Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica X2 is significantly lighter (335g ) than the Leica X Vario which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Leica X2 nor Leica X Vario provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica X Vario's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica X2's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
