    The phone has a super annoying bug when trying to unlock the screen. Sometimes after trying to unlock it it ends up in some buggy state where you seem to see the unlocked screen with launcher but it's obstructed with the lock screen. In this state you can't really do anything (none of the icons on the launcher icons work). You have to lock the phone and unlock it again. Even then I sometimes have to do that more than once to work around the problem.
    Super annoying and they haven't fixed that for months now (got at least 2 firmware updates in that period)!

      Anonymous, 24 Feb 2024Lift some weights, no offense..a) you say something offensive then say „no offense“ that’s not how it works it’s still offensive
      b) you can’t train your wrists. That’s why even people lifting a lot can still get carpal tunnel.

        Was available here SIM-free for €270 some time ago.

        Regret not buying one now.

          Anonymous, 24 Feb 2024Lift some weights, no offense..The problem is not strength to hold the phone, is that for instance a heavier phone (as almost all of them now are) naturally produces heavier falls, which will probably damage the phone more (e. g. think about the screen). Also, personally I think a lighter phone is much nicer to handle.

            Hope that this years phone will get a better chip and have a 120hz screen. A better chip should allow for 2k and 4k video also.

              Does this model capture photos in RAW or NEF?

                        I kinda wish they just released it at it's original price but gave it a better CPU.

                          Does anyone know if the USB-C data/charging connector of XPERIA 10 V is hard (=directly) soldered to the motherboard? Or is there a cable connection between the connector and the motherboard as SONY does it with its DAPs to prevent damage of the MB through the connector in case of a hit on the connector?

                            Respect for releasing the lightest good available phone of 2023.

                            https://m.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2023&nWeightMin=130&nWeightMax=160

                            And even then it has outstanding battery life. The only downside to that is the plastic construction, but today‘s phones are so heavy that I don’t mind it on a non-flagship if it leads to a lightweight device like in this case. But the battery life is so good that I guess they could even go down to 4500 mAh for 10 VI and get the weight below 150 grams while still offering great battery life.

                              Soykaf, 23 Jan 2024Coming from the Xiaomi A2 lite. this phone is extremely sna... moreJust reporting back for a follow-up after a couple weeks of usage.

                              Battery life is indeed insane. I can go for almost a week before having to charge again.

                              Charging is slow, but who cares? the phone has a huge battery. I'm at 30% right now and I know this is good for at least 2 more days. and I haven't even tried the STAMINA mode yet. I'm not up to date on whats considered standard for phone nowadays but I'd rather charge my phone slowly once a week than having to charge it everyday. Like seriously, do people charge their phones multiple times a day? is that why you people care about fast charging?

                              Finger print reader isn't perfectly accurate and it is slightly annoying that sometimes when you lock your phone with the side button you'll end up unlocking it right away because the fingerprint reader read your print. Work around is either to have a dedicated "sleep" finger that doesn't have its print registered, or use the button with the tip of your fingers (like half nail half skin)

                              Camera quality isn't anything to write home about, but is perfectly acceptable and I'm quite a fan of the wide angle lens. I don't know if most phones nowadays have one of those, but It's pretty much all I use.

                              Software can be a little buggy. specially when unlocking the phone. I suspect it's the fingerprint reader or just straight up android 14. but sometimes I'll unlock the phone with the reader and I'll just see my wallpaper with nothing on it. then I have to lock the screen and enter my pin to fix it. But again, I don't know if this is an android issue, an hardware issue, or a little bit of both. Honestly now that I think about it, most of the phones issues are around the unlocking process, once beyond that, everything runs smoothly.

                              People complaining about the phone not having a 120hz screen. Unless you're gaming I don't understand why you'd want one. If you're gaming, you shouldn't be buying this phone to begin with.
                              120hz is overkill otherwise and will just drain your battery life for what? smoother animations? lol, give me a break...

                              Last thing. Build quality. This phone is a step above most other phones in terms of build quality. you just feel the tight tolerances and the quality of the materials. keep this in mind when shopping around for a phone. You can just tell this phone won't be falling apart after 2 years. Sure you might find a Chinese phone (no disrespect) with better specs for the same price or cheaper but it just won't feel as good in your hands.

                              Anyways. I'm very happy with my purchase and for the price I paid. I don't think I could have gotten a better phone. Sony knows what they are doing with the xperia 10 line.

                              You want crazy specs on your phone? 120hz screen? 16GB of ram? Use your computer.
                              You want a crazy camera? Just buy a real camera.

                              Texting, phone calls, navigation, music, browsing the web. That's what I need my phone to do. The 10 V perfectly fills this role in a quality package you won't find anywhere else.

                                After upgrading to android 14, it started to work slowly

                                  Battery life is outstanding, though. The charging speed brought us back a decade in the past.

                                    I am really surprised (negatively) with this phone. I have been using it for about 4 months.
                                    - finger print sensor is really bad, inaccurate and lags a lot.
                                    - after struggling with finger print and it succeeded, you need to wait more than 3 seconds to launch an app or use the phone.
                                    - freezing and lagging be some apps.
                                    - main camera is really bad, Autofocus not stable. Poor quality photos in general.
                                    - selfie camera is meh.
                                    - charging speed is between slow and decent depending on the charger.
                                    - stock Android is good but very poor of important features that are already found even in cheaper phones from other companies.
                                    - price is really exaggerated. Even 250 is a lot. What if it is priced 450 euros.
                                    - despite the other good features (IP 67, compact form factor, great battery life and 5G) but the cons are overwhelming the pros.

                                    For about 10 years i have used many and many Sony Xperia phones and all of them were the best except this phone. Sony, if you respect your history, you can either fix this catastrophe or close Sony mobile department.
