      Coming from the Xiaomi A2 lite. this phone is extremely snappy and fast. very slight lag in the animations but really, coming from the A2 the performance is night and day.

      I snagged this for 240$ CAD second-hand from a guy who wanted to go back to apple (bless his heart). At the full price, I would have been disappointed. If you can get this phone for under 350$ CAD I think it's definitely an amazing choice.

      I'm in love with the form factor. My hands are on the smaller side and it feels great to use with one hand compared to larger phones. although since this phone is slightly taller, now I have a hard time reaching for the top of the screen with my thumb.

      The finger print reader being on the wake side button is an interesting choice. basically rendering the lock screen obsolete. it will take some getting used to but I think I will very much appreciate this decision.

      No notification light is definitely a con for me. no idea why they didn't include one. I tend to not use my phone a lot and I only really pick it up when I see a notification. I can see my friends complaining I'm even less available now.

      Will report back on battery life. but this was one of the main reasons I bought this phone. Yes people who primarily care about battery life do exist.

        madphys, 20 Jan 2024You never know with sony - when or if they will fix things.... moreThat's incredible because it was the only model I was seriously considering instead of the 10 V. Better specs (RAM / storage), slightly better performance, plus FM radio, and better price. But you lose compactness, and the IP rating is (way) worse.

        But like I said, to be honest I'm not thinking of getting a new phone right now, I hope I can celebrate my Galaxy A 40's 5th birthday, let's wait & see e.g. for 10 VI's launch 🙂

          If you can compromise on compactness - I would suggest to check the Motorola Moto G84 (same chipset but implementation will be better)

            The slowwww chipset, slowwww charging speed, and poor image quality from the 8MP camera modules take us back as far as half a decade in the past.

              Forgot also some "nice to have" features:

              - Ingress Protection
              - 5G
              - FM radio

                Btw, intended use: stream music during great part of the day, plus the more common apps for the average user: meteo, browser, e-mail, notes, messaging (Messenger, WhatsApp), calendar, IMDb, homebanking, Shazam, translator, Goodreads, Huawei Health, maps, LiveScore, Wikipedia, Tripadvisor, YouTube, Bitwarden, Wordle, take some photos, occasional social networks (Facebook, Instagram), you name it...

                  After reading all the previous comments, if I was to buy a new phone right now, I would be undecided if would choose the 10 V. I came from an oldie (Samsung Galaxy A40, hopefully turning 5 years next July), and I absolutely love it! I love the compact size, the lightness, the microSD card slot, the headphone jack, the great screen, the great specs & price for the time 200€ back in 2019) and the battery (short, but like back in day 1). Now, if I wanted to update (and after extensively using GSM Arena's Phone Finder), the Sony Xperia 10 V seems to be the only (imperfect) choice. A new phone for me must be:

                  - Compact
                  - Light
                  - Nice screen
                  - Great Battery life
                  - 3.5 mm headphone jack
                  - microSD card slot
                  - Not expensive (entry level to midranger)
                  - Of course that the best possible performance
                  - Of course also, made to last (5 year is the minimum goal)

                  The Xperia 10 V seems to be the only that (sorts of) tickles all the boxes, with some obvious disadvantages:

                  - Not that compact
                  - Price
                  - Performance seems to be subpar competition

                  Is there any other obvious option I am missing? Thanks!

                      + I didn't mention that it is not possible to utilize the capabilities of supposedly built-in DAC - impossible to override native android resampling. So I am a bit in doubt, if there even is a higher quality DAC available.

                        I have to return to this - because this is nonsense.
                        I wrote previously - that this phone SUCKS. Well they managed to fix things with November update - yes it kind of ate a bit more battery but it worked. Now with the December update it went straight back to laggy unpredictable BS. Cmon...
                        I have this phone for half a year - it is BS.
                        1) GUI tends to glitch - software controls (buttons at the bottom) tend to not display - take a long time to show up. They kind of work with a huge delay - but there is no contrast with the background
                        2) When someone calls - you don't know if you will be able to answer - controls freeze, same when ending conversation
                        3) Some apps mysteriously freeze, become unresponsive - one example is bitwarden, the other is revolut, but also internet browsers tend to glitch heavily
                        4) Time lag on a photo button - crazy long. Take a cheapo Motorola G41 - click click click - with Sony - you wish.
                        5) Photo quality - subpar with the cheaper rivals. Main camera especially sucks - center sharpness is nice, but periphery is just a blur blob.

                        Don't get me wrong - I like the slim form factor and the idea of a bit more compact phone - but cmoon - for 400 euros I could have picked up Samsung A54 or something much cheaper from Motorola and wouldn't have such issues.

                                  User below means "shots" camera makes accedental shots because of how sentive the screen is. Well, I've tried this phone for a few days. Camara is great, i can take very nice pictures, even in low light. But I cannot get used to the small/tall screen. Sadly my Huawei P10 plus broke and I temporarely used an iPhone 6S and I'm used to 16:9 screens. I'm returning my 10 V tomorrow. I paid only € 299 and it's a lot of phone you het for that money. At € 399, it's just okay, you can het better (motorola edge 40?)
