Buying advice for Algeria
Both Sony Xperia 1 V and Sony Xperia 1 VI are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Sony Xperia 1 V is 37% cheaper at 160,000 DZD versus 255,000 DZD for the Sony Xperia 1 VI, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.
Sony Xperia 1 VI posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.
