Experience realistic gaming on Sony Xperia 10 VI
Realistic gaming experience standards
To test the actual gaming capabilities of the Xperia 10 VI, I downloaded 4 games to the device including:
- Lien Quan Mobile.
- League of Legends: Wild Rift.
- PUBG Mobile.
- Call Of Duty Mobile.
These are the 4 games that I use to experience actual gaming on Xperia 10 VI.
Conditions for actual game experience on Xperia 10 VI are as follows:
- Use Perfdog software to measure FPS data for each game.
- Set the in-game graphics to the maximum level the device can support.
- Normal room temperature without air conditioning (about 28 – 30 degrees Celsius).
- Screen brightness 100%, turn off automatic brightness adjustment feature.
- External speaker volume 50%.

Overview results of FPS measurement table for games
Below is a table of FPS measurement results of games that I have actually played on Xperia 10 VI.
This is the FPS summary table of the 4 games I played on Xperia 10 VI.
Suggestions for optimizing FPS when playing PUBG Mobile
In case you want to maximize FPS when playing PUBG Mobile on Xperia 10 VI, I recommend reducing the Graphics settings to HDR and pushing the Frame Rate in the game to Extreme (equivalent to 60 FPS). ).
If you want to shoot PUBG Mobile with 60 FPS on Xperia 10 VI, set the game graphics as shown in the picture. I tried measuring FPS when playing PUBG Mobile with the above graphics settings, the Xperia 10 VI now achieved an average frame rate of 59.3, much higher than the 39.7 number I measured at first. I will describe this game experience in more detail below in the article. Compare PUBG Mobile’s FPS table when I set Ultra HDR graphics, Extremely High FPS (above) and when I set HDR graphics, Extreme FPS (below)

Some of my comments
In my opinion, Xperia 10 VI does not focus too much on performance factors but instead retains the most quintessential things from its predecessor Xperia 10 V. Specifically, we will have a device with a high conversion rate. Sony’s signature 21:9 screen ratio (which is no longer on the Xperia 1 VI flagship model) with an elongated, compact appearance and especially long battery life.
In fact, throughout the process of evaluating Xperia 10 VI performance, I found that the product has very impressive battery life. I will have an article sharing more details about Xperia 10 VI battery life in the near future, please follow and look forward to it.
The battery life of the Xperia 10 VI is a factor that I highly appreciate in the product, and is also a strong point of the Sony Xperia 10 Series in general. Although the Xperia 10 VI is not a strong product in terms of performance, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor inside the device has been upgraded compared to its predecessor Xperia 10 V not only in terms of performance but also in playing experience. realistic game. Xperia 10 VI with Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip has brought some improvements in power compared to the previous generation, Xperia 10 V using Snapdragon 695. The proof is that in the game PUBG Mobile, Xperia 10 VI can compete with the title This game has graphics settings at Ultra HDR and Extremely High FPS, this is something that its predecessor Xperia 10 V could not do (the device could only play at maximum HD graphics, High FPS). Perhaps the Adreno 710 graphics core inside the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is more powerful than the Adreno 619 of the Snapdragon 695 5G. The Xperia 10 VI can play PUBG Mobile with the graphics settings at maximum and I did not see any lag during the game. When I control the character, aim and change the perspective while playing PUBG Mobile, the Xperia 10 VI no longer experiences frequent lags like the previous generation. I can even play PUBG Mobile on the device with an average frame rate of up to 59.3 FPS when reducing the graphics from Ultra HDR to HDR level. For comparison, when the Xperia 10 V reduces the graphics in PUBG Mobile to Balanced, Extremely High FPS, the device produces an average frame rate of only 39.8 FPS. Compare the FPS table in PUBG Mobile game of Xperia 10 VI (left) and Xperia 10 V (right). We can easily see that the Xperia 10 VI with Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip gives a better PUBG playing experience than the Snapdragon 695 of the previous generation. Previously, I also conducted a performance review of the Xperia 10 V including performance scoring and actual gaming experience. You can read and refer to it further.
Continuing with the remaining 3 games including Lien Quan Mobile, League of Legends: Wild Rift and Call Of Duty Mobile, Xperia 10 VI can still play these games with maximum graphics settings and frame rates. average ~ 57 – 60 FPS.
For two popular MOBA genre games, Lien Quan Mobile and League of Legends: Wild Rift, Xperia 10 VI both produced an average frame rate of 59.6 FPS.
I am satisfied with the Lien Quan Mobile game experience on Xperia 10 VI, the device rarely lags even when two teams fight with many complex effects. For another MOBA game, League of Legends: Wild Rift, Xperia 10 VI can still provide a smooth playing experience with high frame rates. Finally, for the game Call Of Duty Mobile, Xperia 10 VI also achieved an average frame rate of 57.4 FPS, a very impressive number. If you are wondering why the pink line (representing frame rate fluctuations) suddenly drops in the middle of the FPS measurement table, that’s when I move on to the next level. Regarding the experience of shooting Call Of Duty Mobile on Xperia 10 VI, I have nothing to criticize as the control operations for movement, aiming, continuous fighting,… all take place smoothly. Throughout the actual gaming experience of the Xperia 10 VI, there are 3 factors that I highly appreciate in the device (in fact, these factors are all maintained from the previous generation, the as follows: 1. The 21:9 screen ratio makes checking the map in MOBA games easier and more comprehensive than other screen ratios. I appreciate the 21:9 screen ratio of the Xperia 10 VI, especially when playing MOBA games. 2. The elongated design and compact size provide a comfortable holding experience when playing games. In addition, the back and four edges of the device are also finished in a rough finish to limit fingerprints. The back and four edges of the Xperia 10 VI are finished in a rough finish to limit fingerprints. This is a big plus for someone like me who often sweats a lot. 3. 3.5 mm audio port gives me more choices in audio experience (connect the device with high quality wired headphones). Thereby, the sound quality will be transmitted better when we play games or listen to music. The 3.5 mm audio port is one of the characteristic features when mentioning the Xperia 10 VI in particular and other Sony Xperia smartphone models in general. So how do you rate the performance of the Sony Xperia 10 VI? Please complete the voting chart below and comment at the end of the article to express your opinion. Thank you for your interest and following.
