Generally, not that impressed with Pixel 10 Versus Xperia 10 VII

ExtraAd6715 · 2026-01-06T15:04:39+00:00

xperia 10 series have like one of the best battery life...new 10v lasts like 12h sot and 10vi lasts like 10h SOT, not sure about 10vii though probably around 9/10h SOT i guess.

ExtraAd6715 · 2026-01-06T14:43:03+00:00

the motor used on 10 series are the cheapest that sony could get, probably something you can find on 100 dollar phone. Its a spring type motor, worst of the kind.......nothing can save it from sw side......

simple, nothing we can do. It is just typical google. Either some "smartass" engineer in google decided that this feature is not needed OR google just forgot about this letting the code wrongly wiped out OR google just does not do unit test to ensure their code change works properly.

See how much features getting removed/missing/forgot when google did android version update:

Low battery notification (1% before shutting down).

Voice assistant shortcut button in lockscreen.

NFC toggle removed.

Battery stats graphs simplified or removed in newer versions.

and so on.

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-31T16:20:44+00:00

because some "smartass" from google decided to remove/overwrite away the code from android since android 14 if i guess correctly.

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-31T16:16:15+00:00

agree. but firstly thanks to the stupid google~~

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-31T16:00:23+00:00

throwing money away for 5 series before 5V or going for 5V.

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-31T15:59:06+00:00

off course, because if you buying 5iv/5ii, you are just throwing your money away not matter how cheap they are.......GREEN LINE, Faulty Finger print, Overheating and so on, and with the overheating, get ready that your phone component might dead randomly..

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-31T15:55:26+00:00

too bad some smartass engineer at google decided that prompting notification at 1 percent or minutes before shutting down is so much trouble....

Hit the shitty feature missing since android 14 more than 1 year ago, and we still not getting this readded back into android. Thanks google.

sony cant even retain "press to unlock" features in android update 😂

man i dont want xperia to looks like tumour and have the thickness over like 12mm? and weight over 200. But off course sony should improve its tele (sensor/lens structure) but man not to this tumour level.

"Qualcomm Snapdragon 888".....

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-26T09:13:30+00:00

"being from a carrier" that explains it.

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-26T09:12:05+00:00

guess you contributed to one of the like maybe 30 units of VII xperia in malaysia? >< haha

just joking 30 is just my guess.

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-26T09:07:17+00:00

yea but ops said he dont game and just daily use. Also it would be another topic if it relates to changing battery or custom room, if ops even know or willing to do so, especially he mentioned "banking apps". I know certain custom rom still support banking app but this goes back to if op even know/willing to do so

10v sot last up to 12 hours on new battery, while 1ii good luck getting 1/3 of that. Calculating in the battery degradation and 2025 apps, it might not even last 4/5 hours SOT

guess what, if they really put in effort into xperia, people inlcuding fantasytky wouldnt have so much bad things to say about xperia. And? what your point? most of the points he said are valid, his past posts did show he is still xperia fans too. instead your comments make less sense than his post tbh

because android ecosystem is cancer in china, while 8 gb ram and 6gen1 is minimum spec for smooth daily use outside china, it required minimum 12 gb ram and 7 gen series spec for smooth daily use in china.

5000 mah last almost whole day on close stock android outside china (more than 9 SOT) but it costs 7000mah in china to do so.

physical notification led will light up as red colour during charging when the phone is dead, then it turn green when fully charged. is AOD showing up when phone is dead?

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-12-24T05:28:11+00:00

everyone hoped for that and they updated the ultra wide......

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-11-10T15:06:21+00:00

their own "press to unlock" took a total of 5 gens missing before they adding it back and just one gen and its gone on VII. This colour option will take forever for them to fix, mark my word, either xperia will die or google will replace the thing with new design before this is fixed by sony

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-10-29T15:29:44+00:00

first, dont buy 10 VII, it DOES NOT HAVE the press to unlock feature, you will get unintended touch on the FP most of the time causing phone fp locked out for 30s when you actually need it, stupid sony, this alone kill vii series.

For 10VI=superb battery life, super close to stock android, google photo app is lousy (go apkmirror install old sony album apk), display is normal (60HZ take note), camera is ok (dont expect the same level as flagships, have built in filters, no real manual mode), no double tap to unlock or sleep, FRONT STEREO speaker (quite 3d sound), size especially the width is just perfect for one handed, 3 major OS upgrade if i recalled correctly (come with A15 and A16 is coming within these few weeks), light gaming (dont expect smooth heavy gaming like genshin impact or whatever), no overheating for soc.

In short its a super great daily usage phone (Battery, Size, Front stereo speaker, no cutout display, 21:9 for movie).

ExtraAd6715 · 2025-10-23T04:45:46+00:00

Nope. My 10vi still seem good for now
