Both phones in this comparison use Android OS (operating system), but the Huawei Mate X has a newer 9.0 Pie version and Xiaomi Mi 5c has Android 7.1 Nougat, so it provides you some nice extra features. Although the Huawei Mate X is a lot newer than Xiaomi Mi 5c, it is a lot heavier and extremely thicker.
The Huawei Mate X counts with a little more vivid screen than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because although it has a bit less pixels per display inch, it also counts with a lot better 2200 x 2480 pixels resolution and a lot larger screen. The Huawei Mate X counts with a very superior storage capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has 512 GB internal storage.

The Huawei Mate X features a superior battery life than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has a 57% bigger battery capacity. Xiaomi Mi 5c features a slightly better camera than Huawei Mate X, although it has a lot lower resolution back-facing camera and a smaller camera aperture which is not good for capturing pictures and/or video in low light situations.
Although Huawei Mate X is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Xiaomi Mi 5c, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Xiaomi Mi 5c. If you prefer to save some money, you can get the Xiaomi Mi 5c, and give up a couple features and specs, but you will get the most out of your money.
