Buying advice

Which should you buy?

These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (61.5 vs 63.5). The decision is not about overall quality — both clear the bar — it is about which specific trade-offs fit your use.

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, weight, pixel density, among others.
