Read on and discover the best secrets of each of these two excellent terminals. Sony Xperia X Performance vs Nexus 5X.

Sony Xperia X Performance vs Nexus 5X design

Both smartphones are made with a unibody body that conveys a high-quality feel and a premium finish, but it has the drawback that it does not allow you to remove its battery to replace it if necessary.

The new Sony Xperia X family and especially the model at hand, bears a great resemblance to the Xperia Z5 as we see a very similar design with the buttons and other elements such as the flash and cameras in a very similar position if not identical. It has dimensions of 70.4 x 143.7 x 8.7 mm and a weight of 157 grams.

The Nexus 5X is presented with a plastic body with dimensions of 147 x 72.6 x 7.9 mm and a weight of 136 grams. In this aspect it is clearly behind the Sony model that is made of plastic so it will convey a much higher quality feeling.

Hardware and software

The Sony Xperia X Performance is governed by a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, the most advanced chip of the American firm manufactured in 14nm and consisting of four Kryo cores at a maximum frequency of 2 GHz and the Adreno 530 GPU, a very powerful and that represents the return of Qualcomm to the use of an own design of the CPU cores that has given such good results in the recent past. The processor is accompanied by 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage that we can expand by up to an additional 200 GB. All this managed by the advanced and much more than popular Android 6.0 Marshmallow mobile operating system.

The Nexus 5X mounts a still very powerful and controversial Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 manufactured in 20nm and consisting of four Cortex A 53 cores at 1.44 GHz and two other Cortex A57 at 1.82 GHz. This time the graphics are carried out by the powerful Adreno 418 GPU. In short, a processor with a very remarkable power that will have no problem with any application. The processor is accompanied by 2 GB of RAM and non-expandable 16/32 GB storage options. All this managed by Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Both have fast charge technology, to fill their 2, 700 mAh batteries faster and with NFC chip.

Two high-level displays

Sony Xperia X Performance vs Nexus 5X are undoubtedly two smartphones with excellent screens based on IPS technology in both cases, in the case of the Xperia it also presents the Triluminos Display technologies to achieve sensational image quality. We are facing a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a 5-inch diagonal to offer excellent image quality while taking care of the autonomy and performance of your processor.

The Nexus 5X appears to be very slightly ahead in size with a 5.2-inch diagonal and maintaining the same 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. On a 5-inch screen it is more than enough with FullHD, a higher resolution is almost negligible in terms of image quality but it is noticeable and quite a lot in battery consumption.

The main camera features an impressive 23-megapixel Exmor RS sensor to deliver images of unmatched size and definition, plus a predictive hybrid autofocus and 24mm f / 2.0 wide-angle G-lens for outstanding snapshots.

This smartphone is also capable of recording video at a maximum of 4K 30fps on its main camera and 1080p and 30fps on its rear camera.
