The Snapdragon 695 is actually one of the most popular CPU's in the mid range because it can do quite alot while using very little battery. My 10iii has the SD 690 chip, but it CAN do 4K....also a very good chip still and if you have Bluetooth headphones with a Qualcomm chip inside, you'll get adaptive X audio options on this phone, which is cool.
There are other new budget phones from 2023 which just came out and still use the 695. I think game developers also optimize the games for these 690/695 chips because since 2020 when the 690 came out, many, many phone models used this chip, and still do. There are many millions of phones on the market with the 690/695 chips.

My 10iii is very fast with the 690. I use Nova Launcher instead of the Sony launcher because I like to use custom icons etc and I NEVER have any stutters or slowness.

Got it for 280€ in black week. The plan was to wait for the successor with an upgraded soc, but my old phone broke so I took the deal. Overall satisfied. Only gripes are ~1 second delay when going back or to home in some apps, and lackluster performance when multi-windowing (you see it in the animations). So I avoid that. Cam is alright, I prefer honest results with no oversharpening and unnatural hdr / brightening. I feel detail in low light varies a lot between different thirdparty photo apps. Just a bit sad that maximum shutter speed is only 1 or 1, 5 seconds.

I hope they release Xepria 10 VI series with Snapdragon 700series next year. Also I expect longer software support from Sony, at least minimum 3 years, any improvement is welcome.

I can't wait, hoping and praying, so that the 10 mark 6, will use the high refresh rates and sd 7 series

Nice review. I just bought it last night for $280 and I'm anxiously waiting for it. This phone is nothing to shout about but it does tick most of my checkboxes: battery life, small-ish size, front-facing speakers and acceptable price point. For performance and camera aspects, I only need them to be acceptable.

But the main pull factor for me is its small-ish size. If can run modern apps on my Samsung J1 mini prime, I would still use it today. And not to forget my loyal servant which I'm about to say goodbye to: the Samsung A71 prism crush silver. I've been seeing it everyday for 4 years, and yet it still amaze me to this day on how good it looks esp for the price point. Unfortunately, it's just too big.

Snapdragon started off strong when it first came out. It's still strong, only problem is that there's about to be a 4th and 5 generation and then a new processor. So everyone is calling this one slow and saying 60hz is slow all because they are used to 90hz and up. Are there phones with a battery power over 5k? Can the screen handle the consistent Hz of 90+? Will this cause overheating, especially during photo and video usage of high resolutions... During long usage.

Sometimes setting a limiter can make a device last longer. Novelty users are never satisfied.

I would buy this phone if it had only 1 camera at the back and used the 5ii main sensor for that. photos are important. speed not nessacarely. i now still rocking the 5ii which i bought in 2021 for 630 euro. still the best phone i ever used.

My biggest gripe was it use the same old 695g like the previous Mk IV where the competitions are upping into Snapdragon 6 gen 1 or even Snapdragon 7 series. Battery life is impressive but it probably due to its still running 60hz refresh rate.

I was honestly got let down when Xperia 10 Mk V launch, I was hoping it'll be a somewhat worthy trade for my Xperia 1 Mk ii but sadly it's not quite there yet, I'm hoping the Mk VI this year will be great with the latest chipset, better refresh rate, 256gb internal storage as standard and hopefully the photo pro app (not the cinema pro or video pro, just the photo pro).

GLAD THERE ARE STILL MAKERS USING HEADPHONE JACKS! Wireless just aren't as good.

[yux.tn.]

might buy this next year, imo there's little difference in phones nowadays

[universalsafari]

Hey does this phone has default call recording and app lock features like samsung devices?

[scsMai]

5:38, im getting this phone because my samsung A12 32gb is way slower than that, you'd be suprised, sometimes i have to wait 30 seconds for snapchat to open

[paulastutina]

I have used Sony phones since I can remember. I really like the design and quality. Still have the Z5 compact (for 9 years now) and it's time to look for a new one. Really wanted the 5 V, but don't know if the price is worth it (?). Now I'm thinking of the 10 V or maybe the 5 IV . In your opinion, which would be better?

[firstchushingura]

I had the previous Xperia IV 10 and I was very very disapointed from camera and Software behavior...
I mean a lot of glitches and bugs...
and the Camera really bad...

[DexTV]

6 months rocking with it, everything is cool. Got it for too high price, but had no choice since my previous phone died. Current price is great and competitive.

Regarding the issues. Setting animation speed to 0.5x takes off the lagging feels. I think that's because modern Android animations were made for 120 Hz phones by default, so they look sluggish on 60 Hz. GCam by BigKaka + HDR+ mode makes the photos much much better. But I yet to find any third party app that supports video capture, so I use stock app for video.

Only thing that annoys me - phone vibrates on high volumes, top speaker resonate into the back.

ye i subbed thanks for the review im looking to get this i got the pixel 6 pro but im returning it im gonna probably get this instead

[duduthehardworker]

Is it possible to lock the screen when it’s horizontal? You know like Samsung is possible but iPhone only offers the screen locking when it’s vertical

[rulewtf]

Looks like a great phone. Shame nobody in Canada carries it

[enricovanini]

Hi, can you Tell me about security parches download? Are they regular over time?

[brianheard]

After my experience of owning the 10 III, a total disaster, a 10 IV, much better, I'm not sure about buying a 10 V. Am thinking I'll save up some money and buy a 5 V. Battery life on the 10s is brilliant tho.
