To recap

The Sony Xperia 10 IV is a compact device with the advantage of waterproofing and with some high-end features like a telephoto camera and support for high-res music thanks to LDAC - but it lacks power, the camera is poor and the experience suffers as a result. At this price, there are plenty of better options.
