It is equipped with a 6.1‑inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a high refresh rate of 120Hz, protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Under the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which can be expanded via microSD up to 2TB. This combo supports smooth multitasking and plenty of space for apps and media.
Cameras, Battery Life & Software
On the rear, the Xperia 10 VII includes a 50‑megapixel main camera using Sony’s Exmor RS sensor for sharp images, complemented by a 13‑megapixel ultrawide lens for wider scenic shots. The front camera is 8 megapixels, suitable for selfies and video calls. Powering everything is a 5,000 mAh battery that in normal use can last up to two days, and it supports USB‑C fast charging.
It comes running Android 15 out of the box with promises of four years of OS updates and six years of security patches, enhancing its longevity. It also supports Google’s features like Circle to Search and Google Gemini for smarter search and information management.
Price & Availability
The Xperia 10 VII is priced starting at €449, which converts to roughly ₱16,700 (local currency equivalent in SEA). The release date isn’t confirmed yet, but pre‑orders are expected soon. This model is aimed at users wanting high quality features at a more accessible price point in the mid‑range segment.
Final Thought
The Xperia 10 VII strikes a well‑balanced middle ground. It offers premium design touches, solid camera capabilities, and long software support while being light and comfortable to carry. For consumers in Southeast Asia looking for a phone that delivers much more than just basic performance without requiring flagship prices, this seems like a strong contender. If Romero’s ideals of balance and utility count, this could be your next upgrade.
