Along with its 1V flagship model, Sony has just announced its latest midranger: the Xperia 10V. It’s the world’s lightest 5,000mAh smartphone currently on the market. Sitting at 159 grams, the handset is actually a couple of grams lighter than its predecessor.
The Sony Xperia 10 V retains the Snapdragon 695 chipset and 6GB/128GB memory combination from the Xperia 10 IV. Memory can still be expanded with microSD cards.
The 1080p OLED display is still 6.1 inches diagonal, but Sony claims it’s 1.5 times brighter than before. It refreshes only at 60Hz, which is quite disappointing in 2023. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, but the back and the frame, are still plastic to reach the weight of 159 grams.
The other notable upgrade is the main camera. The Xperia 10 V features a 48MP 1/2.0″ sensor with 0.8µm pixels and an f/1.8 lens with optical image stabilization. Alongside it sits an 8MP telephoto and ultrawide duo, both with f/ 2.2 Telephoto reach is 2x, while ultrawide is marketed with a 120 degree field of view. another 8MP unit.
The Xperia 10V is powered by a 5,000mAh battery, which promises to hold at least 80% capacity after three years. Charging speed hasn’t been revealed, but we’re betting it’s still 21W compared to Power Delivery.
Other notable features include IP65/68 water and dust resistance, 3.5mm audio jack with Hi-Res audio support, and a set of front-facing stereo speakers.
The Xperia 10 V will cost €449 in Europe and go on sale in mid-June. Note, however, that pre-orders and availability vary slightly from market to market.
