May has so far been one of the busiest months in terms of new tech – as such, Sony finally announced the launch of its newest budget handset, the Xperia 10 VI. The phone was launched alongside its more premium sibling, the Xperia 1 VI, although unlike its flagship handset, Sony hasn’t changed a lot of things with the 10 VI.
This is most apparent with the design – the Xperia 10 VI looks a lot like the Xperia 10 V and IV before it, although the phone now features a dual-camera array on the rear, consisting of a 48MP main sensor (with OIS) in addition to an 8MP ultra wide lens. Flip it over, and you are greeted by Sony’s signature tall aspect ratio display, which measures 6.1 inches with a FHD+ resolution.
It stays at 60Hz unfortunately, which is a shame, although there is Gorilla Glass Victus for protection, which is a rare sight in this price range. As for the rest of the device, Sony has stuck to using polycarbonate.
Inside, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, which is accompanied by 8GB of RAM, which is a nice step-up from the 6GB available in its predecessors. There’s also 128GB of expandable storage, in addition to a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 5,000 mAh battery. For software, the phone will ship with Android 14, with up to four years of software support.
This phone will come priced at £349 when it goes on sale in June, although right now there’s no word yet on US pricing.
