Earlier today, Sony unveiled the Xperia 10 V, a new mid-range smartphone that joins the company’s latest flagship, the 1 V. It is now the world’s lightest 5,000 mAh smartphone. The phone weighs 159 grams, which is a few grams less than its predecessor.
Sony claims that the 6.1-inch 1080p OLED display is 1.5 times brighter than before. But it only refreshes at 60Hz, which is disappointing. Gorilla Glass protects the Victus’ screen, but the back and frame are still made of plastic to keep the 159g weight down.
Another notable improvement is the primary camera. The Xperia 10 V’s 48MP 1/2.0″ sensor and f/1.8 lens each have 0.8 megapixels and optical image stabilization. Next to it are 8MP telephoto and ultra-wide-angle lenses with f/2.2 aperture. The ultra-wide-angle lens is marketed with a 120-degree field of view, while the telephoto lens has a 2x wider reach. The telephoto lens is one of the distinguishing features of phones in the mid-range market, so it’s good to see it’s still available. There is also an 8MP camera for taking selfies.
The Xperia 10 V packs a 5,000mAh battery and is guaranteed to last at least 80% full after three years. Although the charging rate is not specified, we can guess that it is still 21W faster than Power Delivery.
Under the hood, we have the Snapdragon 695 processor and 6GB/128GB memory combination. However, there is a microSD card which will allow you to expand the storage.
Other notable features include front-facing stereo speakers, a 3.5mm audio jack with Hi-Res audio playback, and IP65/68 water and dust protection.
In Europe, the Xperia 10 V will cost €449 and will be available for sale in mid-June. Note that pre-ordering and availability may vary slightly from region to region.
