Which should you buy?
The X200 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (67.7 vs 74), but the 6.3-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
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. The biggest gaps in its favor are pixel density, weight, headphone jack.
Pick the X200 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are wired charging, front camera, wireless charging, 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.
