Sony Xperia 10 Plus review

Source: Sony Xperia 10 Plus review

introduction

The 10 Plus, along with the smaller 10, are the first two phones that will try to sell you a 21:9 screen. Sony might want you to believe that the flagship Xperia 1 is the true ambassador of the insanely large aspect, but that’s months away and the 10s are here now.

This year, the Xperia 1 sits at the top of Sony’s smartphone range, with the Xperia 10 and 10 Plus ranking below. It’s the Xperia 10 Plus we’re going to focus on now – the midranger to replace yesterday’s XA2 Plus/Ultra.

So the Xperia 10 Plus has a 6.5-inch, 1080 x 2520 display on it – we’ve seen big ones but not that high. The other parts aren’t that flashy – we’d even call them ordinary. The Snapdragon 636 chip is often seen in this segment, albeit perhaps on the low end – a 710 wouldn’t have been out of place on the 10 Plus. Battery capacity is also on the low side of average, but the RAM and storage numbers are about right, and the number of cameras is reasonable, and the configuration is even more so – there’s a telephoto secondary on the back, as opposed to a plain one depth sensor.

Let’s put off marveling at the phone’s unusual proportions and say a few words about what’s to come in the box.

Unboxing of the Sony Xperia 10 Plus

As far as we can tell. We got a box, so technically it’s an unboxing, although this isn’t strictly retail content, even if the box itself is final. All we got was a basic charger (5V/1.5A) and a USB A-to-C cable.

However, the Xperia 10 Plus supports Power Delivery, and Sony now makes a PD charger (which wasn’t the case when the PD-enabled XZ3 was launched), so it could also be included in the box. We’ve also seen bundles with headsets. As is usual with Sony phones, the contents of the retail box vary by market and even carrier, so it’s worth checking with them beforehand.
