Sony Xperia 10 vs Sony Xperia 10 IV

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Sony Xperia 10 and Sony Xperia 10 IV is display quality against simplicity. For the IV, that means its OLED panel, a larger 5,000 mAh battery, and 128GB storage. The regular 10 is easier to recommend for a 6-inch IPS LCD display at 457 PPI, a 13MP rear camera, and an 8MP front camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Go with the IV for display quality; lean toward the regular 10 if simplicity is higher on your list.
