The Xperia XZs has just a bit better hardware performance than Google Nexus 5X, because although it has an inferior number of cores (although faster), it also counts with 2 GB more RAM memory. The Xperia XZs features a lot better camera than Google Nexus 5X, and although they both have the same camera aperture, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and a same size camera sensor, the Xperia XZs also has a way better resolution camera and better video frame rate.
The Sony Xperia XZs features a very superior storage capacity to store more apps and games than Google Nexus 5X, and although they both have exactly the same 32 GB internal storage capacity, the Sony Xperia XZs also has a SD card slot that admits a maximum of 256 GB. Xperia XZs counts with just a little better battery lifetime than Google Nexus 5X, because it has a 2900mAh battery capacity.
Although Xperia XZs is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Google Nexus 5X, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Google Nexus 5X. So if you need that extra features, you can buy Xperia XZs, else you can save some money and get the Google Nexus 5X, letting go a couple features and specs.
