          for iPhone prices though, when it comes to top Android contenders, they actually got more color accurate screens than iPhone. example: Oppo Find X5 Pro is more color accurate than iPhone 14 Pro Max.

          my apologies for disturbing your Apple Witness dogmas.

            I prefer a heavier phone with more features than a lighter phone with less features.

                Is sd 6 gen1 is a failure or not ready yet? Is this the reason why Xperia 10 v didn't use it?

After seeing how many Android manufacturers straight up don’t care about color accurate displays while Apple factory calibrates every iPhone display, I can forgive the 60 Hz at $429. And btw I don’t care if you people will give the ❌ emoji to this comment, that doesn’t make your opinion any more valid.

                    And am from 3rd world countries and worked in these kind of work before and i remember carrying 16000mah Xiaomi power bank in. My pocket with Note 5 galaxy, it was painfull experience, also if you carry powerbank you can use slim powerbank with 5 or 10k mah to reduce load and have better battery life than average phone with 20kmah

                    If its not for you fine, go on buy thousands other devices out there, but forcing devices which was made for Niche market to be as average as other devices show how consumer mind works nowadays and why innovative companies dont Exist anymore.

                      It's 6.1" now? Glad to see the Xperia 10 now matches the Xperia 5 screen size. If only Sony would bring back the Xperia 10 Plus since it has a matching screen size as the Xperia 1.

                        Such a dissapointment. I was awaiting for this compact, IP67 no-nonsense model to be launched, but the same chipset and outdated screen make this an impossible sale at 450€ 2023...
                        The Poco F5 will be the model to beat this year, for sure.

                          Sony basically have a phone that should cost maximum 250 euro cause it has nothing special and they sell it for 450 euro.
                          It's basically competing with Pixel 7a that has probably better camera and somewhat better screen as 90hz and is also more compact then this Sony 10 V and also have like 2 or more times fast4er chip in it
                          For 6.1 inch screen 15.5cm tall is making the phone too big to be called compact especially when Iphone 14 standard and S23 standard is also with 6.1 inch screen but phone body size is 14.6cm
                          Only good thing about Sony is that they dont have a hole in the screen but thanks to the bezel it makes it too large of a phone.

                          What this phone offers it should cost maximum as 250 euro. Even Poco X5 cost 270 Euro but that at least have 120hz screen with same SD695 in it. For 320 you get X5 Pro that has S778 in it and then there is Pixel 6a that is basically like this sony but few mm shorter and also like 90 euro cheaper with more powerful chip in it. Same with Pixel 7a that offers you a lot more then this Sony does.

                          Sony just expensive trash with nothing unique. Stock android takes away unique on a brand cause all phones are with Android and what makes brands special is there skins on the android. Is the skin good or bad dont matter as it makes it unique for brands to look different in only place you can look different. Other then that it's just a large brick where only thing different is how the cameras in the rear are placed

The Mk3 version is still my favourite Xperia 10 model to date. That is the only Xperia 10 model so far to have USB-C 3.1 with wired video output, and it's a practical feature I always value a lot.

You are right, this is actually cheaper than last year's model. That's a bold move for any smartphone brand to do.

                                      i went with gsmarena said "The Sony Xperia 10 V retains the Snapdragon 695 chipset as well as the 6GB/128GB memory combo of the Xperia 10 IV"

                                      but now i see gizmochina reports 8Gb.

                                      oh well, as you say...

                                      but regarding 6 Gen 1 SoC - i dunno why people still expecting that one? it had overheating issues and was produced with poor yields at Samsung so didn't quite hit Qualcomm's expectations. we're not gonna see 6 Gen 1 and it's better to be 6+ Gen 1 anyway.
