Which should you buy?
The Magic7 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (72.3 vs 65.7), but the 6.6-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Magic7 Pro 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, front camera, wired charging, among others.
Pick the Xperia 1 VI 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 ram, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
