The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

A compact, rugged Xperia with versatile cameras and connectivity, but charging and software support limit its appeal.

What is good

  • IP68 protection and a lightweight 172 g body
  • 5G, Wi-Fi 6E and USB-C 3.2 connectivity
  • 6.1-inch 120Hz OLED with 449 ppi

What is not

  • 30W charging is modest for a 5000 mAh battery
  • Android 12 feels dated
  • 800-nit OLED brightness can be limited outdoors

How the score breaks down

  • Performance 71
  • Camera 60
  • Display 67
  • Battery 27
  • Connectivity 93
  • Build 93
