The Sony Xperia 10 VI 128GB is Sony's 2024 smartphone featuring a 6.1 inches, 86.9 cm2 (~82.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM6450 Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery. At AED 1,499 in the UAE and ₹37,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Sony Xperia 10 VI excels with its 48MP main camera featuring OIS and PDAF, delivering sharp, stable shots in low light, and its 6.1-inch 21:9 OLED display at 449 ppi offers crisp, HDR-rich visuals perfect for media consumption. The 13:56h active use battery life outlasts most mid-range rivals, while 128GB storage and 5G support across 13 bands ensure future-proofing. It’s built for travelers and commuters who prioritize screen real estate for videos, reliable all-day endurance, and NFC for contactless payments in urban environments. Its weakness? The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 struggles with sustained gaming loads, throttling noticeably after 15 minutes of high-frame-rate play. In UAE at AED 1499, it’s competitive because no other 21:9 OLED phone under AED 1600 offers this blend of display quality and battery life. In India at ₹37999, it’s overpriced—flagships like the Poco X6 Pro deliver better performance and faster charging for under ₹35000.
