Customer Ratings & Reviews

What my title refers to is that this Xperia 10 Plus is a mid-range phone and it doesn't try to fight above its weight class. The screen is bright and not overly saturated but it's not supposed to since it's not an AMOLED display. This is not a gaming phone and anything else with a Snapdragon 600 series CPU and 4GB of RAM isn't either. What this does do is web browsing, email, social media and entertainment. The 21:9 screen ratio takes some getting used to but it shines when viewing video. Because of the energy-efficient CPU the battery life is insanely good. Android 10 has dropped and made a good phone better with gesture navigation. The camera is quite good in situations where the lighting is adequate but don't expect Night Mode quality photos when the room darkens, it's not that kind of phone. Bluetooth is solid and you get VoLTE on T-Mobile!! Temper your expectations with the cash outlay and you're going to be fine. Don't expect to get a Galaxy S or iPhone for $300 or you will be disappointed.

I bought this phone on July 28th of 2019 and since then, It has been incredible. The only thing that I dislike about Sony is their prices, this phone is pretty expensive from what it offers, there isn't a significant change between its predecessors. Anyways, I think that Xperia never disappoints me, and I'm pleased with the performance of this phone. I constantly use my phone to play games and it has always been fantastic while playing COD Mobile, PUBG, or other games that need a massive performance of the devices.

This phone is packed with a lot of options great camera great looks great screen for less than $1000 compared to premium phones like Samsung and iPhone really good phone

Sony can make a really good phone. Build quality and feel are amazing. Their camera and audio hardware are great. They just need to commit to having a few tiers of phones. If they wanted to they could easily make a flagship phone, and it would be great. But they are still stuck in the middle / high tier.

This smartphone is not heavy at all, and I like that. Sony made a good job with this cellphone. It was not expensive and takes good pictures, in case you do not want to spend a lot of money!

We bought this phone because it was about half the cost of the newest phones. We are amazed with the picture quality and ease of use. The only thing that isn’t the greatest is the battery life as it does need to be charged throughout the day while our other phones held a charge for several hours longer.

Pro -Relatively inexpensive -Excellent battery life -64 GB internal storage -MicroSD slot -More RAM and newer CPU generation than regular X10 -2x optical zoom on rear camera -21:9 display -USB C connector -Hi-def Bluetooth audio codecs (aptx HD, LDAC) Con -LCD display instead of OLED -No wireless charging -Can't remove SD card without pulling SIM card -USB 2.0 connection -Not really "120 fps" video capture -Extra phone height can be problematic for some pockets TL/DR The Xperia 10 Plus is a great alternative to the much pricier unlocked "flagship" phones that typically cost $300+ more. The internal hardware is better than average, if not top-of-the-line, with a strong, efficient CPU, 4GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, and microSD slot ( whereas the regular Xperia 10 is only 3GB RAM and a weaker A53 only CPU ). The 21:9 display aspect is great for some media or for scrolling long pages. Unfortunately the screen is only LCD, not OLED, and there's no wireless charging. But if you're okay with that, have the pocket space, and want a phone with great battery life and without manufacturer bloatware, the 10 Plus is an affordable option. In Detail The big marketing point of the new Xperia models is the 21:9 display. To those who don't know, this is the same aspect ratio most widescreen movies are shot ( 2.35 ). Sony claims Netflix has lots of 21:9 media available, which they do, and it's nice to watch movies without letterbox bars, if you watch a lot of media on your phone. Part of this partnership appears to be the inability to uninstall the Netflix application on the phone. The display ratio also helps in some productivity tasks. In portrait orientation you can view long documents or web pages easier and the popup keyboard takes up less relative space. It's also handy for split-screen usage. Thankfully, there's no notch in the display at top, Sony just made a slightly larger bezel to totally cover the front camera and speaker. The other three edges have very small bezels, which looks quite nice. The thin bezel at the bottom does mean the three control soft buttons are quite close to the edge, and I found myself accidentally hitting them a lot. Sony leaves this running very close to pure Android 9 OS, which is nice, and they don't take up a lot of space with bloatware apps that you can't uninstall. If you're tired of Samsung, LG, HTC, and others with their heavy-handed interface changes and non-removeable applications, you'll appreciate the Xperia. Powering the 10 Plus is a Snapdragon 636. This isn't premium processor, but it's definitely at the top of the mid-range stack. It's a newer generation CPU that mixes four A73 cores with four A53 cores for better efficiency and uses a slightly upgraded Adreno 509 graphics processor ( the regular Xperia 10 uses the A53-only Snapdragon 630 with Adreno 508 ). This 636 is not only more powerful than the 630, it's also more power efficient and generates less relative heat. Given the larger battery in the 10 Plus ( 3000 mAh to 2870 mAh ) the 10 Plus has incredible battery life. Even after a full day of streaming hi-def audio ( the phone has aptX HD, LDAC, and other hi-def Bluetooth codecs ), heavy web browsing, and downloading new applications, the battery was still at 60%. I can easily get two days use on a single charge. The phone also has a battery care feature that limits how fast the battery charges ( typically the slower a battery charges, the better the charge quality and the longer the charge lasts ). This also limits how long the battery stays at 100% charge while still plugged in, which helps extend total battery lifespan. Sadly, the phone does not have wireless charging and the phone exterior does not have the contacts to get it in an aftermarket case. The connector for charging and data is USB type-C, which is nice, but the phone itself can only transfer at USB 2.0 speeds. The phone exterior itself is a basic plastic/polymer. Some people complain this isn't "premium" since it's not metal and glass, but it's saves manufacturing costs and my phone is always in a protective case anyway. The SIM and microSD slot are both under the same cover on the top right edge. However, pulling the cover to get to the SD card also removes the SIM card, so you can't swap out your SD card without powering down the phone. The camera lens protrudes on the back, a design I don't like since it makes the lenses easier to scratch. The camera itself is fine, but I don't really use a phone camera much. It can capture pictures in 4:3, 16:9, and 21:9 as well as 4K/30 and 1080/60 video. The camera does have a 2x optical zoom, which is much appreciated, but it's claims for 120fps slow motion video are greatly exaggerated. It just captures video at the normal rate, either 30 or 60 fps, and then slows the framerate down in playback. All considered, the lack of wireless charging and OLED display are my biggest gripes. Nokia's Lumia devices have had those features in the same price range for years, so it's unfortunate Sony decided to save those as features for their premium phones only. But for performance, battery life, and usability, there's not much to complain about in the $450 range. If you have the extra pocket space for the extra tall phone, the 10 Plus is definitely the better option than the regular 10 and a very good option overall.

The XPERIA 10 plus phone, unlocked, is a great looking phone. I was going to activate it on AT&T but a rep told me it may have problems making calls depending on where I was...missing a frequency or something. So I decided to return it to Best Buy. At the curb side return area( required due to virus concerns) I told the guy AT & T said it will work but may have problems. The guy, I assume he was not a phone person, said best buy website says it is compatible with all carriers because it is an unlocked phone. Told him what AT & T said, he says it is 100% compatible and took it back minus restock charge. He flagged it for test...oh well. Would I buy another SONY phone? Maybe the coming XPERIA PRO phone...

I switched, from a galaxy note 8, phone is comparable to that. Camera is great, takes great pictures. The price is great and no contract on AT&T,

Got it at a good price match with amazon, and feel that I prefer this to my Samsung Galaxy S10. The camera takes surprisingly nice photos as well.

I just got the phone I been using so far everything work fine it's fast great camera good memory but the only thing no like it so much is the battery life gone fast but at the same time charge fast that the only u can think about it!!!!...

Coming from a LG G7 thin Q and I must say it feel nice to be running AOSP Android Pie. The device is fast and responsive. The Display is nice as well especially for watching videos and I don't feel like the display ever get hot like the G7. The camera is awesome as well. The picture quality is up to par with the G7 and the G8. The only downside is no remote play for the PS4 and the fingerprint sensor placement especially with a case.

I was so excited to receive this phone. From Z3, which i had used for 4yrs, to 10 plus is a very big change. I love the size of this phone. User-friendly. Only few differences in features from the Z3 like the side sense and fingerprint access. I wish Sony didn't remove the double tap to use screen though but not that much of a big deal. I ordered the phone in-store and had it sent to my home. Arrived in 3 days. Price is so worth it, not having to spend over 400-1000 for an unlocked phone ;)

This is a great phone with all the bells and whistles your going to ever need. And its fast!! I love the size.

This phone has an excellent 21:9 widescreen display. All video looks great. It has the same great features for phone, email , internet and programmability that previous Sony Xperia phones have. Excellent camera for still shots and 4K video. It is easy to load data from other smartphones. No problem connecting to any GSM cellular network. For a mid priced phone it has a lot of features, too many to list here. Good value for the money. I enjoy using it.

This is a good mid range. Crisp display, great for watching movies. Overall good performance. Takes good clean photos, not photographer quality but you will not be disappointed.

Decent phone (a little large but pocketable--about same size as my wife's Galaxy Note). Most important to me was twin lens with telephoto (instead of wide angle) as the secondary lens. Camera performance is decent, though not as flexible as the high priced phones. Interesting feature, screen can be split between two simultaneous apps. Handy sometimes. Minor complaint, fingerprint sensor is on the side, I prefer the back like my old phone.

Love this phone it's fast and the size fits perfectly in my hands. Screen size is fantastic camera is great

Great price and good quality phone. Fast speed. Awesome camera quality. Love the memory and speed.

Experia 10 + has met all my expectations. I find it easy to use, quick to respond. And plenty of data available. This is the first time I've have ever used in Android I've always had iPhones but the switch was fairly painless. This is a plus I like the big wide screen because I read books on it and the new iPhone was just too expensive and I couldn't justify the cost for a plus. Great phone and. I camera I would buy this phone again.
