If the Sony Xperia 1 VI is far too premium for your wallet, Sony also announced a follow-up to its mid-ranger Sony Xperia 10 series that should be easy on most people’s bank accounts. The new Sony Xperia 10 VI features a large capacity battery for 2-day use, a lightweight body (it’s just 164g) for easy one-hand operation, and a water-resistant display with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for added durability.
The Sony Xperia 10 VI is powered by Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 Mobile Platform and the device is optimized for reduced power consumption and extended video playback. It is backed by 8 GB memory and 128 GB UFS storage, which is expandable up to 1.5 TB via microSDXC card.
This could be a budget content creator device – thanks to the new “Video Creator” app that enables easy video editing. OK. Maybe not quite but anyways, it has a dual camera setup comprising a 48 MP 1/2.0” Exmor RS for mobile sensor and an 8 MP 1/4” sensor wide-angle camera. Meanwhile, the front has an 8 MP 1/4” sensor selfie camera.
Other spec sheet details include a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with ‘Triluminous Display for mobile, front stereo speakers with a wider dynamic range than the previous model, IP65/IP68 rated for dust and waterproof, Hi-Res Audio, LDAC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, dual SIM support, fingerprint sensor, USB 2.0 with Type-C interface, and a 5,000 mAh battery that support for USB PD. Unfortunately, the display is just 60 Hz. But hey, at least it is OLED, right?
The Sony Xperia 10 VI will be available in Blue, Black, and White from the middle of June onwards for £349/€399. It looks like it ain’t coming to NA either.
