Product Overview

Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Xperia 10 III is one of the most compact devices you can find in the midrange. It has full IP65/IP68 water protection and is also the best-in-class sealing in class. The tele camera does have the same off colors that it exhibits in stills. Video stabilization is available in all modes.
Pros
- Excellent build quality
- Good battery life
- Good performance
Cons
- No IP65/68 water resistance
- No stereo speakers

Reviewer score 63% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Sony Xperia 10 III is a powerful mid-range smartphone that shows some weaknesses in the cameras. The upgrade to UFS storage was overdue but increases the overall impression significantly. In addition, there is a long battery life and an audio port, which is not a given anymore and carries the label of High-Res audio with some good justification.
Pros
- Fast UFS 2.1 storage
- Long battery life
- Good camera performance
- Fast Wi-Fi
Cons
- No 5G
- Slow WLAN
- Weak charger

Reviewer score 45% (normalized by Neofiliac)Sony has given the Xperia 10 III a considerable speed boost over last year’s Xperia 10 II. It has a newer Snapdragon 690 5G chip and a 50% increase in RAM to 6GB. Selfies from the 8MP front camera are a little on the soft side, and tend to struggle with HDR implementation. The phone is capable of 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps.
Pros
- Bigger, brighter 60Hz display
- Good battery life
- 5G connectivity
Cons
- No OIS
- No wireless charging
