Sony Xperia 10 II vs Sony Xperia 10 V

Our Verdict: The Sony Xperia 10 V has a 5,000 mAh battery, compared with 3,600 mAh in the Sony Xperia 10 II, while keeping a similarly narrow body. Its 6.1-inch OLED display is only slightly larger than the II's 6-inch OLED panel, so screen size is unlikely to decide this pairing. The II is lighter at 151g rather than 159g, a modest benefit if you are sensitive to handset weight. The V is the more attractive fit for greater battery capacity in a familiar shape, though actual endurance depends on more than the mAh figure.

Buying outright, the II starts at £160 SIM-free.
