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.

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.

... 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
