Comparison review
The Xperia 5 III has a general score of 90.5, which is much better than Xiaomi Poco X2's general score of 79.3. Both phones we are comparing here come with the same Android 11 OS (operating system), so they should provide you the same OS features. The Xperia 5 III is a newer phone, and it is also just a little bit thinner and lighter than Xiaomi Poco X2.
The Xperia 5 III features a bit superior processor than Xiaomi Poco X2, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Xperia 5 III also has 2 GB more RAM memory. The Sony Xperia 5 III features a little more vivid display than Xiaomi Poco X2, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with a little higher 1080 x 2520 resolution and a quite higher count of pixels per inch of screen.
The Xiaomi Poco X2 captures much clearer pictures and videos than Sony Xperia 5 III, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not so good for low light photography and lower 30 frames per second video frame rate, and they both have a 0.59 inches back-facing camera sensor and the same 3840x2160 video definition, the Xiaomi Poco X2 also counts with a back facing camera with a much better 64 megapixels resolution.
Xperia 5 III counts with a much greater storage capacity for applications and games than Xiaomi Poco X2, because it has 192 GB more internal storage capacity and a SD memory card expansion slot that holds a maximum of 1 TB.
