Comparison review
Xperia XZ1 has a general score of 78.3, which is just a bit better than the Xiaomi Mi 5c's general score of 72.4. Even being the best device we are comparing, it must be told that it's also a little bit thicker and somewhat heavier. The Xiaomi Mi 5c and the Xperia XZ1 both have really similar screens, they have exactly the same resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, a same size display and a higher pixels quantity in each inch of display.
The Xperia XZ1 counts with a little faster processor than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have 8 processing cores, the Xperia XZ1 also has a higher amount of RAM. The Xperia XZ1 shoots much clearer photographs and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same (4K) video quality, the Xperia XZ1 also has a camera with a much better resolution and a larger aperture.
The Xperia XZ1 counts with a superior storage capacity to install games and applications than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have exactly the same internal storage, the Xperia XZ1 also has a slot for external memory cards that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB. The Xiaomi Mi 5c has a little longer battery life than Xperia XZ1, because it has a 2860mAh battery size instead of 2700mAh.
Although Sony Xperia XZ1 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Xiaomi Mi 5c, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Xiaomi Mi 5c. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy Sony Xperia XZ1, otherwise you can save some money and get the Xiaomi Mi 5c, letting go some features and specs.
