Great screen, great feel in hand, crappy speakers.

Model Name: Xperia 10Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I got this phone twice. The first one arrived with a bad Sim card reader. I returned it and the seller sent a replacement very quickly! I love the feel of this phone, it's large but slim and great to hold in my hand. The screen quality is fantastic! I watch Netflix and Hulu on this phone and the picture is astounding! The audio is crappy through the speakers and the volume is not very loud at max setting. Not great for running iheartradio poolside but connected quickly to my pool speaker through Bluetooth. I'm glad this phone has a headphone jack! I'm a lefty and the fingerprint scanner on the right edge of the phone is not an issue, as had been mentioned on another review. I would buy this phone again or upgrade to an Expeia 1. It's a good rival of my kids' Galaxy S9, IMO.

Solid mid-range phone

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019

I like the form factor, a long phone, which is ergonomic. Sony's version of Android is extremely cut down and simple. The Xperia 10's speakers are amazing. The speakers are the best that I have ever heard. The sound seems extremely natural and comparable to stand alone speakers. The camera is solid, but it's auto focus on macro shots are questionable at times. The battery life is decent for a puny 2870 mAh battery. I only use the phone for reading, web surfing, and non-intense tasks. I can get by charging it once every two days. After significant battery degradation and wear and tear in the future, I worry that the battery life will be poor.

Also, I suspect that I bought an open-box phone because the box appeared to be re-taped. The smartphone's plastic packaging appeared to be opened because a significant amount of dust was inside the plastic packaging. The cables and charging adapter looked brand new. Then again, I paid $295, which was discounted $54 from MSRP, so I understand that Amazon.com had to off-load their other inventory at a discounted rate.

I hope Sony's smartphone division can break even or be profitable again because they make solid phones at the mid-range price point. The Xperia 10's bizarre long 21:9 body design is a strong step forward to try new designs to differentiate themselves from the competition. If Sony shuts down its smartphone business, it's going to be a dull world with only Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi dominating with their boring designs.

I love Sony Xperia 10 plus

What I liked most about this device is that its very handy, has a lot of storage space and a very clear camera. What I didn't like about the device is the battery life, it drains too fast.
The touch function though after a while begins to malfunction and I don't know why.

RECEIVED FAULTY PHONE FROM AMAZON GLOBAL

Model Name: Xperia 10Color: SilverVerified Purchase

I purchased Xperia 10 international version recently. It looks pretty good but when I checked its camera, fingerprint sensor, power key, volume key everything was quite well, but I noticed there is an issue with the bottom speakers of my Xperia 10. On of its bottom speaker is not working, I tried to fix it out but negative. I tried to contact technical support but they are not responding. Very bad experience with Sony and AMAZON. I Didn't expect such a faulty device from Amazon Global. Wrost experience. I would request here Amazon Tech Support to contact me on my mail ID or I shall have return this device

Lasted me for 3 years of heavy abuse and use, never used a case. The only downside was that it wasn't 5g.
Would buy again.

Good enough for me, great for my wife... when it finally arrived. [EDIT]

Hello. I purchased this phone for my wife's birthday party. A note about shipping is after my review.

I purchased this phone for my wife. Her previous phone was a Microsoft Lumia 950, pushing 3 years of usage. This was a very good upgrade from that phone.

The size difference was easily distinguishable and the first thing she noticed. The width is skinnier than the Lumia 950. The screen is also bigger, about an inch longer diagonally. She has small hands and it's perfect for her to grip with one hand and use. She's always used 2 hands for her smart phones so it's still a habit for her to use two hands with this, but I see her using one hand more often than before.

Next, after turning on and setting up the phone, the next noticeable thing was the amount of apps available. On the Lumia 950 she had to go through a website or just not participate due to lack of apps in the Windows store, but now that hasn't been an issue. She's been able to download a bunch of apps that have been very useful (for example, the Walmart app allows for Walmart Pay and she used the app to pay for a transaction in-store when she forgot her credit card at home).

Last, she loves the camera and massive screen. She casually takes photographs but really enjoys the 21:9 aspect ratio for taking wide photos. She uploads to Instagram to show her family and friends back at her hometown and the quality of the photos that came from the Xperia 10 have been great.

For me, I prefer something more mid-range (I have the Honor View 10 which IMO takes better quality photos and runs smoother) so I personally would rate this as "good enough" but for her, it greatly surpasses her basic needs and she loves the phone.

Quick tip: she set up fingerprint unlock once for her thumb and it would misread her print a great deal, so I had her "register" another fingerprint when in actuality she just registered her thumb a second time and now it rarely misreads her fingerprint.

Finally, a note about shipping: I preordered the phone on March 13 for my wife's birthday present, it released on March 18, and was marked as shipped on March 20. A week went by with no shipping updates so I called Amazon support and the representative said that it was stuck at the warehouse, so she would send another phone rush delivery and when the original phone arrives to send it back. The second phone arrived on March 28, a few days after my wife's birthday. I received the original phone in mid-April and sent it back.

[EDIT] This phone gets one less star due to some apps just not working properly. I installed the McDonald's app and Nike SNKRS app and both won't properly connect, even though mine doesn't have any problems. It could be because her Google account is originally from another country that is now being used in the United States but I don't know. On her phone, the McDonald's app won't show daily deals and she cannot do mobile order, and the SNKRS app just keep saying there's an error when trying to log in.

Love this phone and the screen is gorgeous. I'm no professional reviewer but this phone is unique and everyone comments how they wish they saw this instead of the two from the duopoly here in the u.s.
Now yeah there are drawbacks but the positives outweigh them. Running two apps on the screen at the same time as a split screen is awesome. Plus the hand feel is great. It's not too heavy and it's not inconvenient length wise if you're like me with bigger hands than most.

Specs and Sony Xperia 1

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2019

Model Name: Xperia 10 PlusColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Sony's Xperia 10 Plus was quite a disappointment specification wise. I will make this pretty simple and self explanatory. 1. 4GB of Ram 2. Battery 3. Camera Quality and Processor. The only thing Sony got right was the size and screen of the phone. Now for everyone else out there dont shit on Sony too much. These recently released phones are still great but the only category I could fit this into would be someone who needs a basic smartphone and have difficulty with small screen sized phones or those who mainly play games and watch movies. However, if the specs on the Xperia 1 are true then I will definitely be purchasing it. All this phone needs to have is at least the specs of the Sony Xperia XZ3 or Galaxy S10. So far this seems like it will happen next December which makes me excited. Otherwise 4/5 stars. Keep going Sony. Update... July 12th release for US.

Edit. If you want the most juice out of the 10 plus get the 6gb version its a dual sim but you will get the premium specs.

Will be returning. Ok phone. No remote play support

Model Name: Xperia 10 PlusColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Just got it a few hours ago, writing this review from my Galaxy 8 and will be returning the Xperia shortly. Honestly, it's not a bad phone but it's not a great one either.. and for the price I expected it to be a little better considering the competition in the same price range. Using it after having a s8 for 2 years felt like a downgrade especially the screen resolution and color saturation (LCD vs AMOLED). Also One UI just feels more intuitive and advanced, but that's my preference. Watching a video on this thing was really nice tho, the screen aspect ratio did make for a great viewing experience.

Camera is not good. Telefoto 2x zoom was cool, but overall I expected alot more from a Sony camera considering they make great cameras. I know it's a mid-range phone but 4k video is one of the selling points of this phone.

My biggest disappointment was finding out that Sony does not even enable PS4 remote play on this phone. The only reason I even considered a Sony phone was to use it for remote play with my PS4 .. but I guess Sony only enables remote play for their "flagship" phones (i.e fork over $1,000 or you're S.O.L). That to me is just greed, as I see no reason they can't enable this feature for their mid-range phones. I get why they wouldn't allow other Android phones to do so (even though they allow iOS users to) but come on...

Anyway will be returning this phone.
