The Xperia PRO features a bit better processing unit than Samsung Galaxy A5, because although it has doesn't have an extra graphics co-processor and a 32 bits processor instead of 64-bits, it also counts with a higher number of cores (and faster) and a larger amount of RAM memory.

If you want to save some money, you can buy the Galaxy A5, letting go a couple features, but you'll get the most with your money.
