Pros and Cons

Sony Xperia 10 VI

Strengths

The phone has solid Ingress Protection with IP65 rating, which is a nice feature for a mid-ranger.
The speakers on the phone are louder than last year's model and deliver good sound quality with no distortion.
The battery life is quite competitive, with an active use score of almost 14 hours, although not as exciting as the previous model.
The phone has improved thermal management compared to last year's model, keeping performance relatively stable during stress tests.
The camera app is redesigned and simplified, making it easier to use.
The front-facing camera produces better detail definition than last year's model, even if skin tones don't come out natural.
The Ultra-wide camera captures great images with good level of detail, saturated colors, and more natural looking highlights in low light.
The phone has improved software support with a simplified camera app and better low-light performance.

Weaknesses

The display has a strong color shift, which might be a concern for some users.
The phone only has a 60Hz refresh rate, which is lower than most other smartphones on the market today.
The main camera captures contrasty images with dark shadows and saturated colors that don't appear very natural, especially in low light.
The phone misses out on a telephoto camera, which might be a disappointment for some users who value zoom capabilities.
The phone doesn't come with a charger in the box, and charging is slow even with a proper adapter.
Low-light photos from the main camera have noticeably dark shadows and lack detailed colors, although they are better than last year's model.

Strengths

The Ulefone Armor 27 Pro has a slim and rugged design that feels amazing in the hand, making it convenient to carry around.
The phone features an impressive IP68 and IP69K rating for dust and water resistance, giving you confidence when using it in harsh environments.
The triple camera setup at the rear is incredibly versatile, with a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 64MP night vision camera that can see through pitch-black darkness.
The phone's toolbox pre-installed app offers a range of handy tools, such as a protractor, height meter, compass, and more, making it a great companion for outdoor enthusiasts.
The Ulefone Armor 27 Pro has long battery life, with up to 2.5 days of constant usage on a single charge, making it perfect for extended adventures without worrying about running out of power.

Weaknesses

Unfortunately, the phone's manual and other paperwork are so small that you may find yourself needing to watch a video review like this one just to understand its features and specifications.
While the custom button on the side is convenient for quick actions, it can be somewhat finicky in terms of sensitivity, requiring some calibration to get right.

Sony Xperia 10 VI

The Sony Xperia 10 Mark 6 is a compact mid-range phone that doesn't break new ground, but rather offers a generational refresh to the series. The most notable changes include a new chipset and a reduction in camera count from three to two. Design-wise, it's similar to its predecessor, with a lightweight and relatively tall and thin body. The display is a 6.1-inch OLED panel with a 1080p resolution, 21:9 aspect ratio, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. While it looks decent, it suffers from a strong color shift and maintains the same 60Hz refresh rate as before. The speakers, however, have improved in terms of volume and sound quality. The phone runs on Android 14 with some custom Sony features, such as multi-window mode and s sense, which allows for quick access to apps and features through a handle on the side of the screen. A notable upgrade is the ability to record 4K video using the main camera, but the quality still suffers from an overly contrasty look. The camera setup has been trimmed down, with a 48MP main cam and an 8MP Ultra-wide, but lacks features like manual mode and PR mode. Photos taken in good lighting are contrasty, while those in low light are more detailed and accurate in terms of color representation. Overall, the Xperia 10 Mark 6 is a solid mid-ranger with a unique compact form factor, commendable battery life, and improved software support. However, its display's strong color shift and 60Hz refresh rate may be a drawback for some users.

Ulefone Armor 27

The camera features include a night vision mode, video mode, photo mode, film mode, and more. Additionally, the phone comes with a built-in remote control app that allows users to control IR devices, such as TVs. The Ulefone Armor 27 Pro also features a toolbox pre-installed app that includes various measurement tools, such as a protractor, height meter, compass, and plumb tool. The phone's battery is 10,600mAh, which provides long battery life of around 2-3 days with constant use. Other notable specifications include an IPS LCD display, Mediatek Dimensity 6300 chipset, 12GB RAM, and 256GB internal storage. The phone also features IP68 and IP69K dust and water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor activities and harsh environments.
