Summary
- The Allview X3 Soul Lite and BQ Aquaris X5 both feature a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing similar visual quality.
- In terms of performance, the X3 Soul Lite is equipped with a Mediatek MT6735 chipset and a quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU, while the Aquaris X5 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 412 with a slightly faster quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU, which may offer better efficiency.
- Both devices have a 13 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, but the BQ model benefits from a wider aperture (f/2.0) for potentially better low-light performance.
- The X3 Soul Lite has a smaller 2400 mAh battery compared to the 2900 mAh battery in the Aquaris X5, suggesting longer usage time for the latter.
- Software-wise, the X3 Soul Lite runs Android 6.0, while the Aquaris X5 originally shipped with Android 5.1 but is upgradable to 7.0, offering a more recent software experience.
