Comparison review
The Xperia 5 II has a global score of 87.2, which is a bit better than Google Pixel's overall score of 80.2. The Xperia 5 II design is noticeably newer and a little bit thinner than the Google Pixel's, although it's also heavier. Xperia 5 II counts with a bit better looking display than Google Pixel, because it has a just a bit higher quantity of pixels in each inch of screen, a little bit higher resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels and a larger screen.
Xperia 5 II has a very superior storage for apps and games than Google Pixel, and although they both have the same 128 GB internal memory, the Xperia 5 II also has an external memory card slot that allows a maximum of 1000 GB. The Xperia 5 II has just a little better performance than Google Pixel, because it has more cpu cores and more RAM.
The Sony Xperia 5 II captures clearer videos and photos than Google Pixel, because although it has a camera in the back with less mega-pixels resolution and a lower 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, it also counts with a lot bigger back camera sensor and a larger camera aperture for better low light images and videos.
Xperia 5 II counts with a way better battery life than Google Pixel, because it has a 4000mAh battery capacity instead of 2770mAh.
Although Xperia 5 II is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Google Pixel, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Google Pixel. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the Xperia 5 II, else you can save some dollars and get the Google Pixel, resigning some specs and features.
