    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 Primary cons include the display's outdated 60Hz refresh rate (most rivals offer 90Hz or 120Hz), a relatively weak processor that can cause occasional stuttering and limit high-end gaming, disappointing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.
