Pick the Xperia 10 VI if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight, headphone jack.
Pick the V40 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, wired charging, antutu, among others.
