Sony Xperia 10 VII Launched With Snapdragon Chip and 5,000mAh Battery
The Sony Xperia 10 VII has officially been launched, bringing a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery, and Sony’s classic minimalist design to select global markets. Aimed at mid-range buyers, the new Sony smartphone blends performance, endurance, and display quality for an enhanced everyday experience.
Key Highlights and Pricing
Sony confirmed that the Xperia 10 VII price starts at EUR 399 (approx. $430) or GBP 449 (approx. $470). The phone will be available in White, Turquoise, and Charcoal Black color options. Pre-orders begin September 12, 2025 through Sony’s official website and select retail outlets across Europe, the UK, and Japan. While not confirmed for the U.S., enthusiasts can expect availability through international channels.
Specifications and Features
The Xperia 10 VII features a 6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering sharp visuals and fluid scrolling. Powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage (expandable up to 2TB), it ensures smooth multitasking and performance.
The phone runs Android 15 and offers IP65/IP68-rated dust and water resistance, making it durable for outdoor use.
Camera and Battery Performance
Sony equips the Xperia 10 VII with a dual rear camera system — a 50MP Exmor RS main sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide lens, while the 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.
A 5,000mAh battery powers the device, promising all-day endurance. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, Google Cast, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Market Outlook
Although Sony has exited the Indian smartphone market, the Xperia 10 VII underscores the brand’s continued focus on premium mid-range phones for Europe, Japan, and potentially the U.S. unlocked market. Analysts say the device positions Sony competitively among other mid-tier Android phones like the Pixel 8a and Galaxy A55.
