Sony Xperia 10 II Review

The Sony Xperia 10 II is an attractive phone, with its design easily the main appeal. The 21:9 is a handy treat for those who like the novelty of Android multitasking and widescreen content. However, sub-par performance, a middling screen and disappointing camera features leave the door open for stronger rivals to nab your cash.

Premium design; Decent 21:9 display; Useful fingerprint sensor; Strong camera basics; Water-resistance;

Mediocre performance; Slippery; Below average battery life capabilities;

Sony Xperia 10 II review

The Sony Xperia 10 II is a mid-ranger with unique talents. If you're after an affordable phone with a 21:9 OLED display and/or IP65/68 water and dust resistance in a svelte, stylish design, the 10 II is for you. It can't, however, compete on matters of processing, battery or camera performance when placed against rival devices from the likes of Realme and Xiaomi.

A mid-ranger with water-resistance; Slim, lightweight design; Nice OLED display;

Underwhelming battery life; No fast charger in-box; Middling performance;

Sony Xperia 10 II review: Slightly off the beat

Sony's mid-range phone offers some unique features in its compact format and it has a high quality IP-rated (water-resistant) design. It's paired with reasonable hardware and battery, while the software is pretty clean. But it's overpriced for the hardware you get and the camera experience just isn't competitive.

Great design; Nice compact format; IP65/68 waterproofing; Good display; Minimal bloatware; 3.5mm headphone socket;

Poor camera app; Poor camera performance; Poor Wi-Fi performance; Overpriced for the performance;
