Editorial report

Sony Xperia 10 VIII 8 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Sony Xperia 10 VIII has been on sale since August 25 and suits anyone looking for a compact, lightweight phone. Its main trade-off against phones launched around the same time is a 5,000 mAh battery. At 168 g, its weight is among the best of its time. The 6.1-inch OLED display runs at 120 Hz and packs 422 ppi, above average, making for a sharp screen in a compact body.

A Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Its AnTuTu score of 600,500 is above average, but 128 GB is less storage than most phones launched around the same time offer; expandable storage gives room to add more. The camera is better than that of most phones from the period: its 1/1.56-inch main sensor is larger than most, optical image stabilization is included, and an ultrawide camera joins it. There is no optical zoom, and its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most phones launched around the same time.

Connectivity is also better than most, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and eSIM. The battery, by contrast, has less capacity than most phones released around the same time. Its overall NeoScore is 7.1. This is a well-rounded choice for compact-phone buyers who value a fluid OLED display and a capable camera, and can accept less battery capacity and storage than many phones of its time.
