Which should you buy?
The OnePlus 13R edges ahead on the Mars Score (71.3 vs 63.5), but the 7.8-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the OnePlus 13R if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, ram, antutu, among others.
Pick the Xperia 5 V if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are weight, headphone jack, water resistance, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, optical image stabilization, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the OnePlus 13R is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
