Which should you buy?
The Pixel 10 edges ahead on the Mars Score (64.5 vs 57.5), but the 7.0-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Pixel 10 if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, refresh rate, ram, among others.
Pick the Xperia 10 VI if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are weight, wired charging, battery capacity, among others.
Both ship with comparable 5g support, water resistance, optical image stabilization, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Pixel 10 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
