And speaking of cameras, though you won't get a telephoto with the Pixel 6a, it is hard to compete with Google's prowess in computational photography. Unlike the Xperia and its rather disappointing Snapdragon 695 chipset, the Google Tensor chip inside the Pixel 6a is a pretty decent part with great modern features - most notably, 4K video capture. Sadly, just like with the Sony, the panel here is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. Like the Xperia, it is a pretty compact device with a 6.1-inch display-diagonal. It is an overall excellent and quite popular midranger that just so happens to offer some of the same extras as the Xperia 10 V, like stereo speakers and IP67 ingress protection. We would be remiss not to mention the Google Pixel 6a. Once again, you will be missing out on a telephoto camera, though. There is also the identical 5,000 mAh battery with the same 67W fast charging. In many aspects, it is not too dissimilar to the Redmi Note 12 Pro, like the 6.67-inch, 10-bit Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 120Hz display, the IP53 ingress protection rating and the stereo speakers.
The overall user experience, however, is not that different.Īnother Xiaomi phone definitely worth considering is the Poco X5 Pro. The vanilla model gives up on some extras like HDR support on the display and stereo speakers. Just like with the aforementioned Samsung phones, there is also a pretty viable step-down option in camp Xiaomi - the Redmi Note 12.

On the plus side, the Dimensity 1080 chipset of the Redmi can capture 4K video, unlike the Snapdragon 695 inside the Xperia. That is hard to come by in the mid-range niche.

Unfortunately, the Redmi Note 12 Pro also lacks a telephoto camera. It is also powered by a 5,000 mAh battery, but with 67W charging significantly faster than that on the Xperia 10 V. It has a large 6.67-inch, 10-bit, 120Hz, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision certified display, stereo speakers, and some ingress protection. Some of its highlights include an even bigger 6.6-inch, 120Hz display, IP67 ingress protection and stereo speakers.Īnother phone that instantly comes to mind is the significantly cheaper yet still competitive Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro. If you want to save a few bucks and still get most of the same Samsung experience, there is also the Galaxy A34 to consider. One thing you will miss out on with the Samsung is a telephoto camera, but you get 4K video capture. Its Exynos 1380 chipset, while far from a powerhouse, is a bit more potent than the Snapdragon 695 inside the Xperia. The Galaxy A54 also offers a large 5,000 mAh battery with 25W charging. Its 6.4-inch AMOLED display is arguably better, with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. Like the Xperia 10 V, it has official ingress protection (IP67) and a stereo speaker setup. First and probably foremost, there is the Samsung Galaxy A54. Still, there is plenty of competition in the mid-range space around the €449 MSRP of the Xperia 10 V. Add stereo speakers to the mix for this year's model and official ingress protection, and you end up with a pretty particular package with a niche of its own. One that Sony continues to parade as the lightest and most compact 5G phone out there. That odd 21:9 display aspect ratio makes for a tall and skinny phone. Changed or not, the Xperia 10 V remains a sort of unique offering.
This is becoming a trend with the Xperia 10 line, for better or worse. A year later, not much has changed in the latest Xperia 10's Pros and Cons lists or how it stands in its market context.
