The new version of the mid-range smartphone model Xperia 10 that Sony has just launched called Xperia 10 VI has omitted some features that may disappoint many people.
The Xperia 10 VI continues in its predecessor's footsteps when it comes to overall design, including its light weight (164 grams), 6.1-inch 21:9 OLED display with Gorilla Glass Victus, and rated IP68.
Xperia 10 VI costs 11 million VND but comes with many features that are inferior to other mid-range smartphones.
The Xperia 10 VI also has some other notable features from its predecessor including a 5,000 mAh battery, dual front-facing speakers, 3.5mm port and microSD card support. Other basic features on the product include the low-end mid-range Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip, 8GB RAM and 128GB internal memory.
However, Sony's phone still disappoints, lagging behind rival devices in some areas such as lacking wireless charging support and especially only having a 60Hz screen in a context where even other phones priced under 300 USD (7.4 million VND) also have 120Hz or 90Hz OLED screens.
Regarding camera specifications, the phone also removes the 8MP 2x telephoto camera, instead Sony is using the 48MP main camera for 2x zoom. This 48MP sensor is paired with an 8MP (15mm) ultra-wide camera, while an 8MP selfie camera is provided on the front. The phone also has a redesigned camera app, although it lacks a professional shooting mode.
The camera system only has 2 lenses instead of 3 lenses like its predecessor.
Sony promises 3 major operating system updates and 4 years of security patches for Xperia 10 VI. This is worse than mid-range smartphones from Samsung but is still a big improvement over the Xperia 10 V's disappointing 2+3 update policy.

Finally, the price, the Xperia 10 VI was sold for 399 EUR (11 million VND) in the European market when launched in mid-June, with pre-orders starting from May 15. This price puts the Xperia 10 VI in the same territory like Samsung's Galaxy A35 5G.
