Comparison review
The iPhone XS has a general score of 84.2, which is better than the Xperia X's 72.9 overall score. The iPhone XS is a heavier phone than the Xperia X, but both of them are equally thin. The Apple iPhone XS counts with a little sharper display than Xperia X, because it has a slightly better resolution of 1125 x 2436px, a larger display and a quite better display pixel density.
Apple iPhone XS has a superior processing power than Xperia X, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Apple iPhone XS also has a 64-bits processor and a higher amount of RAM memory. Xperia X counts with a better memory capacity to install games and applications than Apple iPhone XS, because although it has just 32 GB internal memory capacity, it also counts with a SD memory slot that holds a maximum of 200 GB.
The iPhone XS's camera is just as good as the camera in Xperia X, because although the iPhone XS has a tinier back camera sensor capturing lower quality videos and images and a much less megapixels back-facing camera, it also counts with a bigger aperture to capture better low light photography and a lot better 3840x2160 (4K) video definition.
IPhone XS has a bit longer battery life than Xperia X, because it has a 1 percent more battery size.
Although Apple iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Xperia X, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Xperia X. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy Apple iPhone XS, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Xperia X, letting go some specifications.
