Which should you buy?
The X200 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 8.2 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Xperia 5 V 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 X200 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are wired charging, front camera, wireless charging, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the X200 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
