Featuring front stereo speakers with enhanced dynamic range for a more immersive entertainment experience
.(SINGAPORE, 15th May 2024) – Sony today revealed the new mid-range XperiaTM 10 VI smartphone. Equipped with a large-capacity battery*[1] capable of two-day use and featuring a lightweight body, it is designed for both comfort and easy operation with one hand. It boasts a water-resistant body, and the display uses Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® for long-lasting use and durability, and due to advances in chipset performance as well as in the optimisation of battery power, continuous video playback time*[2] has been extended by approximately 10% compared to previous models*[3]. Furthermore, the Xperia 10 VI is equipped with a new “Video Creator” app that allows you to easily edit and shoot content to create videos quickly. The front stereo speakers have been improved compared to the previous model with increased volume capacity and wider dynamic range, providing improved bass and treble performance for clearer sound.
Durable and compact with long battery life and light weight design
Xperia 10 VI is equipped with a large-capacity battery providing a battery life that extends beyond your daily needs for viewing, listening, and content capturing, paired with an exceptionally lightweight and compact design, weighing in at just 164g.
Xperia 10 VI’s battery stays healthy for three years*[4] thanks to Sony’s charging technologies which are designed to preserve the battery’s health over time. Battery care prevents overcharging, while Xperia Adaptive Charging continuously monitors your phone’s charging process to prevent any unnecessary strain on the battery. Enhanced charging speed has also been introduced.
The body size is 155mm long and 68mm wide, making it easy to operate. The back panel uses a matte, milky-white semi-transparent resin material, giving the main body a soft, transparent design that makes it look light. In addition to IP65/68 waterproof and dustproof performance, the display uses Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®, a highly drop-resistant and scratch-resistant glass, for increased durability and a worry-free experience.
Equipped with the Snapdragon® 6 Gen 1 Mobile Platform, the improved chipset performance and optimisation of battery power consumption reduces power consumption, improving continuous video playback time extended by approximately 10% compared to previous models*3.
Equipped with “Video Creator” that allows you to easily create short videos using gallery photos and videos
The ‘Video Creator’ app enables effortless creation of short videos from your captured photos and video footage. Simply choose your desired files and adjust playback time to generate a video in less than a minute*[5].
The dual rear camera lenses provide versatility, offering three focal lengths (16mm, 26mm, 52mm) for shooting. Equivalent to 2x optical zoom*[6], you can get closer to subjects without worrying about image quality deterioration. It is also equipped with a “Colour-effect Look” function that allows you to take pictures using a selection of preset look options so there’s no need for any editing and can be uploading straight to social media.
Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) *[7] isn’t limited to still photography; it’s equally effective for videos. When capturing videos on the move, our exclusive Optical SteadyShot™ technology guarantees clear and steady results.
The Xperia 10 VI simplifies the shooting experience by incorporating AI-driven scene detection technology, which autonomously selects optimal settings for capturing the perfect shot.
With Xperia, for simple self-portraits in any location you simply need to show your palm to the camera, which will automatically start a 2-second self-timer, giving you time to prep for the shot.
Pocket-sized theatre experience
The front stereo speakers have a wider dynamic range than the previous model*3, allowing you to enjoy naturally balanced sound quality with improved treble and bass. In addition, the 6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED display is equipped with ‘Triluminous® Display for mobile’, which incorporates technology cultivated for Sony’s BRAVIA® TVs, allowing you to create an immersive pocket-sized theatre.
Experience quality entertainment, anywhere with Xperia 10 VI’s premium audio, display, and camera capabilities, all powered by a powerful battery for uninterrupted enjoyment.
The Xperia 10 VI supports Bluetooth® connectivity including LDAC™ and includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can enjoy high-resolution high-quality sound with both wired and wireless headphones. In addition, DSEE Ultimate™, which uses Sony’s proprietary AI technology, reproduces sound sources such as streaming services with sound quality equivalent to high resolution.
Sony’s commitment to Sustainability
The Sony Group has set an environmental plan “Road to Zero” aiming for zero environmental footprint by 2050. In order to achieve this, we are taking action while setting medium-term environmental targets in stages. As part of this mid-term environmental goals, we are aiming to eliminate plastic packaging materials for newly designed small products by 2025.
The product box and main tray of Xperia 10 VI are made from Sony’s Original Blended Material, comprising bamboo, sugar cane fibres, and recycled paper, making it possible to achieve individual packaging that is completely plastic-free*[8]. In addition to Sony’s ongoing efforts to reduce plastic, plastic tape used to seal shipping cartons has been replaced by paper to make packaging more environmentally friendly.
Furthermore, approximately 50%*[9] of the raw materials for some of the parts used inside and outside the main body are environmentally friendly resins (recycled resins, plant-based resins, etc.), including SORPLAS™, a flame-retardant recycled plastic developed by Sony.
Accessibility
From enabling voice control to increasing text size, you can customize your Xperia 10 VI to suit your needs, using accessibility settings and apps.

*1: Based on the standard battery usage profile of Xperia users, the test assumes 360 minutes of use per day of internet browsing, video viewing, gaming, and other functions (1,080 minutes of standby time), which means that the battery will remain full even after 48 hours of use.
The actual remaining battery capacity will vary depending on your usage and environment.
