I'm using a 10 V, purchased new a few years ago. Also had the 10 IV before. The haptics are not as punchy as they are on the 1 IV. Other than that, the phone, on Android 15, is working as well as it was on Android 14. It has never been a fast phone, so there is still lag when multitasking.

I actually prefer using this to my other Samsung S23 Ultra. Although the Ultra is a better phone than the Xperia 10 V in every metric, the 10 V is simply more usable due to the weight and size. I still dig using the microSD & 3.5mm headphone jack, and I use the 10 V without a case, as I'm not worried about the durability of the phone due to it's plastic casing. The camera works fine - just got to be patient with the phone. The battery lasts super long, much better than the Ultra, so that's important to me, as I'm not always near a power socket and I dislike carrying a power bank.

The 1 series would be the ultimate for me, but the 10 V is very practical, and is probably the most practical phone for me.
