The successor to the Xperia 10 II has the same look and feel but improved performance. It represents the middle price segment and inherited the proprietary design of the Japanese company Sony with an elongated rectangular case, which has acquired protection against water and dust according to the IP68 standard. The 6-inch OLED display is framed by small bezels at the top and bottom and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6.
Sony continues to ignore the fashion for waterdrop notches and cameras embedded in the display, so the 8-megapixel front camera is located in the top frame. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 processor with 5G support and 6 GB of RAM provide good performance, and battery life rests on the shoulders of a 4500 mAh battery that supports 30 W fast charging. The Sony Xperia 10 III has 128 GB of built-in memory, but there is also a hybrid slot for two SIM cards or one SIM card and a memory card up to 512 GB. There are also NFC for contactless payments, a fingerprint scanner on the side and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The main camera on the rear panel consists of three modules. There is a 12MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra wide-angle sensor, and an 8MP telephoto lens.

cinematic display
“You will recognize it from a thousand” — this is how you can characterize any Sony smartphone, since the gadgets of the Japanese company retain their proprietary design. Fashionable cutouts, special design of cameras and “waterfall” displays – the manufacturer says “no” to all this and continues to produce devices with a rectangular body and wide enough frames around the screen, in which the front cameras, speakers and necessary sensors are placed. And they have fans who appreciate the company for its consistency and choose its smartphones for that particular style. The representative of the middle price segment Sony Xperia 10 III was no exception and inherited all the features described above. And not without an elongated display, which is called cinematic because of the unusual aspect ratio of 21:9. This is a 6-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 2520x1080 pixels, a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz (although you could be generous with more) and the ability to play HDR content. Thus, it turns out a pocket mini-TV, which is convenient to watch your favorite movies and series. And although the screen is not so small, due to the elongated shape, the smartphone itself is relatively compact (154x68x8.3 mm) and not heavy (169 g). It is convenient to operate it with one hand, although you will have to use the second hand to get to the top. At the same time, the back cover is made of glass, which spoils the plastic frame a little. But it more than pays for protection against water and dust according to the IP68 standard — you rarely see it in non-flagship devices.
Not without flaws
The hardware of the model is not bad: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 processor with 5G support and 6/128 GB of memory ensure stable operation without overheating, fast application launch and perform well with basic tasks. The battery capacity is 4500 mAh, and this is perhaps the maximum that could fit in an 8.3 mm thick case. A day and a half of battery life are provided, after which 30W fast charging comes into play. In addition, there are NFC for contactless payment for purchases, a hybrid slot (SIM + SIM / microSD) and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Unfortunately there are no stereo speakers.
And now for the cameras. As a shoemaker without boots, Sony, known for its excellent professional cameras, grazes the back of its competitors in terms of photo and video shooting. The smartphone received an 8-megapixel front and triple rear camera with optical stabilization. The latter has a 12MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens. But this whole set does not please with the quality of the pictures: in good light it is acceptable, but in low light everything is much worse. Selfies also turn out faded and blurry — definitely not for Instagram.
To sum up, the smartphone has several advantages such as 5G support, IP68 water resistance and pleasant little things for comfortable everyday use. But the camera spoils the overall impression, and the price tag seems a little high, especially against the background of competitors with 90 Hz displays and more powerful processors. But the model will definitely be appreciated by fans of the corporate style of Sony.
