Tough Corning Gorilla Glass Victus adds to IP65/68 water resistance to make this mid-range Xperia even more durable

11th May 2022 Sony today announced the new Xperia 10 IV smartphone, developed around the concept of a large battery with the integration of Sony's unique technologies, all in an ultra-lightweight, compact design. Xperia 10 IV is an exceptional mid-range handset that has been designed with improved performance, quality, and portability in mind.

Performance and Design

A large, powerful battery in a lightweight, hand-fit body the Xperia 10 IV combines all-day battery power and fast performance. It's the world's lightest 5G smartphone to feature a large capacity 5000mAh or more battery, giving all the power you need to enjoy using your Xperia 10 IV from dawn to dusk and beyond.[ii] Thanks to Xperia Adaptive Charging, users have the ultimate battery life reliability, even after three years of use[iii]. This works by monitoring the battery whilst charging to ensure that it isn't overworked - keeping the battery healthy for longer.

Weighing just 161g, the Xperia 10 IV is lightweight and easy to handle, whether you're taking photos and videos, playing games, browsing, texting or calling. In addition to this, cutting the height and width of the bezel by 1mm creates a naturally comfortable 67mm width hand-fit design. Featuring IP65/68 water and dust resistance[iv], the Xperia 10 IV is built for everyday life, so you can use it worry-free, whether you're out for a run or lounging poolside. The Xperia 10 IV display uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus . The tough Gorilla Glass brings improvement in both drop and scratch performance. Snapdragon 695 5G Mobile Platform can easily handle all your apps, movies, games and more, with high performance and power efficiency for superior connectivity.

Xperia 10 IV comes in 4 different colour options[v]; Black, White, Mint and Lavender.

Photos and videos made easy

With a triple lens camera and a range of useful functions for stills and video, capturing life has never been easier. When you see a photo opportunity, Xperia 10 IV helps you get the right shot first time with Superior Auto, which uses scene conditions and subject detection technology. Xperia 10 IV then automatically selects the ideal settings such as ISO and shutter speed for the best shot. With three different lenses 16, 27, and 54mm you have lenses for all types of shooting.

Shake-Free Photos and Videos by Advanced Blur reduction

When taking a photo, especially in the evening or in a lowlight scene, the slightest movement of your hand can cause the image to be blurred. But the Xperia 10 IV lets you take blur less images, even in low light conditions, thanks to Optical Image Stabilisation technology. It also allows longer shutter speed for noiseless design, due to capturing more light. Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) isn't just for stills, it works for videos too. When you're recording video on the move, unique Optical SteadyShot technology and hybrid image stabilisation ensure the results are less blurry and shake free.

Beautiful details in every shot & Less noise in low light

With photos taken in poor light, bright areas often appear over exposed and dark areas blacked out, so detail is lost. But the Xperia 10 IV can detect this and automatically shoot in HDR, reproducing all detail in exceptional clarity. In addition, improved night mode lets you shoot even clearer shots. Shooting at night or in low light, image quality can often be negatively impacted by visual noise. However, Xperia 10 IV has improved the image quality in night mode by utilising RAW data in its internal processing.

Modern smartphone cameras need to perform equally well, whether shooting stills or video. And thanks to an expanded dynamic range, the Xperia 10 IV captures video with remarkably clear detail and less whiteout or blackout, even in high contrast conditions like bright daylight. [vi]

Clear Close-ups & Stunning Selfies

Normally, when you're shooting a subject in the distance using a smartphone's telephoto lens, image resolution is compromised when you zoom in with digital zoom. But thanks to the super resolution zoom feature on the Xperia 10 IV, you can shoot clear images even at long focal lengths.[vii] When you take a selfie, especially indoors or in poor light, conventional cameras automatically try to reduce noise, causing details such as hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes to be lost but again, the application of smart AI technology in Xperia 10 IV means that the selfies will be improved with clarity.

Exceptional picture quality on high contrast OLED display

Boasting a beautiful 6.0 21:9 wide OLED display, with no notch or camera hole to impair your view, the Xperia 10 IV lets you lose yourself in movies, games and more. Even 15% brighter[viii] while viewing than its predecessor model, the 21:9 wide OLED display reproduces breath-taking images with vivid colours and true blacks. Drawing on Sony's many years of TV expertise, unique TRILUMINOS DISPLAY for mobile, from Sony's TV expertise, and video image optimisation enhances the display for content viewing and reproducing exquisite, vibrant images.

The 21:9 screen easily divides into two sections, or one window pops up over another - perfect for browsing the web and wat
