Battery and maintenance

Charging your device

You can charge your device with either a wireless charger or a wired charger from a
wall socket or computer. You can still use your device while charging.
If the battery is depleted, it may take up to 30 minutes for your device to respond
to the charging. During this time, the screen may remain completely dark, not
showing the charging icon. It can take up to 4 hours for a completely drained
battery to be fully charged. Charging speed may be affected by ambient
temperature.
Note
Your device has an embedded, rechargeable battery that can only be replaced by an
authorized Sony repair center. Never try to open or take apart the device yourself. Doing so
can cause damage and void your warranty.
Wired charging
Always use the original Sony charger and a USB Type-C cable intended for your
specific Xperia model, since other types of chargers can increase charging time,
not charge at all, or may even damage your device.
Ensure all USB ports and connectors are completely dry before inserting the USB
Type-C cable. If water is detected, a warning notification appears in the Notification
panel.
Wireless charging
You can purchase a Sony or third-party brand wireless charger to charge your
device wirelessly.
If you use your device while charging, the charging speed may become slower or
even stop to protect the battery. The use of some applications while charging may
disable charging or affect the charging function. For example, using the camera
during wireless charging may cause static noise on the image.
Be sure to remove any screen or phone covers when using the wireless charging
function.
Note the following:
• Do not put any metal parts between the device and the charger, due to risk of heat
injury.
• Do not put any credit cards on the charger, since they may get demagnetized or
broken.
Note
If your device is incorrectly placed on the wireless charger, charging time will increase
significantly.
