Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Leica X2 and Leica X Vario side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica X2 has external dimensions of 124 x 69 x 52 mm (4.88 x 2.72 x 2.05″) and weighs 345 g (0.76 lb / 12.17 oz) (including batteries). Leica X Vario has external dimensions of 133 x 73 x 95 mm (5.24 x 2.87 x 3.74″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica X2 and the Leica X Vario. Leica X2 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 43mm thinner than Leica X Vario.

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 the Leica X2 nor Leica X Vario provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, 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 3.00" 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.
