Our Verdict

Xperia 5 VI vs S21 Pro

vivo S21 Pro’s 5500mAh battery and 90W wired charging vastly outperform Sony Xperia 5’s 96h endurance rating and 18W charging (5500mAh vs ~3150mAh estimated capacity, 90W vs 18W). Sony Xperia 5 128GB suits photographers needing 2x optical zoom and 5-axis OIS on all three rear lenses (12MP wide, telephoto, ultrawide), offering precise control in varied lighting. vivo S21 Pro 512GB is for users prioritizing all-day battery life and ultra-fast charging, with 512GB storage and 5G support, ideal for heavy media consumption and fast file transfers. In UAE at AED 2999 vs AED 2250, vivo S21 Pro is better because 90W charging refills the 5500mAh battery in under 30 minutes while Sony takes over 90 minutes. In India at ₹79999 vs ₹49999, vivo S21 Pro wins on value because it delivers triple the storage, 5G, and 5x faster charging for half the price.
