Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Sony Xperia 10 IV (6GB + 128GB)

  • Exceptional, record-setting battery life, often lasting two full days with typical use.
  • Extremely lightweight and compact design, making it easy to hold and slip into a pocket.
  • Durable build quality with an IP65/IP68 dust and water resistance rating and Gorilla Glass Victus on the front, features rarely seen in its price range.
  • A bright, vivid 6-inch OLED display with good color accuracy and no camera cutout/notch, ideal for content consumption in its intended 21:9 aspect ratio.
  • Includes a 3.5mm audio jack and a microSD card slot, features often omitted from modern phones.
  • Clean, near-stock Android software experience with minimal bloatware.
  • Features a dedicated 2x optical telephoto camera lens, which is a rare inclusion in the mid-range segment.
  • Decent performance for basic everyday tasks like browsing and messaging, with 5G connectivity support.

What we don't like about Sony Xperia 10 IV (6GB + 128GB)

  • Underwhelming performance and a slow user interface, especially compared to rivals; it can stutter when multitasking or gaming.
  • The display has a standard 60Hz refresh rate, which feels outdated and less fluid compared to the 90Hz or 120Hz panels on many competitors.
  • Mediocre camera performance, particularly in low light conditions, with slow image processing and inconsistent results.
  • Slow charging speeds (max 20W support) and no wireless charging, a significant drawback compared to the competition.
  • Features only a single, weak mono speaker, resulting in a poor audio experience without headphones.
  • Video recording capabilities are limited, maxing out at 1080p resolution, a downgrade from its predecessor.
  • Comes with no charger or USB cable in the box, a point of frustration for users given the price point.
  • Some users report a potentially unreliable side-mounted fingerprint scanner and weak Wi-Fi/mobile network reception.

Verdict

The Sony Xperia 10 IV (6GB + 128GB) is a compact, lightweight 5G smartphone (161g) powered by the Snapdragon 695 5G Mobile Platform, featuring a 6.0-inch 21:9 FHD+ OLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and IP65/68 water and dust resistance. Key pros are its exceptional, class-leading 5000mAh two-day battery life, the inclusion of a versatile triple-lens camera system with a 12MP main sensor (with OIS) and a rare 8MP optical telephoto lens in its price range, a 3.5mm audio jack with High-Resolution Audio support, and a clean, near-stock Android experience. Primary cons include the display's outdated 60Hz refresh rate (most rivals offer 90Hz or 120Hz), a relatively weak processor that can cause occasional stuttering and limit high-end gaming, disappointing single mono speaker quality, slow 21W charging speeds with no included charger in the box, and inconsistent camera performance, especially in low light and video recording which is capped at 1080p.
