Sony Xperia 10 V vs Sony Xperia 10 VI

Our Verdict: The Xperia 10 V is the lighter of these two Xperia 10 phones, at 159g against the 10 VI's 164g, while both share a 6.1-inch OLED screen at 449 PPI, a microSD slot and a 3.5mm headphone socket. The 10 VI is the more current model, running Android 14 rather than Android 13 and using a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset where the 10 V has the Snapdragon 695. Both carry a 5,000mAh battery, so the practical differences come down to weight and software generation. Pick the 10 V if the slightly lighter body is the priority, or the 10 VI if you want the newer Android version and chipset.
