Sony has just announced its latest generation Xperia 1 V flagship smartphone in the market. And alongside this model, it has also launched a new Xperia 10 V premium mid range model, which features some notable specs and features. So let’s have a look.

Design & Display

The Xperia 10 V from the Japanese tech giant arrives with various improvements over its predecessor, which includes a lighter build overall as well. It weighs just 159 grams thanks to its plastic side frame and rear panel, which is also IP65/68 water and dust resistant. Although, the front is protected via a Gorilla Glass Victus.

The device sports a 6.1 inch OLED display that unfortunately only offers 60Hz refresh rate with 120Hz touch sampling rate and Full HD+ resolution. This screen also has a 21:9 aspect ratio, 97 percent DCI P3 color gamut, 10 bit tonal gradation, and a rather noticeable chin and top bezel. The company also claims that the display is around 1.5 times brighter than the previous generation.

Specifications

Under the hood, the Sony Xperia 10 V is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC that is paired with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. The memory can be further expanded by up to 1tB via a microSD card slot. The device is powered by a 5,000mAh battery pack as well, which makes this device the lightest 5G enabled smartphone with such a large battery capacity.

This battery pack also supports some form of fast charging, but this detail wasn’t clearly revealed. So we can expect it to be around 30W, which is the same as its predecessor, which supported 21W fast charging. Other notable features include, 3.5mm audio jack, Qualcomm aptX adaptive, NFC, side mounted fingerprint scanner, 60 Reality Audio Certified, 360 Reality Audio Upmix, DSEE Ultimate, and Stereo Recording.

Camera

The cameras are undoubtedly the highlight of this mid range smartphone. The company has just announced the Xperia 1 V, which featured some notable camera improvements and innovations. But the brand is still offering a great photography experience from its Xperia 10 V’s triple camera setup as well. The primary sensor is a 48 megapixel Exmor RS sensor, which is again 1.6 times larger than the previous model thanks to its 1/2.0 inch sensor size. This also supports hybrid OIS/EIS, f/1.8 aperture, and 80° field of view.

Alongside the primary camera, there is an 8 megapixel telephoto lens that offers up to 10x hybrid zoom, f/2.4 aperture, and 1/4.4 inch sensor size. Lastly, the device’s last sensor is an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens that has a f/2.2 aperture and 120° ultra wide angle lens. On the other hand, the Xperia 10 V houses an 8 megapixel selfie camera on the front that has a f/2.0 aperture, 1/4 inch sensor size, 1.12μm pixel size, 78° wide angle lens.

Pricing & Availability

The Sony Xperia 10 V has been launched in multiple color options, which includes a Lavender, Sage Green, White, and Black variants. It has a price tag of 449 EUR or around 493 US Dollars. The smartphone will go on sale in Europe, UK, and a few other regions sometime in the middle of June 2023.
