The iPhone 8 Plus counts with a quite better performance than Xperia X, and although they both have 6 cores and the same RAM amount, the iPhone 8 Plus also has a 64-bits processor.
The Apple iPhone 8 Plus counts with a bit superior battery performance than Xperia X, because it has 2691mAh of battery capacity instead of 2620mAh. The Apple iPhone 8 Plus's camera is just as good as the camera in Sony Xperia X, because although the Apple iPhone 8 Plus has a way less mega pixels resolution back facing camera and a lot smaller sensor which gives a way lower photo and video quality, it also counts with a bigger camera aperture to capture better captures in low light situations and a much higher 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution.
Although Apple iPhone 8 Plus is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Xperia X, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Xperia X. If you want to save some money, you can buy the Xperia X, giving up a couple features, but you will get the most out of your savings.
