Comparison review
Xiaomi Mi 5s has a global score of 76.4, which is just a bit better than the Xperia X's overall score of 72.9. Even though Xiaomi Mi 5s and Xperia X were only released 4 months apart, the Xiaomi Mi 5s construction is just a bit thicker but just a little lighter than Xperia X. The Xiaomi Mi 5s counts with a little more vivid screen than Sony Xperia X, because although it has a little worse pixel number in each inch in the display, and they both have an equal 1080 x 1920px resolution, the Xiaomi Mi 5s also counts with a quite bigger display.
The Xiaomi Mi 5s features a bit better processing unit than Xperia X, because although it has lesser cpu cores (but faster), it also counts with more RAM memory. The Xiaomi Mi 5s features a bigger memory for applications, games, photos and videos than Xperia X, because although it has no external memory slot, it also counts with 128 GB internal storage.
The Xiaomi Mi 5s features better battery performance than Xperia X, because it has a 22% larger battery capacity. Sony Xperia X captures just a bit better pictures and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5s, and although they both have a same size aperture, the same 1920x1080 video resolution and the same sensor size, the Sony Xperia X also has a back facing camera with lot more mega-pixels and higher 60 frames per second video frame rate.
Although Xiaomi Mi 5s is a better device, it is way more expensive than Sony Xperia X, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Sony Xperia X. So if you need that extra features, you can buy Xiaomi Mi 5s, but if you don't you can save some money and get the Sony Xperia X, giving up a couple specifications.
