Sony Xperia 10 VII review | Infinium-tech

Introduction

The Xperia 10 series has always been the definition of a balanced mid -ranger of Sony – with practical, light, longevity and focus on multimedia. The new Xperia 10 VII is no different in the soul, although it brings a handful of significant changes that make it stand out of its predecessors.

At first glance, the phone looks familiar with its clean, minimal design, but a close inspection reveals a modified rear camera island that feels more to suit modern trends – we say, a little pixel -esk.

Perhaps, large design change, however, is on the front. Sony has finally gone away from its trademarks long 21: 9 aspects, instead it has been selected for a small and comprehensive 19.5: 9 panel. It is still 6.1-inch OLED, but is bound to stir the debate among fans of the ratio changes that appreciated the cinema-wide look.

Under the hood, Xperia 10 VII was upgraded to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 General 3 chipset, which was paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, expandable via microSD. This should promote a welcome on last year’s Snapdragon 6 General 1, promises better efficiency and improves everyday performance.

The camera setup also gets an overhaul. The new dual system combines a 50mp wide shooter with a large 1/1.56 “sensor and OIS, with a 13MP ultravide – a promising mixture that Sony is targeting for high image quality and versatility this year. At the front, the selfie cam remains a minor 8MP unit.

Everything else seems to be Xperia. You get 5000mAh battery familiar with PD fast charging, IP65/IP68 Ingress Protection, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, Front-Firing Stereo Speaker, and even good old 3.5 mm audio jack-Soni’s mid-range philosophy.

Are these Twixes Xperia 10 series enough to keep the rapidly competitive mid-range space that we are here to find out.

Out of the box

Our Xperia 10 VII review unit did not come up with a retail box, so we cannot really make sure whether Sony has made any changes in that department this year. However, our condition is that the box is similar to the previous year – a couple -tukra case is completely made of paper, bamboo and sugarcane fiber, which is commendable. Sony says that some materials are also recycled.

Last year, Xperia 10 VI came up with nothing in the retail box, not even the USB cable, which is clearly a kind of condemnable. We cannot imagine anything different for this year.

Sony gave us some cases for the phone. These are soft TPU cases that look great. We also like color selection. They have a shield color pattern, which is very interesting and allows to see the bottom, so you can style the back with styling, paper accessories, or even a small photo.
