When I plan to write a comprehensive review paper about a particular topic (X). My personal opinion, I should collect all articles about X, without care about the quality of these articles. After I summarize all of them, then I can create a section called "Evaluate X", in this section, I should put the high-quality articles. i.e., I should give a chance for all articles which published about X.
Is this right?
Yes, but after collecting the articles you have to evaluate them. Some of them may be just repeat of what others have done. Based on whether the articles have any contribution towards the build up of knowledge, you can decide to include or ignore.
No, find review articles from high impact journals and use those
I think yes. If you want your research paper to be cited more, then you should select high quality papers. Now how do you determine the quality? Check each article for quality seprately by using relevant Quality Assesment Tools.
It depends on how you define the quality of the collected papers. note that there are many papers published in special conferences with higher quality compared to articles published in well-respected journals.
I think its not good idea to categorize the papers based on the quality of the papers or the journals, instead you can leave that for the readers.
We always categorize the previous papers based on its contribution.
Suppose the previous authors proposed an algorithms to solve problem "x", and the proposed algorithms enhance the power consumption, reliability, scalability, or efficiency. We can categorize these papers to section 1.1 and we can named it " Power Consumption" and section 1.2 and we can named it "reliability", etc. We can also have section 1.3 and we can named it "reliability and scalability".

Introduction to Review Articles: Writing Systematic and Narrative Reviews
Review articles significantly contribute to the progress of science by coherently presenting the existing findings on a research topic. Enago in collaboration with Annual Reviews—a nonprofit scientific publisher dedicated to synthesizing and integrating knowledge for scientific advancement—will aim to address the challenges faced by research scholars in review article publication through its next webinar. Researchers often face challenges to identify good quality, bias-free, and relevant data from the plethora of research-based evidence present in an ever-growing scientific literature database. Review articles adopt a methodical approach to select, critically appraise, and summarize the available research findings to answer a focused scientific question and identify potential research areas.
Through this session, researchers will have a better understanding of the following:
- Overview and significance of review articles in academic publishing
- A comparative analysis of different types of literature reviews
- Tips for writing good systematic and narrative reviews
- Role of meta-analysis
- Guidelines and tools for improved reporting of a systematic review
- Narrative Reviews in summary by Annual Reviews...

Dear Mohammad Shehab I have written over 50 Review Articles, and many of them have been comprehensive ones such as the article cited below. My answer to your question is clearly NO. Comprehensive means comprehensive! As the author of a comprehensive Review Article it's absolutely not your duty to judge the quality of the collected references, but it's your duty to collect all of them. Otherwise the article wouldn't be comprehensive!
Article REVIEW: The multicolored coordination chemistry of violurate anions
I think it would be time-consuming because you select randomly all the published articles without prior evaluation. In my opinion, the evaluation process should begin from the selection of the articles "which databases are you going to use, which journals, which keywords ...". For example, a paper published by a not peer-reviewed journal I think is not worth reading and evaluating.
