Snapdragon 695? “No, thanks”, said the people in last week’s poll. The Sony Xperia 10 V is looking like a flop as the outdated chipset and 60Hz display are a tough sell at €450.

There isn’t much else to say about the 10 V, a few people who like the phone for its size, card slot and headphone jack commented that they may as well get the Mark 4 – the few upgrades of the 2023…

‘Speed’ Writer Has a Pitch That Could Convince Keanu Reeves to Return
