Glad to hear you're having a great experience with it 👌🏾🙏🏾 still waiting on what's next from Sony though in the upcoming months, it's been nearly a year since their last release.

Many thanks for your comment friend! Glad my review was able to prove useful to you, have some new content in the works so stay tuned! 👌🏾🔥

@@MI-Tech Definitely. Subscribed 😀

Wow thanks man! That's an incredibly humbling comment from you! Many thanks man I'm glad you enjoy the content 👌🏾🙏🏾 Hoping to upload much more content in the coming weeks 🙏🏾 🔥

@@MI-Tech You Are right on point and KZfaq videos feel honest and not biased by sponsorship... keep it up brother

Thank you for your comment, and glad you found the video helpful and enjoyable 🙏🏾👌🏾

Bedankt voor je comment! Blij dat je dit een goede review vond 👌🏾

Hi Fred, Dank voor je comment! Als batterij belangrijk voor je is zou ik zeggen 'look no further' dat is echt het meest sterke punt aan dit toestel. De rest van de concurrentie is veel meer vergelijkbaar qua specs en prestaties. Hebben allen eigenlijk minder goede batterij duur, daar staat wel tegenover dat de meeste wat meer rekenkracht hebben. Maar goed hoeven games niet op de hoogste resolutie en framerates en videos niet op 4 of 8K resolutie met 60fps dan kom je qua prestaties niets te kort op deze Sony. Een alternatief voor iets meer geld zou misschien de Nothing Phone zijn, maar ook die komt qua batterij duur tekort tegenover de Sony, wel een stuk dichterbij dan de concurrentie op batterij uithoudingsvermogen. Hope this helps!

@@MI-Tech dank je.

Thanks for your comment, sound through the headphone jack isn't overly loud, as with previous Xperia's. The quality however remains sublime, even with the most cost effective wired headphones. Even more so compared to Bluetooth headphones and indeed devices with Dolby Atmos presets. And as always Sony allows you to tweak the experience with their built-in elaborate equalizer 👌🏾 which I personally prefer instead of any sound filter tweak like dolby, or Harman.

Many thanks for your swift response. It is highly appreciated. My major interest in this device however is the battery. I don't really care about cameras or high refresh rates. The processor is fine by me. A better processor like the SD 8xx series would adversely affect the battery performance, so I can understand why Sony chose a modest chipset which is power efficient, which isn't bad for someone like me. I hope the battery performance is quite good especially during web browsing while mobile data is ON. I await your response. Thanks.

@@cosmosokpighe4962 I'd say even within the class and price range battery is actually the Xperia 10 IV's edge I managed to get an average of 1,5 days. But this was with allot of testing of the cameras gaming, and installing apps. I believe with moderate/medium use, 2 days should be achievable. Which even with the 7xx series chips is not attainable. So for an efficient, yet plenty powerful experience the 10 Mark IV should be an excellent fit 👌🏾

Thank you for your response. This is quite true, I found out about this device on GSMARENA, when I was looking at their battery endurance test. I was surprised to see the Sony Xperia 10 iv with a 5,000mah battery scoring 163h in total, which surprised me because I own the Samsung M51, which has 7,000mah and it scored 156h in total in their battery endurance test. This made me pick interest in the Sony Xperia 10 iv, and I guess it may be down to the processor, which is the SD 695, which turns out to be more power efficient when I compared it to my Samsung m51's processor which is the SD 730G. And the SD 695 looks to out perform the the SD 730G, and from my experience with my Samsung, it isn't slow or laggy by any means. So I really don't get slating by some fans against the SD 695. The processor is really good. Good enough for the basic things. Other flagship processors like the 8xx series only look good on paper. There's no much difference. I use the Lenovo P2, I had it since 2018, the battery just got bad(swollen) and I can't seem to find a suitable replacement for it. The Lenovo P2 is the best phone I have ever used. So this Sony xperia 10 iv looks like a suitable replacement for me. Thanks for your feedback. I am subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing you doing some tests and camparisons like battery drain test, speed test and all in the nearest future. Thanks again.👍

@@cosmosokpighe4962 Glad you enjoy my content! And many thanks for subbing and thus supporting the channel! And yes I will commit to cover some in-depth topics on the Xperia 10 IV and I'm also looking into the possibility of some device comparisons 🙏🏾👌🏾 #staytuned

Oh that's slightly concerning to hear, I've had good experiences with both Sony themselves and skull candy. I have a sennheiser on deck too I'll have to try that on this device then, thanks for the heads-up and for your comment. Might be an interesting extra video I could do 👌🏾👍🏾

Afraid not sir, Sony is basically your only option at this moment in time.

s20 ultra and u can get cheap now

hTc Desire 20 plus hTC desire 21 Pro , desire 20 Pro

No.

Thanks for you comment! I'm glad you like the content so far! 🙏🏾

It's definitely not budget, but yes a perfect phone for me

For the money, it's a great phone. Lots going for it.

@@JamesGadbury I went with Pixel 6a instead. Most bugs have been ironed out and it performs really great for its price point. Recommended for anyone looking for a cheaper model.

Hi thanks for you comment, on Sony’s you can activate it on multi-tasking screens like on other Androids, OR you can use the multi window app from Sony on the desktop of your phone, really convenient and lets you save app pairs as well. Hope this answers your question.

Unfortunately I've been having poor weather over here in Europe however I'm planning on doing a camera comparison in the coming weeks where I will surely compare the zoom capabilities with other devices 👌🏾🙏🏾.

@@MI-Tech That sounds awesome! I'm looking forward to see it.

Thanks for your comment! And to answer your question basic use and light-gaming is where this phone shines. Performing regular tasks on the phone will also include great endurance. So for such tasks I can fully recommend this device!👌🏾

@@MI-Tech much appreciated ! Does it support 5G bands? Was wondering if you have tried it in the USA on T-Mobile network ?

@@SriSri-fo2je I know from personal experience with Xperia Phones and international phones in General, is that T-Mobile is the only network that works properly with 5G. As long as you steer clear of what are I believe WCDMA network providers like Verizon and/or Sprint -you should be good 👍🏾

I just got the device. First and foremost...it is quite a small looking device, smaller than I expected. It is very comfortable to hold. The device is a solid device. Screen is very good. You get deep blacks like you would from an amoled screen. The vivid colours aren't that overly saturated they lean towards more natural looking. The speaker isn't great to be honest it is quite low, sometimes you will hardly hear the phone ring from a distance. The battery is superb no more words on that. The camera....well I'm not into cameras and I really don't give a shit about cameras so I can't tell a good camera from a bad one honestly. But for me it's good enough. The sound from the 3.5mm jack is not overly loud, but it is crisp and sounds clean, I haven't even gotten a Sony earphone which will make it even better. As for the speed of the phone. I am yet to experience any lags, it handles the basic things pretty pretty well. I don't game with my mobile so I can't really tell you about gaming performance but from my experience with the phone, it will handle most games properly on medium settings. Cellular reception is fine. Download speed is fine too, not using the 5g yet as we are yet to get 5g in our country. This phone is targeted at a specific market. Basic phone users who care about battery life. If you understand this then you'd understand why Sony categorised the series the way they did. The Sony Xperia 1 IV, 5 IV, and 10 IV for instance all have 5,000mah batteries. But the 10iv has the highest battery endurance ratings, because no high refresh rates, no stereo speakers, no high end processors. The 1 IV, 5 IV, both have better screens with refresh rates, stereo speakers and better CPUs, but lower battery life. So something has to give. For me I priorities a long lasting battery over everything else is why I went for the 10 IV and it has delivered well in that regard. Overall a solid device with water and dust resistance with a gorrila glass victus. Just overpriced. But it's a lovely device that will last long.

@@cosmosokpighe4962 thank you so much bro, I've never read such a Long reply, I just skipped them😂 But not this time, again thank you so much

@@cosmosokpighe4962 I heard that the frame is plastic. Is it looks cheap to you?? I don't really like plastic frame.

It doesn't feel cheap to me

@@cosmosokpighe4962is it fast enough for normal use? Overall recommended? Thanks.

As I said in the video differences are very slight, it mainly comes down to the hardware shape and the chip inside 👌🏾 So if you have Mark III for example I would not recommend upgrading.

Does it feel smooth to use? My OnePlus 7 pro got water damaged after 3 years... Want a small form factor device. Just worried going from SD865 to 695 will be a bad experience 😂

@@JamieR did you end up getting this one? And if yes, is it fast enough? Overall recommended?

@@SriSri-fo2je Hi 😊 I got a pixel 6a instead. Very pleased 👌🏻

@@JamieR 6a is cool, better speed and camera.

During the day it will get close in terms of quality, and it will actually provide superior zoom shots because of the telelens. At night though the Pixel reigns supreme also in more challenging conditions the pixel is different class. It's even better than iPhones in this regard so nothing to be ashamed of for the Xperia. thanks for your question and thanks for watching! 🙏🏾👍🏾

@@MI-Tech thanks for clearing my doubt 😁

I don't own neither, but so take what I say with a grain of salt. Pixel support significantly more variety of cellular bands than the Xperia, so I think Pixel will be better for international travel. Both phones will have long lasting battery life, but 10 IV battery is bigger and some reviews like GSMArena suggests its battery last much longer. Pixel camera due to Google algorithm is excellent and very detailed, they have the best portrait mode tech, better than even iPhone. Even though the 6a don't have telephoto lens, they have digital zooming trick that retains details pretty well. I lean more toward Sony because it include microSD, headphone jack, and is trying to do things different than the popular manufacturers. One big bummer though is the 10 IV only have mono speaker, and not stereo like the 6a.

@@dukeman8481 thanks man for the well balanced reply by providing pros & cons of both devices.. Maybe I'll have to wait for pixel 7a or xperia 10 v till then I'll keep on using my iPhone 8...

Hi Jeeva thank you for your comment and it is certainly worth it because with its specific set of features it’s quite an unique offering. I would however advice to hold of buying it if you can, as we are entering into February which means the next gen of Xperias is just around the corner. 🔥

Thanks for your comment, single speaker isn't very impressive to be honest, although the sound is rich and loud it off course lacks any kind of bass as is to be expected from a single firing speaker. 😁

@@MI-Tech well no other reviews complained so it must be good enough. And the fingerprint sensor? 😊

Hey man thanks for your question friend 🙏🏾 As to your answer, no unfortunately you'll have to go higher up the Xperia line for that. the 10 IV maxes out at 1080/30 10 III still did 4K/30. Seeing as they have almost the same chip I'm hopeful they bring this to The 10 IV too with a future update. 🙏🏾

@@MI-Tech Thanks for asnwer, I found some info that it can but without sabilisation, can You confirm if that could be true?

​@@Kasspirrdid you find out if this phone can do 1080p@60fps? I find mixed info about it 😊

@@JamesGadbury Yes, I have the phone for almost a year. It can do 1080p@60 with and without stabilisation, however with stabilisation video is zoomed in more for unknown reason.

@@Kasspirr thank you so much for your informative reply 👍

It's purposeful, if you're looking for something unique in the class 👌🏾. And it should appeal to customers for whom stock Android is a must. But having said that it does carry over some weaknesses of its predecessors that is certainly true.

Thanks for watching!! Are you considering this device?

@@MI-Tech I would have him yes but I'm looking out for his older brothers.

Hmmm I don't have an iPhone 12 at hand, but I do have an iPhone 13 pro perhaps I can check to do a video quality comparison between those two?

@@MI-Tech yes sure sure, Please do it 3v3, I mean 3phone battle Sony Xperia 10 IV vs iPhone 13(as u said) vs and a great device which can give tough competition.✌️🔥

I would like to see the video quality compared to other phones aswell :)

I have a 10ii and want to stick with Sony but your comment makes me consider the Pixel 6a as the pricing on the Xperia 5 series is ridiculous. Sony aren't helping themselves with their pricing

@@Hiya_Pal don't change to 10iv! Honestly 10ii is better than this piece of sh*t

@Vincent Kang 100% truth. Quality plastic backs should be standard and it's a tragedy that glass is considered "premium" when all it does is make the phone heavier and easier to break lol.
