Which should you buy?
The Xperia 1 VII edges ahead on the Mars Score (60.2 vs 67.7), but the 7.5-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Razr 50 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are front camera, screen size, main camera, among others.
Pick the Xperia 1 VII 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, ram, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, optical image stabilization, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Xperia 1 VII is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
