Comparison review
The Google Pixel XL has a global score of 81.3, which is much better than the Xiaomi Mi 5c's 72.4 score. Despite being the best phone we compare here, the Google Pixel XL is a somewhat heavier and thicker phone than the Xiaomi Mi 5c. The Google Pixel XL counts with a bit more vivid display than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has a bit larger screen, a higher 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and a higher pixel number per inch of display.
Xiaomi Mi 5c features a little better hardware performance than Google Pixel XL, because although it has less RAM, it also counts with a larger number of cores. The Google Pixel XL shoots just a bit better pictures and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same 30 frames per second video frame rate, the Google Pixel XL also has a larger aperture to capture better captures and video in low light situations and a more MP back camera.
Google Pixel XL features a much greater memory capacity to install applications and games than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has 128 GB internal storage capacity. Google Pixel XL has greater battery life than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has a 3450mAh battery size.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Xiaomi Mi 5c, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Xiaomi Mi 5c. If you prefer to save a few dollars, you can get Xiaomi Mi 5c, giving up a few specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your money.
