At the time the Xperia 10 V was launched (May 2023) , Sony did not focus too much on the performance factor but instead on the product’s battery life and I shared this in the review . Sony Xperia 10 V performance price . So what is the battery life of the Sony Xperia 10 V at the present time? To find the answer, in today’s article, I will evaluate the Sony Xperia 10 V battery with real-life tasks and the conditions I share in detail below.
Let’s verify how the Xperia 10 V’s battery life is at the present time. In the Xperia 10 V battery review, I did two parts including:
- Battery evaluation with 4 actual usage tasks rotating (from 100% to 0%).
- Measure the time it takes to fully charge the device’s battery (from 0% to 100%).
Before starting, I will quickly review the Sony Xperia 10 V configuration parameters based on Sony’s homepage :
- Screen: Size 6.1 inches, 21:9 ratio, OLED panel, FHD+ resolution (2,520 x 1,080 pixels).
- CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G.
- GPU: Adreno 619.
- RAM: 6 GB.
- Internal memory: 128 GB.
- Battery: 5,000 mAh, supports fast charging via USB Power Delivery (USD PD). GSMArena site believes that the maximum charging capacity that the device supports can be 21 W.
- Operating system: Android 14.
Xperia 10 V is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery.
Procedure for performing battery assessment
Standards for performing a battery assessment with 4 rotating actual usage tasks (from 100% to 0%)
- Experience 4 rotating tasks:
- Play Lien Quan (set the graphics to the maximum level that the device supports as shown below)
- Watch videos on YouTube.
- Use Facebook.
- Watch videos on TikTok.
This is the graphics setting that I adjusted in Lien Quan Mobile to evaluate the Xperia 10 V battery.
- Each task takes 1 hour.
- Rotate tasks from 100% to 0%.
- The device only uses 1 task and has no multitasking applications running in the background.
- The device has a SIM card and network connection, but only uses Wi-Fi connection throughout the review.
- Screen brightness 100%, turn off automatic brightness adjustment feature.
- Turn on the speakerphone at 50% volume.
- Do not turn on STAMINA mode (this is battery saving mode), do not turn on GPS and Bluetooth.
I did not turn on STAMINA Mode (or more simply, battery saving mode) on the Xperia 10 V throughout the battery test with 4 rotating real-life usage tasks.
Battery review results
The results I obtained are as shown in the image below, the 5,000 mAh battery of the Xperia 10 V at the present time can operate continuously for 11 hours and 27 minutes for 4 rotating tasks.
Detailed measurement table of battery life of Xperia 10 V according to each task.
So with 100% battery on the Xperia 10 V and according to the standards in the battery review, right below will be the amount of time you can use each task. Table summarizing the battery life of Xperia 10 V through a battery review with 4 rotating actual usage tasks (from 100% to 0%).
Battery charge time of Sony Xperia 10 V
Standards for measuring battery charge time (from 0% to 100%)
Sony does not announce the official fast charging capacity of
the Xperia 10 V (charging from 0% to 100%), I used the Ugreen charging cable and Ugreen 100 W charger to replace the genuine Sony 30 W USB-C charger.
This is a genuine Sony 30W charger and cable set, but I currently do not have these two accessories. Source: Sony.
Therefore, I will use the Ugreen 100 W charger and Ugreen charging cable to measure the time to fully charge the Xperia 10 V battery.
Below are the conditions in the test to measure the full charge time of the Xperia 10 V battery:
- The machine is powered on.
- The device has a SIM card and network connection, but only uses Wi-Fi connection throughout the review.
- The device connects to the network and receives notifications normally.
- Charge continuously from 0% to 100% and do not use the device during charging.
- Turned off the “Use Battery Care” feature to prioritize fully charging the device’s battery to 100%.
I turned off the “Use Battery Care” feature to prioritize fully charging the Xperia 10 V battery to 100%.
Results of measuring battery charging time
As a result, it took me 1 hour and 49 minutes to fully charge the 5,000 mAh battery of the Xperia 10 V (charging from 0% to 100%).
To fully charge the Xperia 10 V’s battery (charging from 0% to 100%), it took me 1 hour and 49 minutes.
Some of my comments
After doing the review, I found that the battery life of the Xperia 10 V is very impressive compared to many other smartphone models in the same segment at the present time. Typically, the Xiaomi 13T Pro model that I evaluated gave a battery life of 8 hours and 33 minutes in a test of 4 rotating real-life tasks.
Returning to the battery life of the Xperia 10 V, the detailed table of rotating task battery results shows that the percentage of consumption of each task in the first 4 hours and divided to get an average).
During the next 4 hours and the remaining 3 hours and 27 minutes of the battery review, the Xperia 10 V also consumed an average of about 7% and 9.25% of the battery. In particular, the task of playing Lien Quan Mobile for 1 hour consumes the most battery with a consumption of more than 10% of the battery.
Throughout the process of evaluating the Xperia 10 V battery with 4 rotating real-life usage tasks (from 100% to 0%), I found that playing Lien Quan Mobile caused the device to drain the battery the most. In my opinion, the Xperia 10 V’s long battery life may be because the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor does not consume much power. This is also shown by the fact that the device did not experience heat throughout the process of conducting the battery review. Besides, part of the reason may come from the fact that the Xperia 10 V is equipped with an Android operating system with little customization and limited background tasks. The Xperia 10 V’s long battery life can be attributed to the Snapdragon 695 5G’s ability to optimize power consumption and the less-customized Android operating system. In terms of the Xperia 10 V’s battery charging speed, this is the factor that makes me dissatisfied with the product because I had to wait 1 hour and 49 minutes to fully charge the battery from 0% to 100%. This will cause some inconvenience in cases where you need to use the device urgently. When I looked at the results of the battery charge time table (from 0% to 100%) in the Xperia 10 V review conducted by GSMArena , they also had to wait nearly 2 hours (specifically 1 hour 58 hours). minute). Even when Sony has launched its successor, the Xperia 10 VI, the time to fully charge the device’s battery is not much different from the Xperia 10 V, specifically 1 hour 53 minutes and 1 hour 58 minutes ( I refer to the information in the Xperia 10 VI review from the GSMArena site ). Therefore, I hope the next Xperia 10 model (possibly Xperia 10 VII) will be equipped with fast charging with higher capacity by Sony.
According to data from GSMArena reviews, the time to fully charge the Xperia 10 V battery is 1 hour 58 minutes, faster than 2 hours 30 minutes in the previous generation Xperia 10 IV. Source: GSMArena.
Meanwhile, although the Xperia 10 VI is the successor of the Xperia 10 V, the device’s battery charging time is not faster (specifically 1 hour 53 minutes compared to 1 hour 58 minutes).
