Design

The Xperia 10 IV has a plastic frame and back panel and Corning Glass Victus for the screen. The earpiece, front-facing camera, notification LED, and various sensors are housed in the top bezel, while the single front-firing speaker is housed in the bottom bezel. The power button/fingerprint sensor and volume rocker are located on the right side of the device, while the 3.5 mm headphone jack is located on the top. The rear cameras are located at the upper left-hand corner of the phone, with the LED flash above. The bottom edge has the primary microphone and a USB-C port. It is rated IP65/IP68 dust/water-proof up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. Black, White, Mint, and Lavender are the colours available at launch. Xperia 10 IV is also the last Xperia 10 series to feature LED notification light as the successor, Xperia 10 V, removed the feature the following year.
