Sony Xperia 10 II Review

If you want a phone that looks like a flagship but doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, the $400 Sony Xperia 10 II (read it as Xperia 10 Mark Two) is a great new option. It features a distinct, tall and narrow body that you can easily hold in one hand, it is very lightweight, it's water-protected, has a headphone jack and now, also comes with a beautiful AMOLED screen.

I bought this phone a few days ago and love it, who cares if there are better and more expensive phones out there. How come not a single reviewer mentions the notification LED in the top right corner, most of the expensive phones don't even have it because they have to stretch the screen and put stupid notches and holes in it. I always liked the Xperia phones but could not afford them, now I could with this great and midrange phone. But it sure is slippery :-) ordered some cases for it and look forward to using it the next years. My Note Edge was a great phone as well, used it for more than 4 or 5 years. Who knows maybe I will make a review myself :-)

It's a pretty good phone for its price. Good looking design, water resistant, triple camera, and an OLED screen 👍👍👍👍👍

I bought the dual SIM version two weeks ago. You can use either 2 SIMs or 1SIM and an SD card. I would prefer to have a plastic back, glass seems a dumb choice for an object likely to be dropped regardless of how tough it is claimed to be. I really like the phone, bear in mind I don't use a camera ever and don't run demanding apps or games so I don't need the faster chip of the 5ii, it would be wasted on me and I get to save over £400. I have Bluetooth on all day playing music and YouTube content and use it as a WiFi hotspot for a couple hours and still have a bit if power left last thing at night. For some reason I recently became a fan of all things Sony, I'm using their wireless headphones with the phone and they integrate really well. I like the low key styling of Sony products. I also like that this phone is not made in China, this is one of the reasons I bought it.

The decent all around Xperia mid-range is finally back.
The first 10 was lacking, but this Mk II is great.

[tanvirmahabub]

With the price tag of 400$, this is definitely a great mid-ranger.

[ruhalfoyls]

got mine for 270€ super happy with it. and after a few days use i have no issues with it.

Please sony bring back phones atleast on order basis 🙏 for 🇮🇳 sony lovers.

Pls phone manufiacturers, make more compact phones as good as this, and make it available to more places like india. Pretty sure that sony wont bring this to india.

[nazafisahrom]

Perfect design but lack of power. It should come with sd765/sd730g then this phone will be the best midrange to have.

[vaibhavdewani]

This is the android phone we all wanted

[victoraghaebita]

I have two questions
1) Does the phone have a case yet?
2) How tall are you?

[Jiren]

Sony is the only company who understands that WE want 3.5mm headphone jack and we don't want any notches or cut holes 👏🏼

[abhishekjain]

Hoping they make a comeback in India soon

i own the xperia 10 plus, which is an impressive and premium device (as every sony device), but my main issue with mine is the absolutely terrible fingerprint sensor, is incredible bad, considering i owned the xperia xz which in my opinion had the best fingerprint reader, super fast and never failed me once, but on the xperia 10 plus, no matter how much i clean the phone, my fingers or create multiple fingerprints for the device to read, it just doesn't detects my fingers, i'm hoping the xperia 10 mk 2 fixes this issue

[kylesousa]

We need more midrange devices and we need to advocate for refurbished electronics. New high end phones are reaching 2 grand, and a phone like this checks all the boxes for most people and looks good

[robocopvn]

Why always super low spec CPU in mid-range phone, Sony? I don't demand a 720G or 765G. Just wish we have a 675 here! much better than 665 for not much more money!

[nothinginteresting]

finally!!! a phone with semantic bazel!

[swewolf]

Is this phone better than xperia xz1 compact?

[princez.]

Any idea if this is gonna release in the US anytime?

Edit, oh nevermind, now I know.

[XxshonenxX]

The oled screen + 1080p + 3600k battery might mean good battery life. Usa release?
