Choose Xperia 5 IV Compact if…
- Would have been Sony's 5.5" 21:9 compact.
- 3.5 mm jack.
- 155 g compact.
- Triple cam.
Choose Galaxy S25 Ultra if…
- The most versatile camera system on any phone — four useful focal lengths.
- Seven years of OS updates matches Apple for longevity.
- Gorilla Armor 2 glass is the most scratch- and glare-resistant around.
- Built-in S Pen still has no real equivalent elsewhere.
