    I have the 10vi. It’s pretty good for the money I paid (~300€). The UI is very close to plain android which is nice and doesn’t have a billion extra apps pre-installed like Samsung. The battery has been great so far. MicroSD and headphone jack are great features and I think you can also unlock the bootloader.

    Having said that, some issues I’ve had that may or may not exist in other versions:

    • The lock screen is buggy as hell, way too many accidental fingerprint unlocks and camera bugs that have persisted across updates.
    • In Europe (different countries) it’s only ever gotten 5G once.
    • Sony is doing something weird with its camera hardware. Any apps that try to use the camera outside the official app are having issues focusing and one app was actually crashing. This is not an everyday issue but would be a problem if you want to use a third party camera app.

    I’d still recommend it but maybe try to find a discount cause Sony overcharges a lot.
