i agree with the notches as they look retarded, but if you look at google pixel 4a with a small punch hole in the top left corner, i think thats very tolerable and would alow smaller phone dimensions with smaller bezels while keeping the same screen size.

Sony phones despite all its flaws is still the best for watching videos without having a notch or dot on the screen. Its not the best as a phone but as a multimedia device its pretty good since its beginning until now. They never change their phones design form at all.

I had the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact from 2016-2023, over 7 years. Worked in Australia and travelling SE Asia, just swapped SIM cards. Never had overheating or software issues. Still got Xperia and general Android updates when needed. If it's not broken don't fix it. That phone had a bad drop and cracked the back and side of the body open. But it still worked lol! I upgraded to the Xperia 5 IV, 256GB model and happy with it. If it wasn't for the urgent replacement I would have got this Xperia 10 VI (mark 6), or the Xperia 5 V (mark 5).
У Sony лучшие телефоны. Да, по цифрам в характеристиках они может быть и уступают, но каждая составляющая работает на все сто процентов четко и без ошибок. Экран яркий, качественный и одно удовольствие. Потрясающий звук как по BT, так и по проводу. Никаких фризов и лагов. Камера в умелых руках делают крутые снимки, но признаю, автофокус далеко не самый шустрый. Кстати, в видео ошибка. Зум у Xperia 10 vi не цифровой, а тоже оптический - стоит активная линза с меняющимся фокусным расстоянием. Поэтому их теперь 2, а не 3 как было у 5го поколения. Водостойкость. При чём не только на бумаге. Телефон реально выдерживает погружение в воду на 30 минут вообще без проблем. Пластиковый корпус - но он тактильно потрясающий. И кстати, это самая лёгкая модель телефона в мире с таким объёмом аккумулятора. Потрясающий дизайн, цвет и дисплей 21:9 В общем, кому надо - может покупать и китайские телефоны с накрученными характеристиками, но тупыми по, тяжёлым весом, безвкусным дизайном и не водостойкие. Дело каждого. Я выбираю качество Sony, где важно дело, а не цифры на бумажке. Я уверен, что телефон отработает каждый потраченный на него цент. Спасибо большое за обзор. Комментарий пишу с Xperia 10 mark v
Соглашусь, что у Sony чистые прошивки без мусора, но что идеальны и без фризов и лагов - всё же не. Изредка можно словить подтормаживания или внезапный ребут. У меня 1 III с дикой печкой 888, у друга - 10 V, там иногда 695-му не хватает резвости. Очень жаль, что с пятерок отказались от диодного индикатора. Стоит копейки, а очень полезен. AOD это вообще не то.
Сонька должна поддерживать свою репутацию, поэтому делает нешустрые, но зато качественные телефоны. Я уверен каждый эксперия телефон без проблем проработает 5-10 лет. Если сам не сломаешь ))

I was looking for new phone last year, in the end got the 1 V My criteria is 4K 30fps, sd card and headphone jack. The 10 V was almost there, but inability to film 4K and lackluster chip performance killed it for me. If this exists back then, this will be 100% my pick

The charging system is not fast. They did it on purpose to maintain battery health. My friends with oppo phone vooc super fast charge.. Their battery after a year barely holds the charge , only last 6 hours.
Yes that's the Battery Care feature. Fast charging is great but it does wear out a battery faster. All brands have this issue: damaged or even exploding batteries. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was banned on all airlines due to the risk of fire and explosion. I've seen iPhones crack open from a swollen damaged battery. Especially from over-charging and overheat, heavy use while plugged in charging.
@@BAdventures It's crazy... i don't understand why people need to have 80% of their battery charged in 20 minutes. Just bring a battery power bank OR remember to plug your phone in when you have time. NO ONE out there is on the go go go go 24/7.... if you don't have an hour or so to wait for your phone to charge then you have bigger issues lol.
Adding value, good for you and your region. It's their niche market for a compact style phone, with 3.5mm audio jack, and Micro SD Card expansion slot, and no notch on screen.
I want to root for Sony phones, but the ones they release are mediocre with insanely high price. All plastic build, 60Hz display, weak Samsung fabbed 7 Gen 1 for 400€? No thanks, I'd rather get Poco F5 for the same price.
I agree , I have always wanted to try a Sony phone, thought about buying this one as a backup, hobby gadget but it's just bad value. I dont get it either
I've had the S22 for two years. Honestly, the battery isn't THAT bad. But, i can see i've been getting really annoying lag and stuttering. I have to return this one as my contract is up next month and have been looking for something cheap. I also looked at the Xperia 5 IV but it has the SAME shitty Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the S22.
this phone is going for 689 SGD in Singapore which is just ridiculously overpriced for a phone with very outdated specs. It's possible to get phones like the Redmi K70 Pro for under 600 SGD, and that's a phone with better build material, 120Hz 2K screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, etc. the Poco F6 and F6 Pro will be announced soon, and those will be cheaper, and run circles around the Xperia 10 VI as well in terms of hardware. Considering that performance is often one of the biggest indicator as to how well a phone will age in the long run (since apps/OS are getting heavier over time and more resource intensive), phones with well performing chips will last a lot longer, like iPhones for example. Apple A series chip is likely a big part of why a lot of their older devices are still so usable today since they had a good lead against its competitors back then. Considering that Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 was a low/mid range chip from 2022, and is just meh in terms of performance, i just don't see this phone aging well, just like a lot of their other 10 series devices. For all their talk of sustainability, removing cables, charger, recyclable packaging, etc, it's pointless when the phone itself might not last as long.
as much as i love 10 series and how pretty vi design looks, 10VI is literally overpriced as shit. Im having 10V and guess what 10VI is literally nothing but 10V with tele lens cut and improved SOC (but battery down). Everything else? exactly the same, and 689sgd? what a joke
Sharp selling Sense 8 with same spec sheet for $399 in indonesia. just about 3 monts and they already cut the price to $249 😂. japanese phones always overpriced.
@@rakesh1519 no ugly as hell asshole or notch display, not cutout rounded corners display and ugly tumour design or spider man eye camera module? Also the only one front stereo speaker?
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one when it gets cheaper. Using a Samsung s10e currently which is fantastic, but some of the worst battery life I've ever experienced. The Sony using that chipset should perform just fine and superior battery life at the cost of some performance.
Im so mad that im still considering this just because it has a headphone jack and an sd card. I hate usb adapter and dont use wireless so my options are limited.

@@devolk. All mentioned phones have better oled than xperia (even with high refresh rate), all of em has ip68 water resistant like xperia. They dont have 3,5 jack and have Gorilla Glass 5. 3,5 mm jack and sd card reader and maybe speakers is the only advantage it has. All other things are significantly worse. Outdated overpriced phone
Hi, what about quality of sound in headphones by jack 3.5? The same as 10 V or even better? Is good phone for listen music (better than 10 V)? Good for audiophils?
Есть такой параметр как «Frequency response». Поверь.. он будет ровный что в предыдущем SONY, что в этом. Разницу нужно лишь смотреть в усилении (как громко может играть)
Yes audio is good. Depends on your headphones. It's their niche market for a compact style phone, with 3.5mm audio jack, and Micro SD Card expansion slot, and no notch holes on screen.
In all sony phones the jack is nothing special. It's nice that it's there but don't expect any crazy DAC or quality like LG used to do. Yeah they could leverage this with their walkman legacy and all that but they probably won't not to canibalise the walkman sales.
5A giant company, one of the first global companies in the field of digital, but the only mistake it made was not to develop a processor of its own for phones.
Thanks for the Review. This 10VI I will consider, because Size, Price Point, Speaker, e-sim. No notch or dot. Sure there are better Phones and cheaper, but 6,5" and up. OS Updates until 17 is vor me enough.
There is no info about Hi-Res Audio. If you have new JBL Boombox 3 you Should buy Mi 11 Lite 5G, its half price cheaper and more options for sound quality!
Hello friends, I would like you to help me, what device do you recommend, this SONY XPERIA 1iii device OR THE SONY 10VI?? Since the 10VI model I see is more current but it is a mid-range, the other is a high-end from 3 years ago. Thanks in advance.
I've got a 10 VI for two days and overall that's a good device. Light in hands and good quality build. And above all the battery life is absolutely fantastic, 2 days of using at home and still up. SOT 9H30 and 30% left. But there's this major downside concerning the screen refreshing fixed at 60hz. I keep thinking about that when I'm using this phone. Especially when i see the rest of my family using smartphones ( from Motorola brand essentially) with a 120 hz refreshing, which is really more comfortable and everything seems virtually super fast on their device. Possibly for this reason I'll send my Xperia back to the resailler for a refund.
I'm using daily at work laptop with variable 120 Hz display refresh rate. Before that I had a gaming monitor with similar variable refresh rate. Never had an issue with my 60 Hz phone screen though. I think this is probably mainstream thing and not a big deal. Just don't think about that numbers 🙂 I'm thinking about getting Xperia 10 vi to replace pixel 4a. One interesting thing that I see a huge difference between macbook 120 and 60 Hz screens, it's a big deal for me. But not on phones. To sum all up: if it's not bothering you, just leave it as is. Nobody cares.
Australia has the same problem. Sony doesn't release products consistently in each country. That includes cameras, TV's, etc. Customers have complained for years. I ordered my Sony Xperia 5 IV 256GB model on the grey market. Look for online sellers that will ship to your region.
Notification LED?, atleast now it can record upto 4k while the 10 V didnt, but is a bummer still stuck @60hz could've atleast upped it to 90hz refresh rate.
Yeah, can't grow if they don't sell in major markets.. I don't think they sell the new one in the USA neither. Only a few more years of Sony phones at this pace
NOT FOR AMERICA & NOT FOR EUROPE ??? In EU we need 25fps from a Sony phone! Did SONY actually removed 25fps - Pal mode ??? All previous version had 25fps for EU Countries (with 230V 50Hz) No feature is more important than having usable framerates especially for SONY camera users (your No.1 customers) Even more when this will not be released in America (if i understood correct) WHY ? Because without it we get extreme flickering at most artificial light conditions. To avoid this we will have to adjust the shutter speed at every shooting condition (requires knowledge), while sacrificing motion blur control and ease of use! We were expecting an upgrade with 50fps and 100fps also in EU. We don't mind the screen changes with it's pros and cons that much... 85-170 lens gives more reach but image is still soft, Macro mode better - Night mode bit better.... Good additions BUT........... We were waiting for this SONY mobile for months and now you give us no choice than to buy an the iphone with over sharpened footage, no sd card slot, no 3.5 mm audio jack.
CPU: Qualcomm SM6450 Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 (4 nm), 8-core. Look up the specs. I'm sure the CPU upgrade helped with the camera image processing, both still photo and video. It's their niche market: compact phone, stock Android, 3.5mm audio jack, Micro SD Card expansion slot, and no notch holes on screen.
I seriously wonder why someone would buy this phone instead of other midrange phones like Galaxy A55 or Pixel 8a, unless you really need a headphone jack or expandable storage. Since battery life is about on par with other phones now, it has no stand out benefits anymore in my opinion. Oh and still a 60hz screen?? Fail.

Plastic doesn't break like glass when it falls. It's the only compact phone inthis price point. More expensive Iphone 15 has only 60Hz but no one complains.
The absolutely ridiculous disconnection from the rest of the world. Whoever decided to put a 60Hz display in 2024 should be publicly shamed and blacklisted from ever working in tech industry.

IP65 means protection against lighter water jets, while IP68 means protection against 1.5m of submersion, but IP68 does not include protection against jets, so that's where the IP65/IP68 comes from.
Real life case: it's okay to use phone under rain or accidentally spill a glass of water on it. You can wash phone with water and soap sometimes if you need too. You can immerse it in water but you shouldn't (no warranty).
I can't wait to test it..from having 20-20 000hz in bluetooth TO 5-100 000hz on a MDR headphone.. If you love music this is the way to listen to it. period.
@@matthewkuhl79 i'll ditch the headphone jack to get a near flagship experience rather staying at 60hz even though i dont use high refresh rate that much but still thats a bonus to have and having a snapdragon 6 gen 1 for 2024? such a pity its like having an entry level type of phone for a midranger price

@BAdventures Mark V series is still good. Xperia 5 is the best in terms of design and specs. If im only not tied to my s23 plus I would get Xperia or Nothing since Pixel is not selling in my country (PH).
Conclusion: Get yourself an A55. Only redeeming features are the headphone jack and expandable storage. Not enough to make up for that crazy price. Even some of the cheapest Samsung devices offer at least a 90Hz display. its also strange that the battery life is worse than last year. Its still good, but it should be better than its predecessor, not worse.
I think i will buy one. Because of the sd slot (when phone crashes, you still have your pictures on the sd card) and because of the 3,5mm jack. And i also do not trust the chinese stuff!
sorry this phone isnt the better but it has a headphone jack and micrSD card slot, so perfect for someone that enjoys music:) there are others phones too but those are mediatek 🤣🤣

Not having the software for manual camera control when their 5 and 1 camera phone series are going up in price and quality is a total mistake. It’s just a software switch over with some slight alterations. I bet. yet they’re locking out potential customers. I had the 5ii and loved it but then the Samsung built panel made those green lines after only 2 years, thinking of switching iPhone for better quality control now. I’m also sick of how android has become more laggy over time.

are you joking? The PS division cant even design a proper console with proper features. Not even to talk about the goofy childish design.
У Sony лучшие телефоны. Да, по цифрам в характеристиках они может быть и уступают, но каждая составляющая работает на все сто процентов четко и без ошибок.
Экран яркий, качественный и одно удовольствие.
Потрясающий звук как по BT, так и по проводу.
Никаких фризов и лагов.
Камера в умелых руках делают крутые снимки, но признаю, автофокус далеко не самый шустрый. Кстати, в видео ошибка. Зум у Xperia 10 vi не цифровой, а тоже оптический - стоит активная линза с меняющимся фокусным расстоянием. Поэтому их теперь 2, а не 3 как было у 5го поколения.
Водостойкость. При чём не только на бумаге. Телефон реально выдерживает погружение в воду на 30 минут вообще без проблем.
Пластиковый корпус - но он тактильно потрясающий. И кстати, это самая лёгкая модель телефона в мире с таким объёмом аккумулятора.
Потрясающий дизайн, цвет и дисплей 21:9
В общем, кому надо - может покупать и китайские телефоны с накрученными характеристиками, но тупыми по, тяжёлым весом, безвкусным дизайном и не водостойкие. Дело каждого.
Я выбираю качество Sony, где важно дело, а не цифры на бумажке. Я уверен, что телефон отработает каждый потраченный на него цент.
Спасибо большое за обзор. Комментарий пишу с Xperia 10 mark v
Соглашусь, что у Sony чистые прошивки без мусора, но что идеальны и без фризов и лагов - всё же не. Изредка можно словить подтормаживания или внезапный ребут. У меня 1 III с дикой печкой 888, у друга - 10 V, там иногда 695-му не хватает резвости.
Очень жаль, что с пятерок отказались от диодного индикатора. Стоит копейки, а очень полезен. AOD это вообще не то.
Сонька должна поддерживать свою репутацию, поэтому делает нешустрые, но зато качественные телефоны. Я уверен каждый эксперия телефон без проблем проработает 5-10 лет. Если сам не сломаешь ))

I had the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact from 2016-2023, over 7 years. Worked in Australia and travelling SE Asia, just swapped SIM cards. Never had overheating or software issues. Still got Xperia and general Android updates when needed. If it's not broken don't fix it. That phone had a bad drop and cracked the back and side of the body open. But it still worked lol! I upgraded to the Xperia 5 IV, 256GB model and happy with it. If it wasn't for the urgent replacement I would have got this Xperia 10 VI (mark 6), or the Xperia 5 V (mark 5).
Now i know why Steve Jobs loved Sony so much...
Why?
I was looking for new phone last year, in the end got the 1 V
My criteria is 4K 30fps, sd card and headphone jack. The 10 V was almost there, but inability to film 4K and lackluster chip performance killed it for me.
If this exists back then, this will be 100% my pick

The charging system is not fast.
They did it on purpose to maintain battery health. My friends with oppo phone vooc super fast charge.. Their battery after a year barely holds the charge , only last 6 hours.
Yes that's the Battery Care feature. Fast charging is great but it does wear out a battery faster. All brands have this issue: damaged or even exploding batteries. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was banned on all airlines due to the risk of fire and explosion. I've seen iPhones crack open from a swollen damaged battery. Especially from over-charging and overheat, heavy use while plugged in charging.
@@BAdventures It's crazy... i don't understand why people need to have 80% of their battery charged in 20 minutes. Just bring a battery power bank OR remember to plug your phone in when you have time. NO ONE out there is on the go go go go 24/7.... if you don't have an hour or so to wait for your phone to charge then you have bigger issues lol.

its rare to see gsmarena has sponsor, hope the financial is ok there
I want to root for Sony phones, but the ones they release are mediocre with insanely high price. All plastic build, 60Hz display, weak Samsung fabbed 7 Gen 1 for 400€? No thanks, I'd rather get Poco F5 for the same price.
Sony is borderline suicidal, no one in their right mind would buy this
I agree , I have always wanted to try a Sony phone, thought about buying this one as a backup, hobby gadget but it's just bad value. I dont get it either
The bezels!!!
Not even 7 gen 1 ,its 6 gen 1
just got the poco x6 pro with 12gb ram 512gb storage 67w charging for £300..it's a brilliant phone
Thank you so much for reviewing such a rare phone❤
The Xperia 10 vi and the Samsung galaxy s22 are the same price now. With the S22 having such bad battery am I better off getting the Sony?
Or you pay a hundred bucks more and get the S23.
I've had the S22 for two years. Honestly, the battery isn't THAT bad. But, i can see i've been getting really annoying lag and stuttering. I have to return this one as my contract is up next month and have been looking for something cheap. I also looked at the Xperia 5 IV but it has the SAME shitty Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the S22.
this phone is going for 689 SGD in Singapore which is just ridiculously overpriced for a phone with very outdated specs. It's possible to get phones like the Redmi K70 Pro for under 600 SGD, and that's a phone with better build material, 120Hz 2K screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, etc. the Poco F6 and F6 Pro will be announced soon, and those will be cheaper, and run circles around the Xperia 10 VI as well in terms of hardware. Considering that performance is often one of the biggest indicator as to how well a phone will age in the long run (since apps/OS are getting heavier over time and more resource intensive), phones with well performing chips will last a lot longer, like iPhones for example. Apple A series chip is likely a big part of why a lot of their older devices are still so usable today since they had a good lead against its competitors back then. Considering that Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 was a low/mid range chip from 2022, and is just meh in terms of performance, i just don't see this phone aging well, just like a lot of their other 10 series devices. For all their talk of sustainability, removing cables, charger, recyclable packaging, etc, it's pointless when the phone itself might not last as long.
as much as i love 10 series and how pretty vi design looks, 10VI is literally overpriced as shit.
Im having 10V and guess what 10VI is literally nothing but 10V with tele lens cut and improved SOC (but battery down). Everything else? exactly the same, and 689sgd? what a joke
Sharp selling Sense 8 with same spec sheet for $399 in indonesia. just about 3 monts and they already cut the price to $249 😂. japanese phones always overpriced.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one when it gets cheaper. Using a Samsung s10e currently which is fantastic, but some of the worst battery life I've ever experienced. The Sony using that chipset should perform just fine and superior battery life at the cost of some performance.
Two important advantages: no notch. 3.5mm audio jack. Nuff said.

In all sony phones the jack is nothing special. It's nice that it's there but don't expect any crazy DAC or quality like LG used to do. Yeah they could leverage this with their walkman legacy and all that but they probably won't not to canibalise the walkman sales.
Of course it's good for audiophils from having 20-20 000hz in bluetooth TO 5-100 000hz on a MDR headphone.

1,299? ❌ No no no

90hz at least
I don't understand how sony 10 vi battery life test is lower than 1 vi???
Thanks for the Review. This 10VI I will consider, because Size, Price Point, Speaker, e-sim. No notch or dot. Sure there are better Phones and cheaper, but 6,5" and up. OS Updates until 17 is vor me enough.
There is no info about Hi-Res Audio. If you have new JBL Boombox 3 you Should buy Mi 11 Lite 5G, its half price cheaper and more options for sound quality!
Hello friends, I would like you to help me, what device do you recommend, this SONY XPERIA 1iii device OR THE SONY 10VI?? Since the 10VI model I see is more current but it is a mid-range, the other is a high-end from 3 years ago. Thanks in advance.
Does 10VI have eye af too?
I've got a 10 VI for two days and overall that's a good device. Light in hands and good quality build. And above all the battery life is absolutely fantastic, 2 days of using at home and still up. SOT 9H30 and 30% left. But there's this major downside concerning the screen refreshing fixed at 60hz. I keep thinking about that when I'm using this phone. Especially when i see the rest of my family using smartphones ( from Motorola brand essentially) with a 120 hz refreshing, which is really more comfortable and everything seems virtually super fast on their device. Possibly for this reason I'll send my Xperia back to the resailler for a refund.
I'm using daily at work laptop with variable 120 Hz display refresh rate. Before that I had a gaming monitor with similar variable refresh rate. Never had an issue with my 60 Hz phone screen though. I think this is probably mainstream thing and not a big deal. Just don't think about that numbers 🙂 I'm thinking about getting Xperia 10 vi to replace pixel 4a. One interesting thing that I see a huge difference between macbook 120 and 60 Hz screens, it's a big deal for me. But not on phones. To sum all up: if it's not bothering you, just leave it as is. Nobody cares.
Shame I can't buy it. Not available for the USA market
Australia has the same problem. Sony doesn't release products consistently in each country. That includes cameras, TV's, etc. Customers have complained for years. I ordered my Sony Xperia 5 IV 256GB model on the grey market. Look for online sellers that will ship to your region.
Notification LED?, atleast now it can record upto 4k while the 10 V didnt, but is a bummer still stuck @60hz could've atleast upped it to 90hz refresh rate.

Yeah, can't grow if they don't sell in major markets.. I don't think they sell the new one in the USA neither. Only a few more years of Sony phones at this pace
No longer Canada either....
Will it be possible to use this phone in the USA?
its really a beautiful phone ❤❤
NOT FOR AMERICA & NOT FOR EUROPE ???
In EU we need 25fps from a Sony phone!
Did SONY actually removed 25fps - Pal mode ???
All previous version had 25fps for EU Countries (with 230V 50Hz)
No feature is more important than having usable framerates especially for SONY camera users (your No.1 customers)
Even more when this will not be released in America (if i understood correct)
WHY ?
Because without it we get extreme flickering at most artificial light conditions.
To avoid this we will have to adjust the shutter speed at every shooting condition (requires knowledge), while sacrificing motion blur control and ease of use!
We were expecting an upgrade with 50fps and 100fps also in EU.
We don't mind the screen changes with it's pros and cons that much...
85-170 lens gives more reach but image is still soft, Macro mode better - Night mode bit better.... Good additions BUT...........
We were waiting for this SONY mobile for months and now you give us no choice than to buy an the iphone with over sharpened footage, no sd card slot, no 3.5 mm audio jack.
Rubbish.
60hz với tôi không phải là vấn đề, pixel 6a đang dùng vẫn 60hz. Quan trọng là khả năng quay 4k đã quay lại, điều mà 10iv và 10v đã k làm dc.

I seriously wonder why someone would buy this phone instead of other midrange phones like Galaxy A55 or Pixel 8a, unless you really need a headphone jack or expandable storage. Since battery life is about on par with other phones now, it has no stand out benefits anymore in my opinion. Oh and still a 60hz screen?? Fail.

What US carrier does it work flawlessly with though?
Plastic doesn't break like glass when it falls. It's the only compact phone inthis price point. More expensive Iphone 15 has only 60Hz but no one complains.
What a disappointment, I was hoping for some serious upgrades that could justify its price to performance but this ain't looking too good.

ip 65/68 ???? What the hell does that mean?
IP65 means protection against lighter water jets, while IP68 means protection against 1.5m of submersion, but IP68 does not include protection against jets, so that's where the IP65/IP68 comes from.
Real life case: it's okay to use phone under rain or accidentally spill a glass of water on it. You can wash phone with water and soap sometimes if you need too. You can immerse it in water but you shouldn't (no warranty).

Not having the software for manual camera control when their 5 and 1 camera phone series are going up in price and quality is a total mistake. It’s just a software switch over with some slight alterations. I bet. yet they’re locking out potential customers.
I had the 5ii and loved it but then the Samsung built panel made those green lines after only 2 years, thinking of switching iPhone for better quality control now.
