Sony Xperia 10 VI review

16 May 2024


Sort by:

they were so close... could've kept the price at 450 even, if they improve a couple things
upgrade the sensors
slightly stronger soc
Wifi6
USB3
30W charging

its infuriating really. now it is basically an almost worse phone than last years for cheaper. literally evolving just backwards.

      Lmaooo
      How many of them will get 3 OS updates and 4 years of security updates when even high end Xiaomi phones barely get that on time? Stereo speakers? IP68 rating? SD card? 3.5mm jack?

      High refresh rate isn't everything.

        So now they just need to improve the display and it will finally be worth its price.

          Not competitive at all, 300 at most. Let's see what the 5 VI will bring to the table in sept.

              2020 just called, it wants its phone back.

                CompactPhones5ever, 17 May 2024High refresh display is imo the most important UX feature, ... moreMy bad, overlooked its overpricing, so yeah, it does look pretty unimpressive compared to some of its peers

                  Who will buy this phone?

                  Samsung and Xiaomi dominate this segment.

                    David 040882, 17 May 2024Having a 60Hz display isn't enough to bring the rating... moreHigh refresh display is imo the most important UX feature, even phones with the worst CPUs can feel smooth in use if it has at least 90Hz display (and likewise).

                    Regardless, I disagree that the rest of the phone is pretty good. The "competition" section of the review sums it up nicely - Samsung A55 (and not only it) is straight forward better, cheaper phone. There are simply no relevant redeeming features on the Xperia 10 VI that should make anyone consider this phone. The only feature that makes it stand out is the tall aspect ratio, but realistically this is a downgrade compared to standard ratio for most people (trust me, I have Xperia 5.2 right now, I hate myself for picking this phone every time I type on this screen).

                        💆🤦...

                        I'm really speechless

                        No led
                        No af ultrawide
                        Usb 2.0? What happened to 3.0 on 10 iii?
                        Should give the 120hz refresh rate alone with motion blur reduction
                        Charging speed should better like 40 pd universal protocol.
                        No ufs 3.0 or at least 3.1 ?
                        Offer better variant with 12/256
                        Aod
                        Game mode

                        Niche feature
                        Reverse wireless and wired 10w
                        20w wireless charging
                        Ultrawide same sensor as main camera
                        Selfie camera at least 12mp with af
                        Hires wireless and wired
                        Face unlock
                        Dac support ( but this will disturbed sales of walkman).
                        Dynamic vibration
                        Trim bezel
                        Snapdragon 7 gen 3 or dimensity 8300 (but knowing Sony and Qualcomm involved in stamina mode, I guessed Sony will lose that if use mediatek)

                          CompactPhones5ever, 17 May 20243.7?! Welcome to another episode of "what the f*** do ... moreHaving a 60Hz display isn't enough to bring the rating that significantly lower when the rest of the phone is pretty good. And I'm not just talking about the 10 VI here, but in general. Still, 3.7 out of five isn't really that good of a rating compared to others

                            3.7?! Welcome to another episode of "what the f*** do these ratings even mean". You can pretty much spend half the money to get twice better phone by buying literally any Xiaomi/Samsung around 200 EUR. Even complete entry phones around 100 bucks ship with 90Hz display these days. I give Sony's mobile division 1 year, max 2, before it LGs itself.

                              This can really finally be the replacement for my 5-year old Samsung Galaxy A40 :]
