GoSolo Verdict

The Xperia 10 VIII is a rare phone that actually makes you think about what midrange phones ought to be: lean on bloat, decent at photos, and small enough to pocket without drama. It is not a powerhouse, but it is built with taste, and for someone worn out by 6.8-inch slabs, it is worth the 600 EUR ask.

Strengths · 4

OLED display at 6.1 inches for 600 EUR is uncommon; most rivals stick to cheaper LCD at this price
Light (168g) and thin (8.3mm) design makes it actually pocketable, with a narrow 19.5:9 ratio that does not sacrifice screen real estate
IP65/IP68 rating includes full submersion to 1.5m—better than rivals that offer splash resistance only
Four major OS updates and five-year security patches show Sony is backing the device, not abandoning it at launch

Trade-offs · 3

Charging specs are not listed, leaving buyers guessing on speed—a major omission at this price point
Camera relies on hardware optics rather than AI night mode, so low-light and zoomed shots will lag rivals in computational photography
No charging speed or wireless charging; USB Type-C 2.0 is slower than the current norm
