Sony Xperia 10 III review: Muddling through the mid-range

This mid-ranger offers good build quality and waterproofing - which is a rarity at this level. But while it offers three proper cameras on the back, the overall camera performance isn't great. There's plenty of power for a mid-range device, but it's simply out-classed by the competition.

Great build quality; Waterproofing; Good display; MicroSD card slot; 3.5mm headphone socket;

Mono speaker; Display brightness; Weak front camera; Camera low-light performance; Price;

Sony Xperia 10 III review

The Sony Xperia 10 III is a surprisingly tough little phone, but poor cameras and very slow charging mean it just can’t compete at the money Sony asks for.

Good battery life; Petite phone with a mature design; Great water resistance;

Poor cameras; Ridiculously slow charging; Mediocre processor

Mediocre performance; Display only 60Hz; Painfully slow charging;

Sony Xperia 1 III Review

No notch and cutout leaves screen uninterrupted; Narrow body is great most of the time; Features ditched elsewhere like SD card, headphone jack included;

Screen doesn’t get bright enough outdoors; Tall display can make certain things feel cramped; Low-light and zoom photography isn’t that great for something that costs this much;

Sony Xperia 10 III review

The Xperia 10 III is a clear upgrade on its predecessor, but familiar shortcomings remain. In the ultra-competitive mid-range space, it’s hard to recommend.

Great battery life; Decent performance; Enjoyable software experience;

Patchy cameras; Slow wired charging, no wireless; Display still only 60Hz;
