Sony introduces the Xperia 10 VI with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and 60 Hz display

As scheduled, Sony has now officially debuted its two new smartphones for the year, the Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI. While the Xperia 1 VI is the star of the show, the Xperia 10 IV slots in as the company's mid-range offering for the year, with an MSRP that matches its hardware.

The Xperia 1 VI sports a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED, sadly limited to 60 Hz in an era where even entry-level devices offer 120 Hz screens. On the flip side, though, the 10 VI is IP68-rated. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage. Sony's website fails to mention any other SKUs so it appears 8/128 GB is the only available Xperia 10 VI configuration. A microSD slot is present, however. 

Camera-wise, the Xperia 10 VI features a 1/2" 48 MP main camera aided by an 8 MP ultra-wide snapper and another 8 MP out in front. Other specs of the mid-range phone include a 5000 mAh battery, Android 14, three years of OS upgrades, four years of security updates, 30 W charging, a 3.5 mm jack, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

The Xperia 10 VI is available in three colorways: Blue, White, and Goji Black. Pricing is pegged at €399/£349, and the phone is already listed for pre-orders on Sony's website with WH-CH520 headphones as a gift. Shipping begins on June 10 in Germany, and June 13 in the UK.
