Xperia 10 V Review: Decent Performance, Impressive Camera, 5,000mAh Battery for 175 Hours of Standby Time (Updated: 05/23)

With the latest Xperia 10 model, Sony continues to use the Snapdragon 695 chipset, and many users have expressed disappointment with this decision. Nevertheless, it's not all bad as the Snapdragon 695 is still a capable 5G chip with excellent performance for mid-range devices.

Snapdragon 695 is manufactured on a 6nm process with 8 cores (max clock speed of 2.2 GHz) and comes with the Adreno 619 GPU for impressive performance. However, for a more detailed perspective, here are the benchmark scores that GSMArena conducted with the Xperia 10 V.

Starting with the GeekBench 6 test, we can clearly see that the Xperia 10 V shows no improvement compared to its predecessor, Xperia 10 IV. In fact, the latest Xperia 10 model has results not significantly different from the previous generation, Sony Xperia 10 III.

Similar to its predecessor, Sony Xperia 10 V is powered by a 5,000mAh battery. Additionally, since the Xperia 10 V uses the same processor and screen technology, the battery life of Sony Xperia 10 V will not differ significantly from Xperia 10 IV. To find out more, let's delve into the battery test conducted by GSMArena.

Exceeding the expectations of GSMArena, Sony Xperia 10 V delivers an impressive usage time compared to the previous generation. Perhaps due to some software optimizations implemented by Sony, Xperia 10 V achieves a total standby time of up to 175 hours in GSMArena's battery test. 

Furthermore, the author tested the battery of Xperia 10 V during various tasks, yielding specific results as follows:

• Video playback: Lasts for 34 hours and 14 minutes.
• Web browsing: Lasts for 22 hours and 16 minutes.
• Phone calls: Lasts for 36 hours and 26 minutes.

Most people will recall the Omni Balance design language whenever Sony Xperia phones are mentioned. While it's commendable that the product line maintains its distinctive look, it also means that the appearance of Sony Xperia 10 V doesn't deviate significantly from previous generations.

Specifically, Xperia 10 V retains its square form with gently curved corners. The back of the device is crafted from plastic with a matte coating to resist fingerprints and sweat during use. The highlight of Xperia 10 V remains the elongated oval camera module, slightly protruding from the back and housing three lenses. Above this camera frame is the LED flash.

Notably, Xperia 10 V is also the world's lightest phone with a 5,000 mAh battery as of now. Specifically, Sony Xperia 10 V weighs only 159 g (lighter than the 161 g Sony Xperia 10 IV) despite featuring more enhancements than the previous generation, such as a 5,000 mAh battery and a larger screen. The overall dimensions of this phone are 155 x 68 x 8.3 mm, slightly larger than the Xperia 10 V.
