Sony Xperia 10 ii | Unboxing & Full Tour By Tech Spurt

So, alongside the mighty, but also, admittedly, rather pricey Xperia 1, mark 2 flagship phone Sony Mobile has also just released a more affordable alternative that, hopefully won't have you scrambling down the back of the sofa for loose change. This bad boy right here is the Xperia 10 mark 2 a proper upgrade of a last year's mid-range mobile and in fact, the Xperia 10 mocks, who actually boss a surprising number of those super premium, features portlet down from the Xperia war, Mach 2 flagship smartphone, but for that much cheaper, asking price. Just three hundred and twenty quid here in the UK to be precise. So that's enough waffle. Let's get this thing. Yanked out of the box, take a full-on tour of all that hardware and the software, the camera tech.

Everything else you need to know ahead of my in-depth review and from one of the latest greatest actives with bug subscribe, ending that notifications bell Cheers. So, let's see what we get in the box, we get the phone itself which I'll just stick aside for now you get your Quick Start, Guide shenanigans, all that good stuff, but if 3-pin Yakima, adapter action, of course, with pop-out knobbly bit, you've got your highly exciting type-c, USB cable, and you got the two pair of branded earphones as well as all they're the hard shell type. No silicone tips or anything so yeah they'll probably be proper ear scrapers, but they are actually three point, five mil, which is great because we do actually have a headphone jack here on the Xperia 10 Mach 2, just like the flagship all right. So that's the Box done with now. Let's have a good old squint and the actual Xperia mark 2 itself and like the original Xperia 10 from 2019, it is once again a 6-inch beast and of course, you get Sony's a brilliant 21 by 9 design as well.

So it is a proper sausage phone and because it's just 6 inches instead of the 6.5 inch flagship phone, it's even more comfortable to Clutch helped along by that love the rounded corners and edges that you've got here as well and the Xperia Tampa. So its crazy light as well. It was just a hundred and fifty-one grams making it actually one of the lightest smartphones, I, think I've wielded in 2020 and as well as that slick 21 by 9 finished. Some of the other best bits of the design of the exterior wall. Mark 2 flagship have also filtered down to the 10 series, including a Gorilla Glass 6 plate in both front and back to hopefully make it super durable, and also you got full ip68 water and dust resistance on this bad boy as well, and that is certainly a feature that you'll really struggle to find at this or a price point like outside the iPhone SE 2020, and maybe you can find an Android flagship from about two or three years ago.

That's now been reduced to around 300 pounds. You'll really struggle. So, basically, if you're a bit of a backhanded klutz, you don't have much cash in the bank. It looks like the Sony, Xperia 10 log 2 might well be your next phone. That's for the color as well.

The Xperia 10 Mach 2 is available in either black or white. Such an exciting range that I feel my trousers may explode it with joy, though. That said good luck. Finding this thing in white here in the UK, because Sony's official website and all the networks that I checked or to Vodafone etc. only seem to stock it in black.

Thankfully, it's a very small black, just like the Xperia one mark, 2, definitely very fetching indeed, and so far touch wood seems, do a reasonable job of hiding the scuffle greasy prints. Although when it catches the light just saw, it does look a bit of a state pretty standard stuff for a glass, smartphone of course right. So we've got some juice in the tank. So let's get the Xperia tin, Mach 2 all set up, and then we'll take a tour of the rest of the specs. Now, when you slip your sim inside the Xperia 10 mach 2, you'll notice that there's just space for a single sim card in there's no dual sim support.

Unfortunately, we do have a slot for a micro SD memory card up to one terabyte in size to boost the 128 gigs of on-board storage. All right ease, the Xperia 10 Mach 2 is all set up and all ready for action. Apologies! If you see sweat, dripping off my face onto the screen. It's about 40 degrees in the studio today, I really need to get some air con or something now, first up when you want to actually unlock the Xperia 10 walk to it's once again, an edge amounted fingerprint sensor here on the side just like, but the flagship, and once again it is actually built into that power button, not that you actually have to press in order to work the sensor just tough, digit, and you're in CI so far, and that seems to work absolutely fine. Unfortunately, like the Xperia one wait, there's absolutely no face unlock here on the 10 mark to its fingerprint or basically usual, pin, etc.

Not even the smart lock has that face unlock feature because, let's face it, the Android Pearson lock was a bit CAC and, of course, it's full fat Android 10 here with dock more to Google. All of those features that you know and love included, and thankfully full on gesture navigation as well as seeing ditch that silly nav bar and just go on with the usual Android 10 swipe controls and, of course, you've got a huge selection of different theme in a bit of a bit of wallpaper action to choose from including some nature-inspired stuff by the looks of it. But of course, as usual, I'm going to stick with my geeky and my efforts, and it's really pleased to see that pretty much all the software features fun on the Xperia 1 Mach 2 flagship have translated over to the Xperia 10 Mach 2 as well, including Sony classics like that side, tones which wasn't really fun of originally, but it has evolved it's more useful than ever before. You got the likes, the 100 more. Of course, you can actually assign gestures, just sliding your thumb up and down that size.

Sense bar as well, including going into that one-handed multi, don't even have to open up the menu and thank God. Yes, you can't pull down that notifications bar from anywhere on screen, so it's actually fairly easy to use one-handed despite the incredible length, I've got into quite some detail about all those software features that I know and love from the Xperia 1 mark 2 in my fault, in depth, tips and tricks guide, which were not just a couple of days ago, so check that out for a closer look at the software here on the 10 mark, 2, and they've got to say soft form. Definitely a fan of the Xperia 10 mark to his screen as well. It sort of four cameras panel, like econ the flagship, obviously at this oil price point, but is a six inch. OLED display Full HD resolution, everything's, looking nice and crisp so far, and as you can see, the bezels are sort of fairly skinny, even though they're a bit bulkier than they were on that flagship.

In fact, if you're interested there's the Xperia 10 Mach 2 and the warm walk to side-by-side so as you can see, slightly skinnier bezels on the one, but really they're, not much fatter at all on the mid-range err. So as you kind of halt, because this is an OLED panel- you get those gorgeous punchy, colors, really shining through absolutely exploding off the display gorgeous like handy stuff contrast levels are nice and sharp is where you get those nice deep, blacks. Those nice bright, crisp, white and video out certainly looks great thanks to that full HD plus resolution, of course, nor not intruding on the display either. You've got a gorgeous full view finish to begin with excellent stuff, of course, whereas the flagship offers pretty in depth display customization it's a bit more scaled back as you'd expect you're an experienced in Mach 2. So, as you can see you in standard Morty, you can also switch back to original more just changes, the sort of the colour-pop Enos the saturation levels.

The temperature you've also got some manual control over the white bounds, but it can, it's a bit more limited. You can't exactly get those really natural-looking pair buttons or anything like that. All those speakers go as well we're actually only a mono speaker setup here on the Xperia 10 mark to roll and a full-on stereo speaker setup, but the good news is it's not actually a bottom firing, blaster like it quite often is on these mid-range mobiles. I, actually built it into this very edge here. So, even if you sort of clutching the phone at the sides, that audio is still Cummins, you full force, and you're not going to accidentally muffle it.

So it's just check it out most impressive on that top volume level. But the good news is, if you actually dive into the sound set. You've got pretty much the full range of audio chops here on the Xperia 10 Mach 2, as you did on the flagship. So you once again got support for high-res audio on here. You've got Saudis on digital, sound enhancement engine which basically makes those crappy sounds a mp3 is just brings them to life.

A bit makes them sound a bit more full-bodied. Of course, you've got that 3.5 mm headphone jack. If you want to get a wide connection on the go, otherwise, if you want to use a bit of Bluetooth good news, is you've got Sony's L DAC support on there. You got apex HD and everything as well, so it should be a really strong, wire-free. Listening experience too now for the performance packed into the Xperia 10a mark ?, you get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, backed by 4 gigs of RAM, so basically the same setup as the Moto G.

It plus the Redmi Note 8 series quite a few: this sort of mid-range ? budget e mobiles for any benchmark enthusiasts, who come with for the full review. That's the benchmark, Geek bench 5 scores single core and multicore again very similar output to the likes of the Moto G at plus. In fact, ii. Think the multi-core score is a little better there, but I will be using the Xperia ten mark 2 as my full-time personal handset, ahead of my in-depth review, so I'll, let you know how the everyday performance is and what it is like for gaming, good news if you've got a PlayStation as well, because you've got full support for that PlayStation 4 remote play, so you can access your PlayStation over your Wi-Fi network and get gaming on the bog in beds. Wherever you roam about your household, unfortunately, you don't seem to have at the game enhancer app here on the Xperia 10 market here, which was a perfect addition on the Xperia 1 mark ? I did a bunch of great features like notifications block, and you could record your game in session all that sort of shenanigans I'm guessing, maybe just can't handle it because of the performance limitations.

Here now, let's chat about the battery, and it's a 3600 William cell here in the Xperia 10 marketers are hopeful. You should keep you going all day, especially the lot fairly energy-efficient, snapdragon 665 chipsets on board, as well usual battery. Cable adaptive charge, and so hopefully again over the long term, you won't get any battery damage but of course, I'll be bringing you for all verdict on the battery life, with my in-depth Xperia T more to a review, all of which fun and games brings us on at nicely too, that camera tech and what you get here is actually very similar triple lens setup to the Opera. One mark ?, just ?, that time-of-flight lens as we've got, is a 12 megapixel primary lens once again, but then, when it comes to the ultra-wide angle and the telephoto lenses, they've been pared back from 12 megapixels to 8, megapixels, okay, everyone say hello to Rimbaud, lucky unicorn or gal amorous model for today's photo shoot and the bottle launching up the camera up. You can see it's actually very similar to the flagship camera app that you get as well.

The main difference seems to be that, instead of having three separate icons for toggling between the three different lenses, it's a tap to cycle affair instead, which was on quite prayer like so much I, definitely prefer the three separate icons. That said, you can simply hold it and slide your finger up and down if you want to sort of skip between them all that way. So here's Alan that song is auto mode, can capture some great looking for tours here on Xperia 10 Mach 2, your manual controls are unfortunately, very limited. You can play around with the color temperature and the brightness levels, and that is basically if you don't get the photo pro mode like you get on the flagship. Sadly, but you do get a bit of booked board action once again.

So again you can get that nice blurry background effect on the go really highlights at your subject. You've got a limited selection of bonus modes as well. Just like on the Xperia 1 walk -. You will not suffer for the addition of a night mode that wasn't actually available on the Xperia 1 walk -. It just saw entered night mode automatically as a way, whereas here you have to manually, select it and then, when you hit that shutter button, as you can see, they'll capture lots of different exposure, shots and then sort of meld them together.

For, hopefully, an attractive look and results so, as you can see there, obviously these on testing light conditions, but it has helped to brighten up the background a little or well, of course, again be fairly testing this out actually at night, and if you want to get your zoom on well, it's actually a 52 millimeter telephoto lens here on the Xperia 10 Mach 2 unsurprising can't quite match the excellent 70 millimeter focal length on the Xperia one Mach 2, but hopefully should still capture some good, looking crisp shots even from a distance, and if you zoom right in using a bit of digital smarts as well, hopefully again, it will provide some nice crisp results. Just like the flagship. As for your video, you can swap sides just with a quick tap. Then you can shoot up to 4k resolution footage, as you can see, Full HD by default. Viewing do 4k and either 16 by 9 ratio or 21 by 9 like gorgeous cinematic finish, and if we do the old switcheroo ? that front-facing selfie camera as well I believe it's once again, megapixel effort, just like the Xperia one mark to the specs, are buried away.

Em you log in correctly and I, wasn't massively impressed with the flagship, selfie cam to be honest, or I'm, not exactly expecting one desire. This one was quite soft, quite easy to get overexposed results, but again I'll test it out. You never know, might get better results on this randomly and sweet baby Jesus. How have I got this knack of just capturing so gorgeous selfies during all my unboxing videos, I mean that is another classic right there and there you have it. That, in a nutshell, is the fresh new Xperia T mark to a mid-range more about from Sony, and I've got to see if the 320 quid.

This thing already seems to offer incredible value for money. If you saw them that haul 21 by nine gorgeous Sony designed the general Sony ecosystem bit that remotely functionality. All of that kind of shenanigans and, of course, you've got those great features like the waterproofing as well. The gorgeous all led to split certainly seems to be pretty feature packed, so be great to hear what you think down in the comments below, as I said, stay tuned for my in-depth review of this bad boy after I've used as my personal handset for a good few days, but he got a feel for it and for more the latest greatest tech. Please do put subscribe, ending that notifications well Jess.
