About this deal

thick Sony Xperia 1 V weighs 187g – still not a heavyweight compared to the likes of the 240g iPhone 14 Pro Max, but still weightier than its cheaper sibling likely due in part to the larger 6. Like the Xperia 1 V, we’ve not gone hands-on with the Xperia 10 V just yet, but with experience using Snapdragon 695-equipped phones like the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, we expect performance to be fine overall, though it may not be able to power some AAA titles with high-level textures enabled. If you want a device that covers all the bases and are willing to invest a bit more, the Xperia 5 V is your best bet.

Combined with the relatively low-powered internals, everything just feels a little stilted and sluggish as a result. While we’ve not benchmarked the Xperia 1 V just yet, we have used plenty of 2023 flagships with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 so we have a good idea of just how well the phone will perform. You have some customization options for the display, such as the color temperature, and image quality, but it's basic stuff, and there's no always-on option. The small squares across the boundaries of the triangle are the reference points for the various colors, while the small dots are the actual measurements.It’s easy to reach for both left- and right-handers, and was perfectly accurate throughout our testing.

And speaking of cameras, though you won't get a telephoto with the Pixel 6a, it is hard to compete with Google's prowess in computational photography. The Xperia 10 V packs a brilliant OLED panel into its uniquely-tall chassis, affording it the 21:9 aspect ratio Sony is still relying on to peddle its devices as superior cinephile setups. In practice, it's very hard to make this feature work consistently, and most people would probably just turn it off after a couple of hits and misses. Other than that, it's the standard Android experience; there's no fancy pro-grade creator's stuff here, just your basic stuff.

There aren’t any visual clues that this phone has both IP65 and IP68 ratings, which is as dust- and water-resistant as midrange blowers get. At first, I was pretty skeptical about this idea of removing accessories to save the planet (how about offering 5 years of software support instead, cutting electronic waste, and making people hold on to their phones?

Detail-wise, the Xperia 10 V continues to impress, as the finer wrinkles on Galen Erso’s face are nicely defined, as well as the folds on the villainous Krennic’s cape. I took it on a 10-mile bike ride through towns and a local park along the canal, snapping wide-angle shots of the lake and its feathered friends. Due to the lightweight plastic build, the entire phone rattles and buzzes whenever it attempts haptic feedback, making typing a somewhat jarring experience.In practice, the images that the 10 V captures aren’t anything particularly great, with a definite lack of detail and depth, and colours tend to look a bit washed out, but it gets the job done in a pinch.
