Between the Reno 13 Pro and Xperia 5 V, the Reno 13 Pro comes out ahead in front camera and wired charging, while the Xperia 5 V wins on weight and antutu. Overall, the Reno 13 Pro scores 68.3 and the Xperia 5 V scores 63.5 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Reno 13 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (68.3 vs 63.5), but the 4.8-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Reno 13 Pro 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, wired charging, ram, among others.
Pick the Xperia 5 V if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are weight, antutu, headphone jack, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
