Sony Xperia 10 V review - A light smartphone with tremendous staying power | Notebookcheck
The Xperia 10 series is characterized by a slim, light design but it also managed to impress us with its immense battery life. In addition, Sony has provided the device with a triple camera, microSD support and an audio jack. But, does this make the switch from its predecessor worthwhile? We went looking for clues.

Sony Xperia 10 V Review – Sony’s cheapest phone
Source: Amateur Photographer
The Sony Xperia 10 V offers quite a nice set of features, considering its price. The camera app includes a night mode, auto HDR, and a background blur feature, but it would benefit from additional shooting modes. It feels like Sony are still playing catch up in the mobile phone market, as Apple, Samsung, Google, and others have additional computational shooting modes (such as long exposure). The 21:9 aspect ratio screen of the Sony Xperia range of phones is a contentious thing. Few people seem to be fans of this aspect ratio, they the exceptions. Unfortunately with the Xperia 10 V, it turns what could have been a compact smartphone into another one that’s difficult to use (reach), due to its height. This has the knock-on effect of making your 4:3 images look small on the screen.

How about the images produced, are they any good? Well, sometimes. In good light, the cameras can product some really good looking images, and colour can be good. At other times, colour is dull. As light levels drop image quality also drops dramatically. There’s also a lack of consistency between shots, in exposure and colour reproduction, so it is often a case of picking the best of several shots to get a good one. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to see why anyone would choose this phone over a Samsung, Google Pixel, or any of the other brands available. There are too many things on this phone that simply aren’t competitive with what’s out there.

Video quality is major disappointment, as the camera only records Full HD video, and doesn’t record 4K video at all. This is available on a range of competitors, even models at the same price range (or less), such as the Nothing Phone 1. The other issue is that the video quality is lacking as detail is poor, as exposure and stabilisation struggles to keep up.

Sony Xperia 10 V review

Sony has delivered yet another compelling budget Android phone with the Xperia 10 V. Its picture and sound performance are hard to believe when we take into account how little it costs and, while it may not offer cutting-edge internal specs and the camera is hardly class-leading, it's comfortably the best budget phone on the market for movies and music.

Sony Xperia 10 V review: Stubbornly solid
Source: Expert Reviews
The Sony Xperia 10 V has exactly the same key strengths and weaknesses as the Xperia 10 IV did last year. Factor in a nigh-on identical design, and it’s pretty much impossible to waver from our previous, rather middling verdict. We really shouldn’t still be talking about a 60Hz display here, nor should the Xperia 10 V be stuck with the same mediocre processor as its predecessor. Those two elements might lead to class-leading stamina, but they also leave the phone feeling sluggish and somewhat unresponsive. Yes, the phone has improved in certain ways, with a much brighter display, stereo speakers and a better main camera. But Sony would have been better served to apply its resources to the areas where the Xperia continues to fall well short of the mid-range elite.

Sony Xperia 10 V Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
Even with a top-notch screen at an attractive aspect ratio, the Xperia 10 V forgets what is keeping other budget phones in our hands years after purchase. This is one that feels sluggish out of the box, with its old trick of relying on its camera not really carrying the weight in the face of fierce competition. Commuting movie buffs might get a kick out of the screen, but that’s about it.

Sony Xperia 10 V review

The Xperia 10 V is close to the mark for a good mid-range phone, but it falls short thanks to a bunch of details that aren’t up to standard. What’s good, like the design, interface and battery life, is very good. If you can get it at a discounted price, which is not uncommon, it might be worth it. But not for Sony’s recommended price tag.

Sony Xperia 10 V review: endurance athlete
Source: Stuff TV
The Xperia 10 has always been the baby of Sony’s bunch, focusing more on long-lasting batteries than cutting-edge hardware, and largely sticking to sensible prices – albeit usually higher than the mid-range competition. That hasn’t really changed for the Mk V: it’s an impressively long-lasting phone, with signature Sony niceties like front-facing speakers and a 3.5mm headphone port, but in many respects rivals offer much better value. Reusing the same low-tier CPU as last year stifles performance, and the decision to stick with a 60Hz refresh rate is a head-scratcher. The three-lens camera array is flexible, sure, but 4K video recording is MIA. Charging speeds could be better, too, especially as you’ve now got to provide your own power brick and USB cable. The Xperia 10 V feels behind the times as a result, and difficult to recommend unless you’re sold on Sony’s styling, demand expandable storage, or find an especially good discount from the retail price.

Sony Xperia 10 V Battery test
Source: DxOMark
The Sony Xperia 10 V battery experience earned the device an excellent global score, placing it among the top devices we have tested so far. The Sony Xperia 10 V showed excellent autonomy across all our tests, lasting more than 3 days when used moderately. On-the-go performance was also very good, especially when using the camera. When testing individual usages, the Sony Xperia 10 V’s autonomy was excellent for all use cases. With a slightly more powerful charger than its predecessor, the Sony Xperia 10 V was able to fully recharge its battery in 2 hours and 16 minutes, which is slightly faster than its predecessor, but still longer than the average in our database. Moreover, a quick 5-minute boost provided 4 hours of autonomy on average, which is slightly our below average.

Xperia 10 V Review: Sony Missed the Mark for a Sub-$500 Phone
Source: Nextpit EN
Looking at the results based on my review, I do not understand why other reviewers give the Xperia 10 V such high scores. Okay, Sony impressed me in terms of build quality and included features like a microSD slot and a 3.5 mm headphone jack untouched. And yes, the Xperia 10 V fills an exciting niche with its lightweight form factor and 21:9 screen format. However, the Xperia 10 V is disappointing for a phone that resides in the $500 range. That is not my personal opinion, but the result of a quick look at the competition. The triple camera left much to be desired with its tiny sensors, both during the day and at night. The limited video resolution of 1080p is also a relic from older times. The phone looks just as antiquated in terms of quick-charging as well as the display, which has a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz.

In the DXOMARK Camera tests, the Sony Xperia 10 V performed well for landscape scenes shot without any motion and in good light. In such conditions, still images had a good level of detail and pleasant colors. However, image quality suffered in more challenging situations, for example, with motion in the scene or backlit subjects, where our testers observed a lack of detail, exposure issues and various unwanted image artifacts. Despite dedicated ultra-wide and tele cameras, the Sony’s zoom capabilities were fairly limited, with a lack of detail and a limited dynamic range that resulted in highlight clipping across the entire zoom range. Video quality lagged behind stills. While in bright light, colors were nice, there was a lack of detail as well as exposure instabilities in pretty much all recording conditions. Video stabilization was ineffective, too, resulting in noticeable camera shake.

The Sony Xperia 10 V’s display had a very mixed performance. The device’s screen was comfortable to use when indoors, thanks to well-managed brightness and good color rendering. However, the device faltered when it came to watching movies and videos, scrolling the web or social networks, mainly because of its lack of smoothness in those use cases. The device’s very good management of frame drops was not enough to offset the device’s inability to read UHD and HDR videos, which drastically curtailed the video experience. Still, the Sony Xperia 10 V showed a slight improvement over its predecessor, the Xperia 10 IV, particularly in color and in the handling of screen artifacts.

Sony Xperia 10V Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News
There are two factors that make the Sony Xperia 10V smartphone an ideal deal in the mid-range smartphone segment. First of all, it provides an immersive design layout will an elegant camera module. Following this, the device also got good camera quality. Those two characteristics are quite good if you want to purchase a budget-friendly mid-range phone. However, if you prefer more performance and battery life, then this phone might not be the best deal for you. The phone has pretty good camera software that makes the photography aspect more exciting. But at the same time, the phone is lacking when it comes to faster refresh, more brightness, and many more things. However, it’s good to see that the company is providing various protection elements. Anyway, if we have to look for an alternative option, we would consider the Samsung Galaxy A54 as it provides a complete package of features.

Sony Xperia 10 V review: Long-distance runner
Source: Phone Arena
The Xperia 10 V is a great budget phone. It perfects an already great formula, adding stereo speakers, a brighter display, a slightly better main camera, and keeping the same stunning battery life in a very compact and lightweight package. There are some omissions worth pointing out, though. The 60 Hz display refresh rate is a thing of the past, even on budget phones. The side-mounted fingerprint reader could use some R&D work, and the price tag is pushing things a bit. The Snapdragon 695 is getting old now, and the lack of 4K video recording and streaming is another blow to the Xperia 10 V. But overall, if you like the Xperia aesthetics and the 21:9 screen, don't care about refresh rates, and you need a "Mo Farah" rather than a "Usain Bolt", this phone is a great option.

Sony Xperia 10 V review
Source: GSM Arena
Once again, not a lot has changed going from the Xperia 10 IV and even the 10 III to the new Xperia 10 V. That's both a good and a bad thing. If you are a fan of the iconic thin and tall, extra light design on the phone, there is just nothing else out there in the midrange space to offer an alternative. Similarly, the 21:9 display aspect ratio remains a pretty exclusive spotlight feature. Let's start with some positives first. The Xperia 10 V finally has a stereo speaker setup and a pretty good one at that - front-facing, well-balanced and decently loud, with a clean output. Making a return - the great ingress protection rating is hard to come by in the midranger space.

Comment
Model:
The latest to join the market is none other than the Sony Xperia 10V. As far as its design is concerned, this device comes in with a durable all-plastic build. Once again, the Sony design team are on point with the Xperia 10 V. While it might be that they are simply following the principles set by the Xperia brand team in a figurative bygone era, there is still an air of sophistication and timelessness about it. In addition, the smooth sides, generously rounded edges, and chocolate bar shape of the tall and slender device are incredibly easy on the eyes. The phone comes in various colours namely the standard black, soft and playful blue, green, and white options. Apart from that, it is worth noting that the mostly plastic build device tends to hold up well to an accidental bump, scrape, or slam unlike a glass-backed device, and with an IP65/68 dust and water resistance, which is basically unheard of at this price point, delivers an added peace of mind. Overall, the fact that it still looks premium without following the trends of glass and shimmery rear paint jobs is definitely something appreciable.
As for its display, the Xperia 10 V packs a brilliant 6.1-inch OLED panel into its uniquely-tall chassis, affording it the 21:9 aspect ratio. While the slimmer shape of the screen makes reaching the other side easy using the thumb in standard portrait mode when scrolling the web or social media, the expanded nature of it means reaching up for things like notifications requires extra effort as well. It is worth mentioning that the smartphone is great for multitasking, which would suit the aforementioned premium and professional look of Xperia devices as a whole. However, the refresh rate is stuck at the ageing 60Hz when so much of the competition has made the jump to 90– or 120Hz. Coming to its camera, this phone has been equipped with a 48MP primary camera, followed by a 2x telephoto lens and finally an ultrawide secondary lens. It is worth noting that, in the standard camera app, getting a great shot is not quite hard. It is exactly how one might expect, with all three of the lenses delivering solid results when lined up correctly. In terms of its performance, the smartphone carries a Snapdragon 695 5G chipset paired with 6GB RAM. While externally, the Sony Xperia V 10 can be said as a delight, the same cannot be true for the internal. The Snapdragon 695 5G chipset powering the whole operation just cannot keep up like some other top-tier phones in its mid-range price bracket. As for its battery, the device comes in with a 5000mAh battery which supports wireless charging as well. In a nutshell, it is a great phone to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the user.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

69.83%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
