Sony Xperia 10 & 10+ Hands-On at MWC 2019: Super tall phones

Sony's new Xperia 10 and 10+ phones come with a surprising 21:9 ratio, making them super long. While it takes some getting used to, the extra screen real estate is surprisingly useful. Not only does it fit certain videos better, but multitasking makes a lot more sense, as the top and bottom of the screen can be slit into two nearly perfect squares. Now, if they only shipped with better processors...

The duck!!! So xperia 10 and 10 plus are midrangers whereas xperia 1 is flagahip
Hats off to Sony's naming scheme

The best part is its screen, its pretty practical. While other phones need to hide notch or punch hole with black bars when watching widescreen movies, this one fully removes the top and bottom black bars on it due to its aspect ratio. in my opinion.

This screen size is what the foldables should be in phone mode then fold it out to a proper tablet dimension

Sony wants to do something different and ridiculosly good. And they did something ridiculous and different 👏👏

[shamscorner]

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube all have a long recycler view news feed. That's why I love tall phones.

Always phone Reviewer's portray sony phones to be wired but on day to day usage Sony phones are the best, trust me buy the phone yourself and you will never regret

Sony: Every one is moving on to the new aspect ratio, what should we do?

Employ 1: we should probably reduce the horrendous bezels for a shitty 5 MP camera and make it one hand use.

Employ 2: Make it a stairway to heaven.

Sony: GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE.

[maximua]

why is it called 21:9 screen and not 7:3?

[HoldMeForever]

They died to me the moment the stopped caring about battery life and removed the headphone jack.

[chamundeshwariprakash]

sony just reduce the bezels and we'll all buy it!

[electricmiragemedia]

More battery is the major need, imo. Under 3000mah has seemed paltry since 2015

[Just-Michael]

Yeah I was looking forward to what Sony had to offer this year but the fact that they went all in with these huge 21:9 screens ain't gonna do it for me. I'm the type with the small hands and I think 5.2" is a bit of a stretch to reach the top of the screen. It's fine for this thing to exist for enthusiasts but completely alienating customers isn't exactly an approach I would take. If the Sony 1 was available in a 16:9 or even 18:9 configuration I'd consider it, but like this it's just not realistic for regular users.

This is exactly what I wanted last year no notch and chin on the top.

He is definitely a Samsung Fanboi. He sounded like he even doesn't want to review it. I'm a Sony Fangirl though.

What Sony is good at?
It's battery life.

[KaranSingh-jifu]
