Buying call

Buy the Xperia 10 VII if you want a light 6.1-inch phone with a 120Hz OLED, a 5,000mAh battery that easily lasts two days of light use, a 3.5mm jack and a microSD slot. Front stereo speakers make it a good video phone. Skip it if you play demanding games or shoot a lot at night, because the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is midrange silicon and the 50MP main camera gets soft in low light. Charging is slow by today's standards.
