Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX10 is significantly lighter (502g ) than the Leica V-Lux 5 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica V-Lux 5 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 (Lumix DMC-LX15) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica V-Lux 5 and Panasonic LX10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Panasonic LX10 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Leica V-Lux 5 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
