This phone ticks many boxes for me (compact size, headphone jack, OLED display) but the camera's performance seem disappointingly mediocre. Sony's chassis-fingerprint sensor have an infamous reputation. Also 1080p30 video in 2022? Not great. No wi-fi 6, bummer but not a deal-breaker. What I find more frustrating is those deliberate design choices that not technological limitations but solely created to worsen the product compared with Sony's other lineup. This phone is a toy for teenagers, ideal for light gaming and watching movies.
Sony's Xperia 10 IV belongs to a rare breed of smartphones: At just 6 inches, the mid-range device is quite small by today's standards. In particular, the AMOLED Android smartphone shines in terms of battery life.
