SonyXperia 10 VI - 6.1 Inch 21:9 Wide OLED - Three optical focal lengths - Lightweight - Android 14 - SIM free - 128GB storage - IP65/68 rating - Dual SIM hybrid 1-36 months warranty - Black

I purchased this in a black Friday deal as it was good value for money because my previous Sony Xperia 5 iii stopped working after they shut down the 3G network. The shape and size is very similar to that of Xperia five however the functionality is not as good. I mis having a dedicated photo button and I liked having the Google search button also. The picture qualities what would be expected for this price level phone. I find that the battery life is good, nowhere near the two days advertised. But it does last of all day without needing to be charged. I've had no issue with lag, no speed problems when opening the apps and I didn't really expect any as Sony generally makes decent quality phones. I think that if you want a good quality phone that allows you to use all of the apps associate with the Google Android phone then this is fine .only thing I didn't like was how heavily it's used some of the Google apps and I opted to use alternatives which didn't have a pay premium for advanced functions.

Overall working well for me , battery 🔋 good also

Long battery life. A whole day constant used no problem. Nice size for the hand. Camera is nothing to talk about but it does the job. I've had to restart it 3 times so far due to slow down and apps not working

Really fast and friendly seller:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️service! My item arrived on time and was in an excellent condition too! The seller gave a very fast and friendly prompt, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️service! As for the phone, works very well I highly recommend any of Sony’s products, as well as being very reliable too!

There are some really good things going for it; headphone jack (although see issue below), no notch/punch hole, symmetrical both vertical and horizontal, 4 years of security updates (finally Sony!).The camera is reasonable. 60fps 1080 video, plus a slow motion option (unsure of the fps on that). Sometimes struggles to focus and low light photos not the best but perfectly acceptable. You do get manual control over the focus and shutter speed as options you can enable in the settings, but in general the shutter speed is not great causing bury subjects if any movement.There are some things I don't understand and are putting me off slightly; no "always on display" despite being OLED, the side bezels should be much thinner and the phone feels quite chunky, there's a huge space next to the battery icon so the status bar looks very uneven with no way to move the clock to the right.The power button doesn't feel great and having the power button be the finger print sensor too I'm struggling to get used to, eg if I just want to turn it off it might immediately then read my finger and unlock. I'm trying to change my method by using a different finger to turn it off, but having it vibrate and complain about a bad finger print read doesn't seem like the most elegant solution. I wish the reader was somewhere else.GSMArena said it had an issue with colour shift. I think this is true on a bright white screen but once you have content on the screen (or dark mode) I cannot see any issue with the colours with any viewing angle.A new issue that I've just noticed is the screen will randomly wake up when sitting on my desk, for what appears to be no reason (no new notifications). I'm trying to find a pattern to this behaviour. Update: some days later I've not noticed this happen again, but I have noticed a new issue; when listening via wired headphones there is a constant crackle. I didn't notice when listening to music but as soon as I listen to a podcast or youtube video with just someone talking, it's very noticeable and seems to stop when there is silence. It's not the straw that broke the camel's back, but an unforgivable issue. I'll need to find something else.

I understand it’s a mid range device, but it was too slow for me and had a few technical issues that were irritating

Not sure I understand the negative comments around speed of the device and freezing. Just upgraded from the 10II to 10VI and the speed difference is massive. The phone is very responsive, I love the dual sim ability, camera is good with the added option of Bokeh. The slim design and format is easily held in the hand and the battery last longer than a lot of premium phones.

Don't buy this if you want a camera phone.The battery is fantastic and I like the form factor, but Sony have delivered a turkey when it comes to the camera on this device. It's dire. In spite of sensor size, it's considerably worse than something like the Pixel 4a. Dynamic range is abysmal and it takes pictures like it has slow shutter speed, so if your subject moves an inch, your picture will be blurry.I delete 80% of pictures because of blur and the 20% that remain are not particularly crisp or well lit. Sony! What a let down!I'm considering returning it.
