Sony’s new Xperia 10 VII doesn’t try to be flashy; it just nails the fundamentals. With a 6.1-inch OLED display, AI-powered camera features, and a long-lasting battery, this Android 15 mid-ranger looks like a solid buy for users tired of gimmicks.
Xperia 10 VII gets Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 and a two-day battery
Shiftdelete.netAt its core, the Xperia 10 VII runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Need more room? A microSD slot adds up to 2 TB of extra storage. This setup won’t break benchmark records, but it’s more than capable for daily apps, streaming, and multitasking.
Sony claims the 5,000 mAh battery can last up to two days per charge, and with Android 15 out of the box, the device is promised four years of OS support and six years of security updates.
Pixel 10 Pro XL impresses teardown pros with easier battery swaps, detailed repair guides, and a big step toward true fixability in 2025.
AI smarts improve Xperia 10 VII camera experience
Sony isn’t leaning on megapixels alone. The Xperia 10 VII uses AI for auto exposure, color tuning, and even post-shot editing. Its Magic Editor app and Video Creator tools let users clean up media before posting, no external apps required.
On the back, you’ll find a 50 MP main sensor with optical and electronic stabilization, alongside a 13 MP ultra-wide. A dedicated shutter button on the frame gives the phone a point-and-shoot feel, and the 8 MP front camera handles social shots.
Notable Xperia 10 VII features:
- 6.1-inch OLED display, 120 Hz refresh rate
- Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 8 GB RAM
- 128 GB storage + microSD support

Xperia 10 VII keeps it classic with a headphone jack
Sony’s commitment to audio still shows. The Xperia 10 VII keeps the 3.5 mm jack and adds Bluetooth 5.4 support for wireless fans. It also uses AI to upscale compressed files, and spatial audio options can simulate 360-degree sound from regular stereo tracks.
The phone launches in late September at €449/£399 (~$525) and comes in white, turquoise, or charcoal black. Whether it hits US shelves is still a mystery, but if it does, this understated all-rounder might turn a few heads.
