    Hei, actually Sony is taking LG G5 route, taking a flagship model but install a slightly less powerful processor, and leave everything inside the phone the same...well for Sony's case their body form are not exactly the same and the X comes without the waterproof

      Anonymous, 28 Feb 2016All phones are made in China anyway. But what you get with ... moreYou don't know what is UNDER LICENSE? Which the manufacturer are all under license from the foreign company, the manufacturer only follow the license do it for their customers and clearly China don't have their technology either.

        I hope Sony could make a midrange but flagship spec and have a reasonable price, not just premium and classy.
        I also hope Xiaomi could make a superior quality phone and have a reasonable price, not just cheaper and copycat. they are less these..

              I think it is a no brainer that mi5 won the vote count. This two phone is really an apple to apple comparison, both phone are FHD screen, IPS, 5 inch and everything in the specs are quite similar, except the price. Sony will sell this phone for $800 and xiaomi will sell for $400. Thats double the price, unless you are a die hard fans of sony, others will simply get the mi5. It prove that so many people outhere still believe that pricier isnt always better, " bang for the buck"

                  Thumbs up ngelx, innovation is to make a product qualitative and economic... And who says xiomi is a copycat,ios roots come from macintosh and apple has full control over their software.. Thats why they r able to build such a user friendly environment.. Now miui is an extension to stock android and xiomi can't control android software from basic than also they build a user friendly environment as apple does.. I nvr say thats apple is bad but xiomi in itself is innovation at such affordable prices..

Good qualit... moreCompare to the design mi 5 still copy others, why it already the 6th generation still a copycat? it is just a familiar phone from the market with better price but don't have a better image and personality.
                      Sony design is all the best just like steve jobs said, Japanese really work effort for the design and also the updates, I believe them.

                        Good quality does NOT have to be expensive (overpriced)
                        Cheap does NOT mean poor in quality.

                        Xiaomi bring quality at affordable price.
                        Mi 5 is one example, best value for money.

                          vote for mi 5 because I don't have money for sony, also my redmi note 2 works "fine"
                          and IF I have money for real flagship, I would pick samsung / apple instead.

                            Anonymous, 01 Mar 2016Sony is way ahead in Quality and performance flagships cells.
                            Yes, it was and somehow it still is, but never like it was.
                            I know Sony makes quality products, but Xiaomi devices have excellent quality, too, and can compete one on one with those so called "big brands".
                            You don't have to trust me, but millions of people do believe in Xiaomi products.
                            Mi 5 is better than X Performance.

                              I didn't vote Sony X performance and didn't vote Xiaomi Mi 5. I know China have more people to trolling.
                              If you like cheap go mi 5,if you love quality go x performance.

                                comparing Sony to Xiami???
                                at least compare it with one of the huawei flagships, huawei is a well recognised firm, have products in other sectors other than mobile phones, e.g. telecummunications, modems, telecommunicaiton infra structure, silicon ships, etc
                                or compare xiaomi with Oppo, oneplus, Meizu, Lenovo (mobile), ZTE ....etc
