Sony Xperia 10 VI: Battery and Charging Test Results

Let’s dive deeper and look at the results.

Browsing Test results

The Xperia 10 VI scores nearly 11 hours of web browsing, which below the average and a bit surprising. On this test we see some strange anomalies: last year’s Xperia 10 V scored an insane 28+ hours, and now we are back to normality with its successor.

There is no rational explanation behind this unfortunately, and we have to attribute it to some strange way Sony phones are processing this test, or a tweak in the software layer.

Compared to other rivals, the Xperia 10 VI ends up quite a bit behind in this low-intensity battery test.

YouTube Test results

But the Xperia 10 VI more than makes up for that early loss with outstanding performance when it comes to YouTube video streaming, our second battery metric.

It lasts for nearly 13 hours and a half, beating the Pixel 8a and Galaxy A55 easily! This is impressive as thirteen hours of non-stop video over a Wi-Fi connection is way more than you could watch in a day.

3D Gaming Test results

With a score of about 8 hours and a half, the Pixel is close to the average in this category.

Our 3D Gaming test is different than the rest in that it stresses specifically the GPU of a phone and introduces a totally different load than the other, CPU-based battery tests.

Remember that for this test, we also run all the phones using the same graphics settings and the same 60Hz refresh rate to ensure uniformity.

Charging Test

In this category, the OnePlus 12R is the undisputed leader, as it charges fully in just 27 minutes!

Wireless Charging

Unfortunately, the Xperia 10 VI does not support wireless charging.
