    I have been using Xperia 10 Mark V for two months and I can say this is a humble phone that shows us we don't need the fastest chips or the best camera for daily usage. It stays on and on without worry for the battery running out. It's a zen in some ways.

    As an owner of 10 iv, the upgrades that interested me the most in the 10 V were the stereo speakers, extra ram and the new main camera sensor. But I hope Sony includes a new processor in the 10vi next year therefore consider a better upgrade 😂 Would love to get a 1 V when the 1 VI is released next year 🤞🏼

    If you want a no bells and whistles phone, with excellent battery life, nice display, this phone is ideal. More for the casual user . I lnow the V version has a very bright display for its price point ( over 600 nits manual brightness using the slider IE a more premium phone like the pixel 7 has around 490 nits manual brightness)

    Interesting. Sony went over my head for a while because in general, they are overpriced. 1080p video capture is a no-go though. Wonder if the 10 VI might be an option, kinda worried that they drop the telephoto because even 5 V seems not to get one.

    I've owned a couple of the early Sony Xperia flagships in years past (Z1 Compact, XZ1). At that time, you could get a nice Sony phone for a reasonable price. Their biggest issue was OS updates. Both my Sonys received only 1 update. I've since settled in w midrange phones since they can pretty much do what I want them to do at a fraction of the price...which is where my issue lies w Sony's "Mark" series. Don't get me wrong...the '1" Models are as nice of a pro-featured handset that you can find,...and the "5" models have been consistently at the top of "compact format" flagships. But the pricing...sheesh...even on the "10" models is somewhat ridiculous IMO. My current OnePlus midrange has virtually identical hardware n specs (including the headphone jack),...and paid

    I'm currently at 3 days of battery usage with 6h screen on time and 38% battery left on my Xperia 10 V. The battery life is really remarkable. But there are software bugs, crashes, the camera is mediocre and I miss tap to wake. The experience did sell me on Sony phones though and I will switch to the 1V as my daily driver :)

    @@choppings54 Most annoying bug is that opening and using the camera crashes other apps like Spotify, YT Music, Audible. So I can't take photos while listening to stuff on my phone. Other issues are the torch light that doesn't work from time to time because the phone thinks the camera is still going, which requires a reboot. And the batter usage screen keeps crashing for whatever reason. You might also be disappointed with the camera compared to the S22, the bluetooth connectivity is pretty bad and the speakers are not very loud, but cause the back of the phone to vibrate. You might wanna check out the 1V instead or wait for the 5V which should be available in a month or two

    would have been an amazing midranger if they just put like 1 quality sensor at the back. like the mainsensor of the 5ii for example. And with it at least the photopro software. We rather want quality above quantity. same goes for the samsung a54 series. who the heck wants 5mp macro lens XD these manufactures wtf.

    This is what sony should do with 3 of their phones specially the 10 mark 6 give it a 12 mp ultra wide and 10 mp 3x telephoto next year onwards 1 give it 4 years os and 5 years security 2 all 3 models should have the flagship chipsets that will put sony on game or they will end up like htc and lg out of the big phone markets like Eastern Europe and America. Sony already have the best aspect ratio for movie's and probably put a 90hz for the mark 10 mark 6 those will fix all of sonys mobile divisions problems.

    Mid range market are harsh and yeah Xperia 10 series never really feel like a proper mid range phone, most people praise it's battery life but c'mon it always run 60hz where it's competitors on 120hz. I'm a Sony fanboy myself and I'd really buy the 10 series if the upcoming Mk Vi has Snapdragon 7 series or upcoming 6 gen 2, 120hz refresh rate, and at least give it the photo pro app (no need for the video and cinema pro for the 10 series). While at it, since Google and Samsung is upping their software updates, Sony should at least give 3 OS/ 4 year security on all their phones.
