which is a little bit better than the Xperia 5 II's 87.2 global score. Apple iPhone X is an a lot older and a little heavier cellphone than Xperia 5 II, but Apple made it a little bit thinner anyway. The Apple iPhone X has a little sharper display than Xperia 5 II, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with a slightly better 1125 x 2436 resolution and a just a little greater screen pixel density.
The Xperia 5 II has a quite bigger memory for games and applications than iPhone X, because although it has only 128 GB internal storage, it also counts with a SD extension slot that allows a maximum of 1000 GB. IPhone X features a bit better processor than Xperia 5 II, because although it has a lower amount of RAM and a lower number of cores and they are also slower, it also counts with a 64-bits CPU.
The Sony Xperia 5 II features a much better battery duration than Apple iPhone X, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity. Sony Xperia 5 II shoots just a bit better videos and photos than iPhone X, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition and a 12 mega-pixels back-facing camera, the Sony Xperia 5 II also has a way bigger sensor which gives a lot higher image and video quality, higher 120 fps video frame rate and a larger aperture for better captures in low-light environments.
Although Apple iPhone X is a better device, it costs more money than Xperia 5 II, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Xperia 5 II. So if you need that extra features, you can buy the Apple iPhone X, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Xperia 5 II, resigning a couple specifications.
