Comparison review
The Xperia XZ1 is slightly better than Google Nexus 5X, getting a score of 78.3 against 73.7. The Xperia XZ1 is a newer and just a little thinner device than the Google Nexus 5X, although it is heavier. Xperia XZ1 features a bit more vivid screen than Google Nexus 5X. Both of them have the same exact 1080 x 1920px resolution, a greater amount of pixels per display inch and a same size display.
Xperia XZ1 features a much greater memory capacity for apps and games than Google Nexus 5X, because it has more internal memory and a slot for external memory cards that allows up to 1,95 TB. The Xperia XZ1 features a bit superior processor than Google Nexus 5X, because it has a greater number of cores (and faster) and 2 GB more RAM.
The Xperia XZ1's battery life is just as good as Google Nexus 5X's battery life. The Xperia XZ1 has a slightly better camera than Google Nexus 5X, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rates, the same video resolution, a same size back-facing camera sensor and the same aperture, the Xperia XZ1 also has a camera with much more mega pixels.
Although Xperia XZ1 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Google Nexus 5X, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Google Nexus 5X. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the Google Nexus 5X, giving up a few specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
