Expert Overview
Sony Xperia 10 VIII defies physics. It packs a 5500mAh battery into a body that weighs just 165g. The 21:9 aspect ratio makes it tall and narrow, perfect for one-handed use. It is fully waterproof (IP68) and keeps the 3.5mm jack. While the 90Hz screen is a bit dated, the battery life is unmatched in the mid-range segment.
