Sony Xperia 10

Sony Xperia 10 product description

The Sony Xperia 10 is one of the few smartphones with a 21:9 screen. This makes it ideal for devouring content such as videos. What other advantages it has and whether we can find disadvantages is something we will cheque here.

21:9 offers advantages and disadvantages

Sony announced the Xperia 10 in early 2019. It is not the first 21:9 phone but one of the few. That has its reasons. On the one hand because it is a somewhat uncomfortable ratio. The Xperia 10 is relatively long so you don't store it in your pocket unnoticed. On the other hand, the striking screen ratio does have a number of advantages. For example, you can watch movies without screen bars and you have more screen space to show multiple apps at the same time.

Premium mid-range

The Sony Xperia 10 is a so-called mid-range phone which makes it less expensive and less powerful. Unfortunately, this is also reflected in the performance, which is somewhat disappointing. Sony uses a Snapdragon 630 processor that is powerful enough on its own so it seems to be included in the software. Hopefully Sony will be able to solve this later via an update. We are very pleased with the appearance. The front is made of sturdy Gorilla Glass 5 which keeps it beautiful longer while the back is made of plastic with a metallic look. The advantage of plastic over metal is that it doesn't feel that cold, which is very welcome in the winter months.

Main Sony Xperia 10 specifications

• 21:9 widescreen 6-inch display
• Fast mobile internet thanks to 4G
• 13 + 5 Mpixel rear camera with portrait mode
• 8 Mpixel selfie camera with portrait mode
• Able to insert memory cards
• Dual SIM functionality

Camera prepared for the screen

As we can expect from Sony, the Xperia 10 is equipped with excellent cameras. On the back we find two 13 and 5 megapixel shooters. They shoot a picture at the same time, so that the Xperia 10 can recognise 10 depths, something that is necessary to take beautiful portrait photos. The camera of the 10 shoot decent pictures, but in the dark even the bright f/2.0 lens has more trouble. Handy is that you can shoot photos and even videos in the 21:9 format so that you can make maximum use of the new screen.
