Let's talk about the Sony Xperia 10 VI - this little blue beauty surprised me in ways I didn't expect. First off, that OLED display? Gorgeous. Watching HDR content feels like peering through a window rather than staring at a screen.

The compact 6.1-inch size is perfect for one-handed use - a rarity these days when every phone seems to be competing for 'biggest slab' award. And yes, that headphone jack is still there! As someone who refuses to give up wired audio, this alone makes me want to hug Sony's product team.

Performance-wise, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 handles daily tasks smoothly. Don't expect console-level gaming though - it's decent for casual games but gets warm during extended sessions. Where this phone truly shines is battery life. Coming from phones that died by lunchtime, getting through a full day of videos and music with juice to spare feels like magic.

Now the downsides: The global version means no warranty (gulp), and CDMA users are out of luck. Also, while the camera takes decent shots in good light, low-light performance could be better. That said, if you're on GSM (like T-Mobile) and want a unique Android experience with incredible stamina, this might be your next daily driver.
