Reviews for the Sony Xperia 10 VI

77.3% Sony Xperia 10 VI smartphone review: Compact, lightweight, waterproof, and with remarkable endurance | Notebookcheck
The Xperia 10 VI is a small and handy smartphone. However, this mid-range mobile phone boasts a very long battery life, which is often a weak point in compact phones. Read the Sony Xperia 10 review to find out if this makes the Sony phone a worthwhile investment.
100% Sony Xperia 10 VI review

Sony’s ability to deliver a phone this talented in the picture and sound department for this price should be studied by other manufacturers. We’ve seen phones that cost double or even triple the price of the Xperia 10 VI unable to deliver a performance like this; thus proving that you don’t need to spend ludicrous amounts of money if you want a handset that doubles as an impressive portable music and movie player.

54% Sony Xperia 10 VI Review: The Last of the 21:9 Mohicans
Source: Phone Arena English
The Xperia 10 VI is still a pretty niche device. It carries over the 21:9 aspect ratio that Sony ditched with the flagship, so if you fancy long and narrow phones, you might like this one. The phone has a great screen, albeit capable of only 60Hz, and it's also pretty lightweight and comfortable to use. Couple that with the added bonus of a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack, and you get the typical Xperia package. However, the competition in this price range is pretty fierce. The Xperia costs around $431 (after conversion from 399 euros), and for that kind of money, you have options. The Nothing Phone (2a) is cheaper and performs better in almost every department, and if you add a few bucks, you can get the Pixel 8a, which is a better phone hands down. The Galaxy A55 is cheaper as well, and it comes with a 120Hz display plus longer software support. Choosing the Xperia 10 VI over the aforementioned phone might be a hard decision that might not pay off.

Sony has updated its midrange Xperia 10 for 2024, and Mark VI is here. In many ways, Sony is keeping the formula the unchanged - you get a compact device with a quirky aspect ratio that's so easy to love once you give it a chance. Check out our video review to learn ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about the phone's top features, build and screen quality, battery life, performance, and camera image quality.

74% Sony Xperia 10 VI review
Source: GSM Arena English
The Xperia 10 VI is a truly unique device; there are no two ways about it. Its dimensions alone make it stand out. While the Xperia 1 VI decided to go for a more standard display aspect ratio this time around, the Xperia 10 VI stuck to its roots and still offers a cinematic 21:9 display. Other great features it continues to offer include a lightweight body made in part from recycled and environmentally-friendly plastics, IP68 ingress protection, a powerful and very clean stereo speaker setup, a 3.5mm audio jack, great battery life and expandable storage. However, the Xperia 10 VI isn't a perfect device. Frankly, we aren't even talking about the obvious omission of the telephoto camera from last year since the main camera mostly picks up the slack with its digital 2x zoom decently well.

SD 6 Gen 1: Mid-range SoC with 8 Kryo cores (4x ARM Cortex A78 2.2 GHz performance cluster, 4x ARM Cortex A55 with 1.8 efficiency cluster) and an X62 5G modem (up to 2900 Mbps download). The chip is manufactured using the modern 4nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.10":

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.

76.59%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
