The Xperia 1 is a brave flagship that does something different in a world of notches and punch-holes. Its 4K HDR 21:9 screen is a statement piece that draws you in, while its Alpha-inspired triple-camera setup and CineAlta-powered video recording tool...
The Sony Xperia 10 is capable of decent images in good lighting conditions. The long, thin screen ratio means you can shoot cinematic videos, but for photos the ratio isn't great, leaving you not making the most of the screen or capturing images which are difficult to crop to conventional print sizes if captured in 21:9. Selfie adjustments are slightly surreal and there's not a full manual mode, meaning those of you after total creative control may be left...
Tricky one this. There's no denying it, this is an excellent phone when it comes to the cameras, the screen and the GUI. It's a different form-factor, that's for sure, but I'm not going to berate them too much for that as there'll definitely be lots of...

The Sony Xperia 10 doesn't feel like the full package it needs to be in order to compete in the tough mid-range market.It's a perfectly fine mid-range phone which does the job, but it doesn't excel like competing phones we've reviewed in the last year...
The Xperia 10 duo is certainly a unique-looking offering this year. We are not sure if any other manufacturer would be bold enough to try the 21:9 ratio any time soon, so, for the time being, you can be sure that these extra-long slabs will look special...
If the Xperia 10 cost less it'd be easier to recommend. As it stands, it costs more and performs worse than other mid-range phones like the Moto G7 and Honor Play.With lacklustre performance and a design that you might not be into, the Xperia 10 is a...
