Description

The Sony Xperia 10 series phones have been known to be packed full of features making it one of the best options for someone looking for a phone on a budget. The SONY Xperia 10 IV is an impressive phone that showcases Sony’s expertise in camera, display, and audio technology.

Like the Xperia 1 IV, SONY has improved the brightness of the display making the 10 IV more pleasant to use in daylight. The Xperia 10 IV has kept the 6.0” 16:9 display but has managed to make the phone thinner and with smaller bezels all the while increasing the battery capacity to 5000mAh.

The camera setup itself is familiar with a 12MP wide camera and an 8MP telephoto and 8MP ultrawide camera, but SONY has added optical image stabilization to the 10 IV. SONY has also improved the auto settings for the camera software meaning you can take impressive photos with minimal adjustments.

The SONY Xperia 10 mark 4 has excellent audio for a budget phone and it still features a 3.5mm audio plug, a feature often left out from recent devices. The latest Xperia 10 IV improves on its predecessor in almost all aspects with better cameras, more power, bigger battery capacity and better display brightness.
