About the Sony Xperia 10 II

The Xperia 10 II is the phone for people who never wanted a slab the width of a paperback. Sony's 21:9 shape means a 6-inch screen sits in a body only 69mm wide and 151g heavy, which makes it one of the easiest modern phones to use one-handed. That tall aspect ratio also suits its purpose: cinema-format films play without letterboxing, and two apps stacked on screen actually get sensible amounts of space each. Sony gave it an OLED panel and IP65/IP68 water resistance, both unusual at this end of the market in 2020, plus a headphone jack and microSD slot. The compromises are just as clear. The Snapdragon 665 was modest at launch and is slow now, the 3,600mAh battery is small by current standards, and the triple 12MP and 8MP camera array is fine in daylight and weak after dark. Software support finished at Android 12, so there are no further security patches. Today it appeals almost entirely on ergonomics: if a narrow, light, water-resistant phone with a proper headphone socket matters more to you than speed, little else comes close.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Sony Xperia 10 II worth buying?
Only for a specific buyer. The Xperia 10 II is unusually narrow, light and water resistant with a headphone jack, which no current budget phone quite matches, but its Snapdragon 665 chip is slow by 2026 standards and it no longer receives security updates. Choose it for the one-handed shape, not for performance.
Does the Sony Xperia 10 II have a headphone jack?
Yes, the Xperia 10 II has a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is one of the reasons it retained a following. It also supports high-resolution audio and includes a microSD slot for expanding storage up to 1TB.
Is the Sony Xperia 10 II waterproof?
It carries an IP65 and IP68 rating, meaning it is protected against dust, low-pressure water jets and immersion in fresh water up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. That was rare for a mid-range phone in 2020, though seals degrade with age so treat splash resistance rather than swimming as the realistic use case.
Does the Sony Xperia 10 II support 5G?
No. The Xperia 10 II is a 4G-only phone built on the Snapdragon 665, so it cannot connect to UK 5G networks. Sony added 5G with the following model, the Xperia 10 III, which uses the Snapdragon 690.
How good is the Sony Xperia 10 II camera?
It is adequate rather than impressive. The 12MP main, 8MP telephoto and 8MP ultrawide trio covers a useful range of focal lengths and produces natural colours in good light, but detail drops away quickly indoors and at night. Video records at up to 4K 30fps.
How does the Sony Xperia 10 II compare to the Xperia 10 III?
The Xperia 10 III keeps the same 6-inch 21:9 OLED screen and narrow shape but adds 5G through the Snapdragon 690, increases the battery from 3,600mAh to 4,500mAh, and moves to 30W charging with 6GB of RAM. It is the more sensible buy if you want the Sony form factor with modern network support.

Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
