Which should you buy?
The Find X8 edges ahead on the Mars Score (70.9 vs 63.5), but the 7.4-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Find X8 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are wireless charging, wired charging, front camera, 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.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Find X8 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
