Welcome to a new Techview VLog about the Xperia 10 Mark 2 first test reports and reviews have been published in Japan and I have looked at the whole thing and would like to present it to you in a small short compact form I have here my Xperia 10 plus device that is so the Spiritual predecessors I would say spiritual for the reason that this one has 6.5 inches and the new Xperia 10 Mark II cpmes only in a 6 inch version. therefore smaller, and a bit more compact The Xperia 10 II comes with headphones these are mh410c headphones these are headphones which are not pushed into the ear into the auditory canal but only onto the Ear So a slightly cheaper option I would say I would have preferred rather the Mh-750 here A triple camera system is available on the back with the standard main camera 12 megapixel and a tele camera with 8 megapixels and an ultra wide angle camera with 8 megapixels So a triple camera system that is for the price range surely also quite decent, but the sensors are a bit smaller than the Xperia 1 or the Xperia 5 Accordingly, one can probably expect a worse quality especially with low light.151 g the whole thing is heavy so it's quite a flyweight Snapdragon 665 with 4 Gigabyte memory is delivered 151 g the whole thing is heavy so it's quite a flyweight Snapdragon 665 with 4 Gigabyte memory is delivered It's a pity, I would have expected a little more bang 710 730 would certainly be much better and at least a variant with 6GB memory would have been also possible for a perfect mid-range smartphone Which is pretty perfect. Speaking of perfect Is the display. A 6 inch compact Full HD Plus display without notch in 21 :9 apsect ratio with the typical display edges at the top and bottom but this time symmetrically arranged unlike the Xperia 10 and the 10 plus Protected with Gorilla Glass 6 and OLED. This is not normal for the middle class, let's say. and it probably seems to be a pretty similar panel to the Xperia 5 or the Xperia 1 where the Xperia 5 also comes with 6 inch and the Xperia 1 with 6.5 inches, thus the Xperia 5, it is a bit more similar in the color representation and reproduction and brightness it comes very close to the Xperia 5 the top class model from Sony and that's also good for the middle class Is this one of the best displays the testers have seen so far Unfortunately, however, the following is missing Creator mode for the color calibration Sony has only included it in the Xperia 1 and 5 and thus makes the color adjustment possible in such a way that is intended by the author, the creator especially for example for feature films and for videos surely quite well suitable It lies with 6 inches very compact in the hand and with the frame of the case kept in matte it should also not slip away They tried a little something with a high-gloss finish on the back Unfortunately only plastic, which is a little bit more valuable compared to the Xperia 10/10+ which has a matt surface But I prefer this matt surface with a plastic case I have to be honest You have to try a little bit of something so it looks a little better but it feels Probably no better to hold in your hand The housing is now certified for IP65/68 with integrated water and dust protection That means you can take pictures with it even in the rain Or if you Want to go on safari Or the Sahara Dust dry that doesn't cause any problems either Let's eat up the antutu benchmark values 173 000 to About 175,000, depending on what test you're looking at And you know benchmark values can always fluctuate a little reaches the smartphone For comparison the pixel 3 a Has about 184 000 points with the Snapdragon 670 That means they are a bit stronger in the Google Pixel series Here's a little bit of what I'm saying that shows the weaker processor I would have wished for a stronger one but it is not a dramatically bad value for the middle class That's just the middle What does the performance look like with this processor? More fluid than with the Xperia 10 or the Xperia 10 Plus because here to be honest only the 10+ had a really reasonable processor Gaming with PUPG is possible only in the medium settings there you can choose between performance or fluid and balanced but you have no possibility to switch to HD This cannot be adjusted. So it is not a real game Smartphone who wants to play with it and is a player he's not gonna enjoy this.
But for casual games quite sufficient Consuming media is quite nice that works without any problems 6 inch Full HD Display OLED One of the best displays In this price range anyway then it makes That of course also makes sense that there is also a Widewine Level 1 so you can watch Netflix in Full HD What's missing is the icing on the cake of the whole story Would still be HDR support which is unfortunately missing but there is also Vp9 and AVCHD decoding support in Netflix As with the Xperia 1 II, the fingerprint sensor is also new here, which means that a power button with fingerprint sensor has been installed and It's not as shiny as this one. It's not as shiny as this one. in recognition that means it will be a much better fingerprint sensor Maybe it won't be able to keep up with the Honor or Huawei fingerprint sensor sensors on the site but certainly with the Samsung In Display fingerprint scanners The A51, for example, may well There is a mono speaker on the Front down That's a bit Strange because normally we know this from the Xperia 10 and the 10 plus is the one that is attached below On the lower edge and fires downwards. No with the Xperia 10 Mark II it fires forward from the bottom And there's a small notch where it fires forward so it looks a little bit like the Xperia 1 Mark II that has one of those forward firing lower speakers But they also have another one on the top. Unfortunately this is not available with the Xperia 10 Mark II As far as the volume is concerned, it's quite ok when it comes to bass, it's just missing a little bit.
So a typical middle class device where the sound is not the very best I would say but also not super bad The internal memory is not very fast with 300 MB per second about plus minus it reaches in sequential reads And that's a little bit slow compared to the Xperia 1 I'm recording here that does it Slightly more than twice as much, so about 700 MB per second in sequential read As far as writing is concerned there is basically nothing different to the Xperia 10 or 10 plus that is significant So it's a little slow but for the middle class it's still ok All in all the Snapdragon 665 makes a good impression And a clear step forward if you compare that with the Xperia 10 or 10 plus There the performance was just something yes something to criticize With the Xperia 10 Mark II I would like a slightly faster processor But the slower processor makes for a better batterylife That is why I can live with it and I can also imagine that for let's say 2-3 years this processor will still be sufficient maybe not for the very latest games but for normal work, most things run smoothly Camera This is really an important topic there you have interestingly enough the same app Probably like the predecessor or like the Xperia 1 at least the first screenshots of it and the first testers show This is not the same app that has the Xperia 1 Mark II has Makes me wonder Sony, what's the point? Why not make an app for both devices That I don't have to reorient myself somehow This means that you only get one button to zoom in and select the zoom camera or the wide angle super wide angle Where you press to switch between the different cameras That's a bit annoying, I would have liked the new UI Where there is a separate button for each individual camera to switch directly to it But the camera has also got a new function that I didn't see on the Xperia 1 Mark II at least, It is the Night mode That the new big function I had mentioned in one of the Leaks All in all, one can say with bright environments ambient light it does capture good photos the colors are right the contrast is right Basically this is the typical middle class the typical middle class photos so one can simply expect this I might have wished they would use the 48 megapixel sensor with pixel-binning and then get a little bit more sharpness out of it But it's not too bad. I'd say it's not in the upper Mid-range segment as far as the camera is concerned, but rather centrally arranged Compared to the Xperia 1 Mark II, it should tend slightly reddish and Xperia 1 Mark II tends to be more bluish, which means that we have slightly warmer colors with the 10 Mark II But the sharpness of the images takes a hit at night In the night with darker pictures you'll notice that. The night mode helps And can also be used with all three cameras that's a great story but it's a bit soft Depending on what kind of camera you use you will notice this more clearly and depending on how dark it is you will also notice a clear noise This is simply due to the sensors which are much smaller than the Xperia 1 e. g. it is an improvement on the Xperia 10 and 10 plus But it can't keep up with the Xperia 1, Xperia 5 or even the pixel 3a for night shots But you get more flexibility through the three camera lenses You just have to look what you want to have, but the camera is not the very best for the middle class segment, it is just in the middle again It can't keep up with a pixel 3a at all when it comes to night mode Not even with the Huawei Smartphone anyway Who deliver better quality in the same price range Video recordings in the dark can also be forgotten so there is also a night mode supported but nee this is too noisy and I also have no real Video stabilization seen there is no optical image stabilizer as I have seen.
is basically useless to record videos at night The stabilization is available in electronic stabilization which should also work relatively well in the light But whether it really is the top class? Well, I'll tell you, I've seen better. Let's get to multitasking, which is one of the aspects that Sony emphasizes very strongly in the Xperia 10 Mark II This is very important because of the 21:9 display you have the possibility to adjust the top and the bottom of the screen Pinned to run two applications sony has been working on And offers besides the function Side Sense now also offers the possibility Or with the Side Sense function also to the possibility above below applications Pinning up an app switch and There are separate App Switcher for the upper and lower area where you can pin the apps you want to have and you can save them as groups in side sense so you can start side sense by double-tapping on one of the edges of the screen and select the configuration you want to have Let's come to the battery the battery is with 3600 milliampere-hours clearly bigger than the 2800 I think Only with the Xperia 10 and here with the Xperia 10+ it was only 3000 milliampere hours And with 3600 milliampere-hours, the system will then provide much more and is also supposed to be pretty good A few values I can tell you now that already exist 10 hours standby of 100% loses just 2% battery So this is a pretty good value I would say 2 hours of YouTube playback in Full-HD resolution at 50 percent consumes about 9 % battery This is also a really good value and Phonearena has already done a video test with Full HD YouTube playback and has really managed to get the device down from 100% in 11 hours to 0%.11 hours YouTube this is already really great and is in the middle class segment then really at the top and can even beat smartphones that come along with a larger, significantly larger battery Like for example the Moto G8 Power which has 5000mAh battery and this does not reach by far the values that the Xperia 10 Mark II can reach So Sony manages to deliver good values there concerning at least the multimedia consumption As soon as you start playing PUBG I have already mentioned or even Fortnite the The other one Interesting Mobile game There it consumes after one hour of playing Fortnite 19% battery I'd say that's more like In the middle class segment, the battery consumption concerns When it comes to games Coming to the software itself Software technically Android 10 is delivered by Known Sony slim design that is It's basically who buys such a Pixelphone because of the vanilla Google Android optic He can also buy them in Sony Phone Basically, you also have these Vanilla Google Android look with only one, two small adjustments You really have to be an Android expert to even notice that There is one change An important change for some people the pre-installed apps that Sony always delivers are becoming less and less this time The Album App is affected. By default it is no longer included and was replaced by the Googles Photo App Of course you can argue about that too Whether you want to You don't want that There's still the possibility Downloading old album app I think Or to import as Apk from old devices But it may well be that it will no longer be supported for long Overall, it is a significant improvement Also software technical Compared to the Xperia 10 and 10 plus the device runs more smoothly the device Runs cooler the unit has a better camera setup and the unit Also comes with a much stronger battery and then a better runtime This is not the best in the middle class I'd say so, but Well suited for media consumption and I would compare If you had to compare it I would compare it With the Galaxy A51 that Samsung has also released for the 359/369 Price range that Sony now also demands for the Xperia 10 II This is basically good competition They don't differentiate that much. But who wants to have a Sony device with 21 to 9 display the display is Better than Samsung, I'd say But the camera is a tick worse Audio & APT-X Aptx-hd everything no problem also LDAC support is included Headphone output You can get there, too connect proper headphones All this is part of the fact that it's really A great story All in all, I would say It's A good solid middle class device with A few weaknesses And a few extraordinary strengths What I would count the display to That's it For a summary of the reviews, if you have any questions, you can do so in the comments section I'm gonna try to get the answers as good as possible If I know something about it and if I have several test reports, of course If I get my own device to test somehow, I'll let you guys Of course also know of it and report Otherwise Thats it for this Techview VLog and until next time Ciao.
