Which should you buy?
The GT Neo 7 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 10.5 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 GT Neo 7 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, ram, battery capacity, 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, water resistance, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, optical image stabilization, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the GT Neo 7 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
