The Xperia 10 II is — exactly what you’d expect from a company that makes some of the best televisions out there. The pixel density of 457ppi and aluminum for the mid-frame and Gorilla Glass 6 on both the front and the back. And it’s glass of the glossy kind, aka the kind that picks up fingerprint smudges extremely easily. And an IP65/68 rating means it’s resistant to water and dust too.
In back, there’s a vertical pod in the top left corner containing the three camera: one 12MP camera and two 8MP camera. An LED flash is mounted above this pod. Rounding up the rear are Sony and Xperia logos (middle and bottom).
All buttons are on the right hand side: the fingerprint scanner is built in the power key in the middle, the volume keys are above it and lack of the dedicated camera shutter key. I would love the camera shutter camera button.
3.5mm headphone jack at the top with microphone.
The Xperia 10 II only has a single loudspeaker. It is positioned in the grill, in the bottom chin, below the display. The loudspeaker itself isn’t overly impressive either. There is a USB-C port and a microphone on the bottom. The Type-C port supporting USB 2.0 speed and fast charging at 18W.
All of this is IP65/68 certified, and the SIM card tray is combined with a microSD card slot for removable storage. Overall, this design is super clean, understated, and absolutely premium. The black glass is really gorgeous!
With the ratio of 21:0 wide display, Sony also included a shortcut icon for you to enable split screen for displaying two apps on one screen and it’s perfect for multi-tasking.
The phone has a triple-camera array, housed in a bump which juts out slightly from the rear of the phone: Wide (main): 12MP, 1/2.8″ sensor, 26mm equiv. focal length, f/2.0 aperture, Dual Pixel PDAF. Telephoto: 8MP, 1/4″, 52mm (2x), f/2.4, PDAF. Ultra wide angle: 8MP, 1/4″, 16mm, f/2.2. The camera didn’t come with OIS (optical image stabilization)
Daylight Photo and video Performance
Video remark: During our walkabout and we tested disable Electronic Image Stabilization “EIS”, while capture the video on 4K recording is much smoother. However, the 1080P 30frame with enable EIS seem working fine.
