Sony Xperia 10 Plus Review | This is the one
Ғылым және технология
When we reviewed Sony's new Xperia 10 smartphone, we liked it a lot, but a handful of flaws make it a difficult recommendation over the Moto G7 Plus. However, these issues are pretty much blown away by the Sony Xperia 10 Plus - it's not just bigger, it's definitely better. And one of the best mid-range mobiles you can buy in 2019.
This Plus model boasts a very similar design and setup to the standard Sony smartphone, with that original 21:9 elongated finish. The FHD+ screen has upgraded in size to 6.5-inches, while the specs have also grown. Performance is boosted necessarily with the fresher Snapdragon 636 chipset, so everyday running is speedier - although you'll still need to play PubG Mobile on low detail levels for a smooth frame rate.
The Xperia 10 Plus also boasts more impressive camera tech, with a telephoto lens on board for 2x optical zoom. Check out my direct camera comparison with the original Sony phone here:
• Sony Xperia 10 vs 10 P...
Battery life is also improved, despite the small increment in cell size. That's most likely down to the energy efficiency of the Snapdragon platform.
Check out my full Sony Xperia 10 Plus unboxing and camera review here on Recombu, and let us know what you think of this mid-ranger below!

One drawback in xperia phones is that you can't find a lot of cases and accessories for it. The good case makers doesn't even make case for xperia.

Amazing to see how far Chris has come. I love his Tech Spurt channel. He's so funny and fair in his reviews.
Great review as usual man! That qnovo smart charge is a game changer that people who use competitors just dont understand. Overall this makes me excited for the new form factor of the xperia 1. I will be waiting for their 5g model either later this year or next year from my xz premium
Great review! These are all sold out at Best Buy in store. Just ordered my Silver one and will arrive next week. Can't wait, coming from my xa2 ultra, which I will still keep for home use 👍😁
As usual you're the only one that is not bias on reviewing xperia smartphones! thumbs up ;) amazing videos as always.

I'm going to be getting this phone. but in all the reviews I've not seen any Info on the music player. no coverage. would you please review that specifically for me by chance?
Absolutely love this 21:9 ratio. But why Sony have you made us small handed people hate the fact you dropped a XA2 spec in the 6 inch Xperia 10 and give the 6.5 inch Plus size model (for just 50 quid more) an upgraded processor, extra RAM and a bigger screen? Obviously the profit margin sinks its teeth into the 10 model and given no compact model is coming for the Xperia 1 ask you WHYYYYYYYY!
@jiminybillybob9751

Danny Cliff Yes, the XA2 had only 3GB of RAM compared to the XA2 Ultra and consequently had pretty poor RAM management. I don’t understand either why Sony hobble the smaller models. The £50 difference should just be for the different size, not a whole different experience and different specs. Still tempted by the 10 Plus when the price inevitably drops though.
Is the X Peria 1 camera gonna be that good ?
I currently have a Xperia XZ, i'm looking for a upgrade and it seems the Xperia 1 will not be coming to my country. Will this phone be a downgrade or not?
Is this the same size as the xperia z ultra? I kept that phone because of the size of the screen and thinness. I still use it mostly for watching saved movies that I converted from my dvd or bluray collections, netflix and KZread and also as a backup phone
Where is the dedicated camera button 😕
Is there an always on display

So the main question that NO ONE ever says anything about this phone is.. does it have MANUAL camera settings? Because that is actually a game changer if it does. Forget how beautiful one picture is compared to another-- it's all software tuned. Software like photoshop express or third party video editing apps you can use for personal grading preference. Sony makes all the sensors for most smart phones, so if you have the SONY camera sensor on a "SONY" phone, shouldn't you have the best quality non-graded images/videos from this phone? I've been really interested to buy this phone for a couple weeks now but cannot find an answer to that question.

@@Rock2005Star From hands-on videos I've watched, when you put your finger onto the sensor, you would wake up and unlock the phone, no swiping needed. But if you click the power button, then you just wake up the phone without unlocking. I personally think this make sense: sometimes you want to unlock and get straight into work at once using fingerprint, and sometimes you just want to check time or notifications.

Those Galaxies are flagships, so they're both better than the midranger xperia 10 plus. The Sony has a smaller battery yet it can last about 13 hours straight, is more affordable and I've seen it perform pretty fast against an s10 plus.
Is 330€ too much for this phone?
Bought xperia 10 plus in May 2019 and after 2 months rear camera doesn't work. When I try to open camera application says; Error : cannot start camera. Restart camera or device. Tried several times but not successful. Seems others have same problem when I searched on internet, but no one had any solution. Its a shame to spend over €300 on a Sony xperia 10 plus that fails just after 2 months.
