CamoGeko-XDA, 20 Jul 202460hz display and nearly 2 hours charging speed in 2024 is c... moreLike an engineer who understands the limitations of technology and how compromise brings reliability and battery life benefits? Which are more important than fast refresh rate smoothness for people who arguably live too much on their phone if they care AND are too impatient if charging takes too long 2 hours is nothing. Bring a battery pack around with you for the first two hours. I prefer removeable batteries for this reason (and the designs CAN be waterproofed and dustproofed). You can swap an empty for a new battery and walk away, even charge LiPo or LiOn batteries in a standalone charger with safety controls and decent treatement of battery. But Nooooooooooooooooooooooo, the world apparently knows better! Then bitches about how much of a pain battery life and charging is - FFS. Not that the waterproofing you get as a result of sealed phone bodies is even that good, for this compromise, either. Plus the MASSIVE planned-obsolescence from the expiring end-of-life Lithium batteries in EVERY phone.

Spyker, 10 Sep 2024As usual, all Xperia 10 phones have mediocre camera lens. B... moreI love Sony phone as well and planning to buy mark vi this month, and i agree there are some of the chinese brand phone quality control was not good (i won't name them but i can tell u there are those brand who target customers who go for budget and cheap price) , and from my experience , i own mark 2 as well for more than 4years and still work pretty well .
Btw i receive a huawei p30 few years ago as a present ,and it still running smoothly though , and my little brother been using huawei p50 for around 2 or 3 years also, been running smooth also ,so from my opinion ,not all those Chinese brand phone has bad reliability , just dun buy those budget phone from those brand who target budget customers ,my motto is "You get what you pay for"

Seriously this phone is damaging your eyes, it makes my eyes hurts due to screen size, the camera is outstanding, receptions wifi and gsm is very good and this is odd because sony have many issues with wifi, the battery life is great, overall the phone is good but it have very bad issues with your eyes for long use and you will not feel comfortable with the screen even if you make fonts bigger.

It is useless to reason by standard arguments, this smartphone is not something classic, those who turn to it do so to find something that does not give you a pain in your hand and for this reason they are also willing to have more subdued performance.

I've seen that this phone has got a lot of hate from android geeks. This phone is priced a bit too high. Real value of this phone would be about 200-300 euros, but since it's Sony, they've priced this a bit too high. About everything on this phone is great except for the display, which has slight color shift, when you're close to looking at it at 180 degrees, which really shouldn't be happening at any point. It's a 2024 phone, not a mid 2000 Thinkpad. Fortunately, this color shift won't be ever noticeable in everyday use, but once you see it you can't really unsee it. The Snapdragon chip, while it's not the best it does everything flawlessly. Benchmarks are not everything and I've seen phones score unbelievable results on benchmarks, but at the same time incredibly suck doing basic tasks and overheating on every chance they get (Samsung). This phone does everything a human possibly needs fine. With gaming it was fine for almost about everything on the highest settings. With higher demand games it was smooth on high presets, but begin to stutter if you tried pushing it further, which is fine for a midranger. Battery life is excellent and so are the speakers. Cameras though aren't bad at all, but software behind really sucks. With Gcam 9.2 I was able to get impressive shots, that were pretty much in the zone of the midrange competition. Overall it's a great phone. The slight color shift towards edges is the only downside I really have for this phone. Everything else works fine and it's a great midranger with audiophile benefits and uniqueness. This phone is priced a bit too high though. If this would be priced at 250, delivered a better screen (perhaps amoled) and fix the camera software, this phone would sell damn well, but I guess Sony made thing this way, so they could offer clean UI, which is nowadays really hard to get. You need to take in credit, that this midrangers often come with bloatware and horrible UI, which is a thing to take in credit. My previous phone was Pocophone F1 and while I enjoyed being able to experience flagship SoC when gaming, I hated every second, minute and hour dealing with MIUI, because it sucks. This phone's clean UI on the other hand is tropical peace compared with MIUI, Samsung's One UI and so on. It's these little things that make Sony stand out and in the end of the day you forget this 60hz and color shift bullshit, since you don't notice any of that and with Gcam 9.2 installed you will have a great time with this phone.

As usual, all Xperia 10 phones have mediocre camera lens. But I'm brand loyal & have been using SONY phones since they were still "SONY ERICSSON".
IMO, the main reason why SONY phones now are still the best in reliability is because it's still manufactured in Japan (Belgium for EU & UK for UK & parts of that region). Although with Chinese SONY parts, the parts are still stringent in quality.
All my SONY phones have never failed.
I've been using my Mark II for about 5 years, dropped the phone over a hundred times (with a casing) & never used a screen protector... & It is still working as per normal. Eventually, the battery life has began to falter, hence, me buying the Mark VI.
You are simply paying a higher price for the quality of SONY phones.
If you think China brand phones are also reliable, you may buy them of course, by all means. But don't complain when their phones fail.
Even Samsung phones have lost their mark of reliability after they switched to manufacturing their phones in China.
Samsung used to be reliable when they were still manufacturing their phones in Korea.
SONY phones also have a lovely UI & I adore the 21:9 screen, one-handed usage & a uniqueness which other phones just do not possess.

The phone is pretty basic. Stuck on default apps like the Camera app with "bokeh" presets. It lacks a photo application and uses Google's - Photos app. The photos themselves are of rather low quality and follow the deceptive marketing strategy of being labeled as 48mp.
Complex applications totally crash and restart the phone - DJI Fly, Revolut, Discord. A lot of the default apps aren't even available in the Play Store for this model because it just won't run.

60hz display and nearly 2 hours charging speed in 2024 is criminal.
What is Sony even thinking??

Only phone on the market with a decent design (without the camera in the screen) and at a "reasonable" price. 10V unfortunately seemed like a downgrade in performance from my previous 10III. Better materials though with plastic instead of glass, which is the reason I made the switch (as the glass started to break at the back)

Fairly expensive. Pixel 7a is around same price now, but has worse battery life. Everything else is better.

MindTheGap, 18 May 2024When it comes to Android vendor, everyone complains when th... moreWell.. i disagree.
If you red carefully what's going on on other comment threads you could notice your self. So let me say one thing.... iPhone 15 (15+) is the most expensive phone with 60Hz display, but who will you hear moan about this?
Only geeks. Only Android geeks. I for example have an LTPO display and i still choose "standard" over "fluid" because the difference in screen view is not so visible as battery life on daily basis. So even i have an option for 120Hz i still prefer 60Hz.
All people are different and you can't judge over some comments what's real and what's not. Try for your self. I have a twin brother, but he likes different things that i do. That's the whole point of sharing opinions, so people know their opinion is not the holy grale of truth, it's just one way to look at.
Of course as on any web site, people are overreacting and show how biased they are with their fanatic hate or love for certain brands. That's all normal. Our mission here is not to make some people believe in what we personally believe, itcs just to share an opinion. Nothing more and nothing less.
Of course there will always be unfulfilled and unhappy people trying to share negativity, but if you can just ignore them.
Have a nice day everyone!
What do you think, are geeks the main clients who would consider buying a basic iPhone 15 (or 15+) in the first place?
I think not. No matter what OS they prefer more, they will likely go for "Pro" or "Ultra" moniker.
So, what's my point.
For majority of people buying the iPhone 15 it doesn't matter if its display can do 60 or 120Hz because they are not geeks watching and comparing every single thing. They are ordinary users who most probably already have an older iPhone and now they consider to buy a new one. We had 60Hz screens for over a decade and we still didn't go blind. It's nice to have it but it's not necessary, especially not for those with iPhone 7, 8, X, Xs, 11, 12.. etc.
This phone.. Xperia.. can't get into the same sentence with Apple and their models. This Xperia is offering very little for its price or in another words, only the most hard core Sony fans will like it as any phone that came out from Sony Xperia.
I have Xperia 1 V and i could say some bad things about this phone that i payed really a lot. And this one the 10 VI even for triple less is just not worth it.
I actually like this "so called retro" design, it's much more practical then DEAD PIXELS a.k.a punch hole, but it's just not a good value overall and screen refresh rate is just an icing on the cake.
