NotebookCheck | Marcus Herbrich

The Sony Xperia 10 is an intriguing proposition. It will appeal to those who are fans of compact smartphones ...Overall, the Sony Xperia 10 is a decent smartphone, but it would have been even more compelling if it was...cheaper.

If you're willing to splash out that little bit extra, the Xperia 10 Plus will offer you better performance thanks to its faster processor and marginally better battery life. It's 21:9 display is quite the feature but we feel the rest of the offering doesn't quite match it.

Gadget Speak | Paul Smart

This phone is one for those who like to watch films as the format is taller and slimmer than most, of course it still does everything that a phone should it's just the screen shape that makes landscape use the most likely way to use it.

Pocket-lint | Britta O'Boyle

... the Xperia 10 gives you a lot of phone ... however, is that it doesn't give you quite as much as other devices around the same price point - like the Honor Play or the Motorola Moto G7 Plus.

Android Authority | Eric Zeman

Sony's latest mid-range phones break new ground with their 21:9 displays. Thanks to affordable and capable specs, the Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus are solid all-around performers that won't break the bank.

Tech.co | Tom Fogden

Xperia 10 is certainly decent value. Its screen is decent, the rear cameras are strong, and its general performance is impressive.

Trusted Reviews | Alastair Stevenson

In many ways the Xperia 10 is an excellent mid-range smartphone. But its use of old hardware stops it from being the Moto G-killer we'd hoped for and means it's woefully under powered by today's standards.

TechRadar | James Peckham

The Sony Xperia 10 is a mid-range phone that brings Sony's flagship style and unique 21:9 aspect ratio to a phone that's a third of the price of its upcoming Xperia 1. It's not the best phone you can buy for this price by any means, but if you like to watch movies and TV shows on your commute it may be perfect for you.

AndroidPit | Pierre Vitré

In the end, the Xperia 10 offers a good price-performance ratio (its only major weakness is the battery) and is a pleasant smartphone to use, especially for people who like to watch videos on their smartphone and enjoy the 21:9 aspect ratio of its screen.

The Inquirer | Alan Martin

It's another set of perfectly competent Sony Xperia phones that you'll be happy enough with, but just don't make sense much sense at their recommended RRP. If that sounds familiar, you've clearly read a Sony phone review before.

Digital Trends | Simon Hall

Sony's 21:9 phones make a compelling case for using a taller phone... but falls frustratingly short of budget brilliance.

The Verge | Cameron Faulkner

Even with its eye-catching display, this is a bare-bones Android experience that, in typical Sony fashion, does too little and costs too much.

... the Xperia 10 simply doesn't have the hardware it takes to rise to the top.

PC Mag | Steven Winkelman

The Sony Xperia 10 doesn't have what it takes to compete against similarly priced midrange Android phones.

What Mobile | Paul Lipscombe

On the surface, the thin and tall device has an intriguing design, but looking deeper there are a few notable issues. The dual-camera set-up feels outdated, with photos appearing pixellated before even zooming in. This seems even more frustrating given that watching videos on YouTube and Netflix holds up well and feels almost cinematic...headphone jack remains...it's an underwhelming smartphone and Sony will certainly face stiff competition from Motorola.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
