In this post I would like to compare specs of three phones two of them are in similar price range and one a bit more expensive. I have chosen Huawei P9 and P9 Lite for that comparison because, while I upgraded my Moto G3 to X5 Plus my brother upgraded his UMI Touch to Huawei P9 so battle of these two phones can be called as friendly battle against me and my bro :)
Aquaris x5 plus can be purchased through Amazon Prime with one day delivery and it's 2GB/16GB variant costs £259.90 where 3GB/32GB costs £289.90
Huawei P9 and P9 Lite can be purchased through Carphonewarehouse for price of respectively £379 or £239.
As you can see all of these phones are Full HD and IPS Screens are used to display it. Only difference is it's size. X5+ is 5" where both of P9's are 5.2". Point for bq for better Pixel density.
2GB of RAM version of X5+ will compete with P9 Lite due same memory specification. Both of them have 16GB storage as well. Point for bq for supporting bigger Micro SD card, that is 256GB against 128GB for P9's. Higher speced brothers are 3GB and 32GB but bq still supports bigger SD card.
Processor competition brings winner in P9 as it's 2500MHz Kiring 955 is most powerful in this comparison but Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 is decent SoC as well with LITTLE.big architecture and clocked at 1800MHz is pretty battery efficient and still decent enough to handle some 3D gaming. At the end of the day, 1 point still goes to P9.
Another point is going to X5+ for better battery life as nearly stock Android + energy efficient SoC + 3200mAh will provide you will amazing battery life. For me heavy use which includes 5-6h screen on time live me with about 30% of juice left at the end of the day. Unfortunately P9's battery doesn't handle heavy use that well and you will need a little recharge on the go.
So far X5+ is winning 3:1 against Huawei and there few more things which makes me love X5+ more. Dual SIM isn't hybrid so you can use 2 x sim + SD Card where P9 give you choice of 2 x sim or 1 x sim + SD Card.
Another differences are:
4K vs FHD in video recording for bq
Laser Autofocus for P9
Bq as got NFC for Android Pay where P9 does not support.
Overall I am glad i have chosen bq Aquaris X5+ for price of £259.90 I have received amazing piece of mobile technology. If you are looking for your next phone look at www.bq.com for more information about other bq phones.
