Which should you buy?
The Magic7 Lite edges ahead on the Mars Score (69.2 vs 63.5), but the 5.7-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Magic7 Lite if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are main camera, wired charging, front camera, among others.
Pick the Xperia 5 V if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are antutu, pixel density, weight, among others.
Both ship with comparable ram, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Magic7 Lite is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
