Sony got it so wrong | Sony Xperia 10 II review By SoyaCincau

Now before you say that I'm a salty Sony hater, let me just tell you up front that I'm not. This, for example, is amazing, like I love it, and this is incredible and this, but this the Sony Xperia 10 mark ii, so it has been quite a while, since I've seen a smartphone, this doomed on arrival seriously. Look at the first thing: everyone compares the on paper specs at its core. The phone is powered by a snapdragon, 665 processors, 4, gigs of ram and 128 gigs of expandable storage. Sure the expandable element is good, but those specifications just feel way too dated for a 2020 android smartphone in the premium mid-range category. At first, I thought.

Okay, maybe this phone is better than the sum of its parts, but if we're talking about performance, that's definitely not the case. This phone is slow even with the light stock android, which I adore. I was not able to get over how sluggish the phone felt apps take longer than necessary to launch and if you're planning on doing any multitasking you're not in for a fun time, and it's not just because this phone has a standard 60hz display either. In fact, I'd say that the 6-inch full HD plus OLED panel is one of the few good things about this smartphone. It's crisp, contrast and vibrant.

All things I like in a smartphone screen. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the 21 by 9 aspect ratio, because I think that it's a bit too tall, but the screen itself is nice, so I'll mark it down as a positive. The build, however, is a very different story: yeah, it uses gorilla, glass, 6 on the front and back and that's sweet, but the frame is made from this material that feels like well, it kind of feels like cheap my vi plastic, coupled with the low weight. This body ends up feeling way cheaper than it probably cost to make, especially since Sony took the time to give it full ip68 water and dust resistance. This, by the way, I will give them full marks for because at this price point it's like basically impossible to find a smartphone with full ip68 dust and water resistance.

So I definitely appreciate it I'm guessing. The reason for the phone's lightness is that it has a pretty tiny battery. It's only 3600 William hours, which has become an anomaly in a world full of 000 plus William hour handsets, so I was expecting bad battery life, but I was surprised at how long this phone lasted on a single charge. I got around five hours of screen on time with over 12 hours of time on battery now, of course, that's not phenomenal or class leading in any way, but it's probably good enough for most so far. Besides the okay battery the awesome screen the awesome stock, android and also ip68 dust and water resistance, I really didn't find any other redeeming features about this smartphone.

I guess the nice thing is that it does have a three and a half millimeter headphone jack, but the trade-off appears to be that the speaker is awful, like it lives in this tiny slot over here, and the sound quality is atrocious, but the thing that very nearly drove me up the wall with this smartphone was the camera first off. It takes way too long to launch the camera app and get it ready to take a photo. This would have been unacceptable in a 900 ringgit smartphone, so it's definitely unacceptable in a device that costs twice as much as there's the autofocusing system, which I can only generously describe as sluggish it hunts a lot. It takes a long time to acquire focus even in good lighting and when the going gets dark. Like you know, I wouldn't even bother finally, there's the image quality and well for the most part it looks like it was taken by some sub 1000 ringgit smartphones.

That means the shots in daylight are serviceable, though I'm not particularly impressed with the dynamic range. However, once the going gets dark, you know everything just falls apart again, images are very noisy yet. I can also tell that there is a lot of noise reduction going on. Not a lot of detail has been preserved and the colors in both daylight and night shots are very underwhelming. I guess I should have figured that the Xperia 10 mark ii wasn't gonna, be like a big camera smartphone for Sony, because I mean they didn't even put like their signature dedicated camera button on this device.

By now, you've probably heard me reference the price like a bunch of times already, but I haven't actually told you how much it costs well, there's no easy way to say this, because the Sony Xperia 10 mark ii, it retails for 1799 ringgit, despite all the problems of that lackluster performance and the sub-par camera experience, or maybe it's because of them. This price tag is probably the most egregious thing. Sony has done to the Sony, Xperia 10 mark ii for 1799 ringgit. There are just so many better options out there. There's the OnePlus word, a discounted Poco f2 pro the Poco x3 NFC and if you're lucky a discounted me 10.

, plus there's the mi 10 t-series, which has just launched, which also outpaces this Xperia 10 mark ii. The only thing that it really has up its sleeve over the other phones is the ip68 dust and water resistance. But is that really enough for you to put up with everything else that this phone falls short in? Not for me maybe someone out there can tell me why this smartphone is worth its frankly absurd price tag, but after spending a whole month with the device like, I just cannot justify recommending it, but that's it for this video. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed it.
