Get the lowdown on the Sony’s latest handset featuring a large best-in-class battery in the world’s lightest body – plus you could win a brand new Sony TV

By Virgin TV Edit

It’s the old legend: sacrifice something you need to get what you want. Want a lightweight phone? Then you’ll need to deal with your handset constantly running out of juice. Want to prioritise battery life? Then you’ll need to carry something around that looks (and weighs) like a brick that fell out of the 1980s. Alternatively you could just look at the Sony Xperia 10 V.

 

Unlike many handsets that forgo one thing or the other, the Xperia 10 V doesn’t compromise. It’s remarkably lightweight and compact, yet it boasts a large 5,000mAh battery. So you can do more of what you want, when you want.

 

It’s available now on Virgin Mobile in black with no upfront cost, from £19 a month on a 36-month contract. But that’s not all. Until Wednesday 12 July, you could also claim a pair of Sony WH-CH520 headphones worth £49.99 (RRP).

 

Read on to learn more about how this all-rounder ticks all the boxes. And to celebrate the launch of the Sony Xperia 10 V on Virgin Mobile, you could win a brand new Sony TV – scroll down to the bottom of this page to find out how.

 

Lightweight. Big battery


With a best-in-class 5,000mAh large capacity battery, the Xperia 10 V can easily handle all your everyday activities – whether you’re listening to music, playing games or shooting photos and videos. That serious power means you could play movies non-stop for 34 hours. But long battery life doesn’t equate to handset heaviness. Weighing in at just 159g, the Xperia 10 V remains remarkably lightweight and compact, so you can comfortably carry it anywhere and everywhere.

 

Experience richer sound and pictures


The Xperia 10 V takes smartphone entertainment up a notch with front stereo speakers for multi-dimensional sound and an OLED display up to 50% brighter than the previous model – drawing on Sony’s years of TV expertise. Unlike many devices, it also keeps the 3.5mm audio jack. So you can still enjoy the wired listening experience, with superior-quality materials and electronic components delivering high-fidelity sound.

 

Live life, capture life


With a new image sensor and easy functions for shooting photos, videos and selfies, the Xperia 10 V is there to capture the moments that matter. It keeps things simple with intelligent scene, conditions and subject detection technology to automatically select the ideal settings for the best shot.

 

The camera performance has also been improved to ensure low light photos with less noise – perfect if you’re shooting at night. You’ll also be spoiled for choice when it comes to how you take your photo, with three unique lenses.

 

Don’t forget, you can get the Sony Xperia 10 V in black on Virgin Mobile with no upfront cost, from £19 a month on a 36-month contract. Until Wednesday 12 July, you could also claim a pair of Sony WH-CH520 headphones worth £49.99 (RRP).
