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 Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 (Lumix DMC-LX15) nor Leica V-Lux 5 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
Panasonic LX10 and Leica V-Lux 5'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.
