Everything worth knowing about the Sony Xperia 10 II and Sony Xperia 1 II
- 08 Jul, 2020
Xperia 10 II, the latest mid-range phone, is undoubtedly an improvement to the Xperia 10. Sony has corrected the issues starting with improving the design. Xperia 10 II offers a great media-viewing experience and the camera system has a rational organization of the optics, a 16mm Super Wide Angle, a 26mm Wide-Angle and a 52mm Telephoto Lens. The quality is consistent moving between the 3 cameras and much better than other Android phones. This mid-range phone is waterproof (up to 1.5 m) for 30 minutes and dustproof.
The screen is the exact same size and resolution as Xperia 10 but is OLED, making the blacks deeper, greater contrast, and more vivid colours. The battery also gets a boost to 3,600 mAh. Lastly, the back is made of Gorilla Glass 6 giving the phone a flagship feeling and a higher resemblance to Xperia 1 II. The real glass makes the phone compatible with wireless charging, but Sony has not inserted the feature yet. The only drawback is that if the phone falls on the back, the glass is most likely to break. Conclusively, Sony has tapped a specific audience and found the right style for the products. However, the exact decisions lie in the reception of the market. Some doubts remain about the reception of these 21:9 telephones with such an elongated shape among the mainstream public, while competition is pushing on technical specifications and borderless design, especially in the “midrange” area.
