Sony officially unveiled the Xperia 5 Mark V, the last of this year's trio of models, completing the 2023 lineup. Earlier this year, the Japanese company launched the Xperia 1 Mark V, the full-fledged big flagship, alongside the Xperia 10 Mark V, Sony's budget offering, and now the lineup is complete.
The biggest difference between the Xperia 1 V and the Xperia 5 V comes from the display panel. The 1 uses a 6.5-inch 4K panel, while the smaller brother comes equipped with a 6.1-inch FHD+ screen. This leads to a difference in the size and weight of both phones, inevitably. As for the display panels, both are great, very bright and vivid, with great calibration out of the box. Granted, if you want the 4K experience, you need to get the Xperia 1 V, but at these sizes, we think it's overkill.
One thing worth mentioning is that both displays offer 120Hz refresh rate, but neither of them can switch between 60Hz and 120Hz dynamically or offer any in-between frequencies. The difference here boils down to sheer size; if you want a bigger screen, the Xperia 1 V is the right device for you. That being said, there are some design differences that can swing you in either direction, and we're going to explore them right now.
If you look at the Xperia 1 V and the Xperia 5 V from a distance, you'll be able to tell they belong to the same generation and brand. It's Sony's omnibalance, 21:9 ratio, square-ish design that the company has been using for ages. If you take a closer look, though, there are some differences.The Xperia 1 V has a unique back made out of textured Gorilla Glass Victus 2, while the Xperia 5 V sports a more conventional matte finish of the same material.
