Sony Xperia 10 V review

15 May 2023


Sort by:

Fa14bi, 16 May 2023I have an 144hz phone and use it at 60hz most of the time. ... moreI have 120Hz on my current Xperia 5 II and it really bugs me when it sometimes drops to 60 Hz during power saving mode, I usually turn off the mode just to get back to 120Hz.

I guess we can agree to disagree. BUT the problem is, that it's 2023 and Sony has the audacity of asking 449 eur for it. It absolutely cannot justify missing the HRR at this price point. It's not an Apple to make it up with OS - as a matter of fact, the more you use Sony phones the more you get to hate its bugs and instability (speaking from personal experience). Xperia 10 V has no reason to exist in a world where Redmi Note 12 Pro or the Samsung A series exist in a similar price range.

    Just look at Gsmarena Database and show me any soc with 4 big cores with battery life close to this, but there are dozens of phones with 2xA78 with battery life close to this.

People dont get it and never will this phone is Aim at niche market for those who want portable phone with Good battery life. Changing Sd 695 to 778G and use high refresh display it means Total Endurance wouldnt be 175H anymore, there is a reason why this Series has been Battery champion since 10 III.

          Fa14bi, 16 May 2023I have an 144hz phone and use it at 60hz most of the time. ... moreI keep my Oneplus 9 in 60Hz because the phone drains battery like crazy in 120Hz. Somehow, Oneplus 9 in 60Hz feels just as smooth as my other phone Samsung A33 in 90Hz.

            Oki, 16 May 2023Pixel and iPhone are selling like crazy with only 60Hz disp... moreThis 10V is more expensive than the Pixel 7a without offering anything better other than battery life though, so safe to say Sony wont be selling a lot of the 10V where the Pixel is available.

            The cheaper 7a just demolishes the 10V with its faster chipset, metal build, better display, longer software support and of course better cameras too.

              This is the most disappointing Xperia 10, it's like Sony have left 695 stock around and put it here.

              New thing they did
              - OLED screen
              - 6.1 inch
              - stereo speaker
              - increase battery life
              - slightly faster charging
              - new camera

              Downgrade
              - no led notification
              - slower performance while using same previous chip
              - USB 2.0 with zero display output
              - no FM radio
              - plastic body at 450 USD
              - still 12mp although camera can do at least 24mp

              If anybody want to buy this, just wait another 2 years and you can buy with just 200 usd

                > In case you were wondering, there is no notification LED on the Xperia 10 V
                Nooooo :/

                  48mp main camera got 12mp at 2x, but it still got 8mp tele at 2x.
                  And some wonder about the price...
                  Also, like, they couldn't add 4 more Mp to sw camera, how much it is worth...

                        Phone is good for people who travel and have long trips.

                          Yes, there is a hunge difference, but after using 60hz for like 2 hours, it doesn't feel laggy anymore.

                            Save $200 bucks by getting 10 IV instead. Nothing new besides stereo speakers & bigger sensors that is wasted by that crappy SD695 that cannot record/play upto 4k vids though both have no FM radio.

                            Else save even more money by getting the much better 10 III that have FM Radio, can record/play upto 4k vids & USB 3.1 that have Display out.

                                60hz screen + 20w charging? oh damn sad

                                  The IMX582? Seriously? That sensor was popular in 2019 - four years ago. Does Sony have a heap of left-overs it's trying to get rid of?

                                    this phone with that price is highway robbery, even samsung a54 is soo much better value than this crap.

                                      One of the worst phones of the year.
