@@abu269 I was about to buy the 5ii, until they announced the 1iii. I really wish the 5iii also had a 4K display, I would definitely buy it over the 1iii.
@@UselessVoidBobo I know what you mean but the the screen is already very impressive on the 5ii as it is. The FHD+ has a crisp display with the 120htz refresh rate. I've compared it to the Galaxy S21 and find the Xperia display is better, especially with in Creator Mode. Either way, they are both great phones, can't go wrong with either device.
@@takenking2770 10 III, it has the better performance to run your everyday tasks better. The higher the number of the chipset is, typically means it’s better.
I'd like to see Sony release a new Xperia Play phone. Mobile gaming has evolved since the release of the original Xperia Play and will definitely give the opportunity for Sony to truly utilise remote play and even PlayStation Now gaming on the go.
That is true, though not many Android games utilise those controls, or even support for a controller. More do now compared to then, but still not enough to warrant another Xperia Play effort.
I have an Xperia XA2 bought right about when it was launched (so getting close to 3.5 years of use now) and I've been looking at the 10 Mk III as a possible replacement. Reasons being are: I hate notches/punch hole screens, also I hate big phones and I don't need flagship specs because I'm not a heavy user. The 10 Mk III seems to be the only Android phone with decent specs that fits this bill, offers good value for money and isn't a full on phablet. It's still too big for my liking but I guess I have to make a compromise at some point. On my current contract at Orange I can get it at 338 euros which is a decent drop in cost from the standard price which is 406 euros in my country. There's always the option of waiting for a black friday/ christmas sale and get it even cheaper than that. Or wait until Mk IV comes out next year as my XA2 somehow refuses to die out haha. Phone looks like a standard minimalistic Sony which should be fine for most folk that aren't power users but rather appreciate good build quality and longevity via good battery care (which Sony always delivers).
I've read so many Sony phone users here are still holding on to their old model. it's amazing to see people using a phone more than 2 years. I can only last 2 years as I also a loyal Sony phone user. my best Sony phone was m5 dual but I drop my phone a lot and the camera is broken. then I replace it with xa1, it was OK but the battery life is drained so quickly . and the latest one I got 10ii, hope it can last more than 2 years 😂 wishing you the best find a good Sony phone for you mate!
@@ryeofoatmeal Thanks. I hope to settle on a good phone as well. I had the XA1 previously. Decent phone but that Mediatek chipset was complete trash and the battery capacity was too small. I used it for about one year but it still works, we have it in the family as a backup phone! Before that I had the Z3 Compact, awesome compact phone but I broke the display on it, changed it, gave it to my girlfriend then she also broke the display lol. My dad used a Z1 Compact for almost 6 years with a single battery change, also have some friends who are also tech enthusiasts and had Sony phones, be either Z1, Z5, Z5 compact, XZ1 etc. The one constant denominator in the Sony devices seems to be longevity. Heck, I still have an Xperia Neo from 2011 (my first Android phone) which still boots up but I don't have a SIM card for it anymore and it needs one to get past the initial lock screen. I gotta get one soon and make it fit out of simple curiosity, to see if the phone still functions once everything loads.
Ah yeah and i am sitting here with Samsung Galaxy S8 which i got after my Xperia Z1 compact. The S8 is 3 years old now and the battery dies midday and the software after update is just horrible, inefficient, looks like some chinese generic design and uh its unstable, restarts randomly, some apps crash and weird stuff happens. Idk it was overbloated mess to begin with, just the tech was really nice back then. But yeh i don't want anything else than Sony anymore, i am patiently waiting for Xperia 5 III to replace my S8.
Very similar here with a 4,5 year old X compact, which is still doing pretty ok. Mostly interested in the Xperia 10 III because of the audio extras, big-ish battery, IP68 and a sort of acceptable size.
It's actually funny that they're just a few decimal points shy from using it seeing as phones like the latest OnePlus uses something like 20.75:9 or whatever.
Because that's not what Apple and Samsung are using. Every OEMs just follow what this top 2 are doing like if they remove something, they will also remove something. Add a punch hole / notch, they will also do that. Remove an accessory like headset or charger, the others will do it too. More cameras, same. The reason why Sony is going on 21:9 is because that's what they highlight for the Xperias. The cinematic experience of the screen, software and cameras.
I have the 5ii and it is a shit! Stay away... Things that nobady will tell you: - Sony's smartphone have a very low flashlight (unusable), this does not make exceptions - the case of the phone strongly vibrates when the volume is greater than 50%. This became frustrating in few minutes. (note that I disabled sony's dynamic vibration) - whites turn to light green just tilting a bit the phone. - icons and chars due to the 21:1 are very small... If you increase them reverting will appear weird. - android has very low customization options. In other word either iPhone or Chinese phone... No other choise is possible. I am so angry with Sony!
@@alessandro6589 I have the 5 mark II, and it's literally the greatest phone I have ever tested. I have experienced almost none of these issues on mine. "whites turn to light green just tilting a bit the phone." Have you set the display to creator mode? "the case of the phone strongly vibrates when the volume is greater than 50%. This became frustrating in few minutes. (note that I disabled sony's dynamic vibration)" Welcome to having decent speakers in the phone, if you want good sound, that's a consequence, and I have not even noticed it. "icons and chars due to the 21:1 are very small... If you increase them reverting will appear weird." Well, you did just buy a compact sized smartphone, it's not a tablet. "android has very low customization options." I have not found anything I wanted to customize which i couldn't. Flashligh, OK, not the greatest, but, I don't buy a phone to use it as a flashlight. I think, you have chosen the wrong phone for yourself and that the frustration of it not being right for you has made you nitpick things that are not issues.
@@alessandro6589 hmm. all those things don't seem like hardcore deal breakers. - low flashlight? we usually have electricity so I don't use my phone's flashlight often. flash when taking pics? don't really do that. were you expecting car headlights for a phone flashlight? - doesn't seem like a problem. do you keep your phone playing 100% volume 24/7? - why are you tilting your phone? do you usually use your phone while looking at it not directly? - I have a Samsung Galaxy S9. I used it with the lowest zoom with smallest icons and font available. I don't think I'll have problems with icon & font sizes until I'm like 90 - wow. Android has LOW customization options? huh. maybe you should see the other OS.
@@VinnesRC lol I always laugh at people who complain about color shifting when viewing screens at off angles as if that's how they're gonna view their phone screens all day

Sony exclusively made Apple face id. Apple and SONY has good rapport, due to the late Steve Jobs, who is a big SONY fan. LiDar, Face Time also made by SONY exclusively for Apple. Even Apple first laptop was designed and made by SONY. That's how close is SONY and Apple.

Good evening Sir, l have been watching your reviews on the latest and best smartphones to date. Recently you did a review on the Sony 10 111 and true to form on the said smartphone, l was face with the same issue of large black splurge marks across video playbacks where the video was shot in low lighting, Kate Bush: Sensual World. Annoyed, l went into the settings found its colour correction, then switch the handset onto tritanomaly and lastly move the brightness level up to halfway, which seems to correct those large black oily looking marks appearing on videos shoot in low lighting. Great phone from CEX at £210. Keep up the good work. Glen from Watford, Hertfordshire
I am still looking for a successor for my xz2 compact. I thought the 10 iii could be it. But actually i doubt it. Xz2 compact still runs pretty smooth with the snap 845. Also i have the feeling that the 690 5g is slower :( maybe i have to consider the 5 iii...
xz2 was flagship, so your successor should be a flagship too, 10 iii is mid-range. And yes maybe you're right the 5 iii could be the answer as it is the slightly compact version of 1 iii. Edit: should be noted 5 iii is a downgrade of features too from the 1 iii, i.e less RAM, no TOF 3D module, no 4k 60fps screen etc.
@@PhazeyBlur 4K 120fps* screen on the 1 III. But those are not deal breakers, I would say, and 8GB RAM is still more than enough for a phone. Plus the smaller screen/resolution means a better battery life.
@@PhazeyBlur you made me to rethink. Im also using xz2 compact, and planning to get 10 iii, im not gamer hence im not to jumpy with processor and the camera is overkill to my simple needs hahaha, im thinking 5 ii but still pricey as of writing. The only reason i like sony is form slim factor and ip65 rating My xz2 compact for almost 3yrs now, having sign of giving up, the battery now is bloated pushing the screen. Hahaha
Not if you want IP68 water resistance. But that's because it's literally the only phone in it's class which has it. And maybe if you don't want a flashy phone, like every new phone now looks flashy. Meanwhile Sony is doing Sony, that's what I like the most about Sony smartphones. And if you want the form factor and great performance, there's the 5 mark III when it releases.
@@paulgal All major phone brands are overpriced except for cheap Chinese copies that spy on you. At least the Sony Xperia 1 III offers new shit that no one has like 4k 120 hz OLED display, variable telephoto lens, 4k HDR 120 fps recording, etc. AND there's no ugly notch or punch hole, and it has front firing stereo speakers, sd card slot, headphone jack, and bypass charging 💪
And all the other phone out there are having a broken display. Name one with perfect screen without cutout and cutoff rounded corners. None, except Sony.
@@jaypunzalan6999 oneplus nord ce 5g is what the original oneplus nord phones should have been. The main difference between Sonys efforts and Oneplus is cameras and water resistance, the chipset too but Sony have a better camera, water resistance and build is better
Hi Chris, on low brightness does your 10iii have green/grey tint issues? It's really noticeable at night, and seems to be happening to a number of people. Still a great phone, hoping it's a software issue that can be fixed 😅
How is the screen brightness on Sony's 10 III as according to some reviewers that is a weakness? Hope you're enjoying the phone. I chose Samsung's A52 5G as it was a great buy thanks to added discounts. Hope that tint issue gets sorted or be sure to badger Sony so it can get fixed.
@@jlc973 Aside from the screen brightness issue, I like it a lot. If it can't get it fixed will probably consider other experias as I like the unique slim design. There's been some good phone models that are a better bargain, but really like Sony's phone design 😅
The PlayStation app is a massive convince. Used it on all my phones. Also, I had no idea there was a new Garbage album out. Will definitely have to look it up.
Sony Phone needs to come back to India. My favorite cell phone is Sony. My brother bought a Sony z1 phone in 2013 and I liked it so much that I also wanted to buy a Sony phone during my college days but recently Sony is not coming to India much. Sony will later sell its best phones in India.
Nice to see that Sony haven't succumbed, on most of their phones, at least to notch-itis. For me, those screens, look so much nicer, give me a bezel, any day of the week!
I prefer mono speaker, you can manipulate the sound using one hand. It actually makes a lot more logical sense than stereo. If I want stereo, I do the smart thing and plug / wireless the device to something that is bigger and sounds amazng. People's obsessions with phone specs are actually quite stupid.
I don't know why but I like this phone despite the fact that there are better devices in this pricerange. Soon I have to get a new phone but still can't decide whether to buy this or the pixel 4a.. Any suggestions?
Hi, firstly many thanks for that short n fast but all covered review... @Tech spurt But, could you please help me clear my doubt regarding that "manual" settings in camera a bit... " Does that have a long shutter speed, or is it that same old 1sec max as was with XA2 .." Because, camera is my part, or if not, I'll have to wait for 5 III (even if it's way too expensive) 😊
Plz can you guide from which store you bought the phone? I have been hunting but is not available I live in Middle East & sony phones are discontinued in ME... I want to buy this online
Not so much talking about DSEE Ultimate with 3.5mm jack. I believe one who buy this phone expect to use it as music player (with 1TB microSD) rather than how good of its camera.

Sony was right about keeping those bezels. 👍 Phone companies should either add frames or remove those notches.
Maybe Sony prioritize their Xperia phones for entertainment that's why they never adapt the Notch or Punch hole type of display.

Great phone from CEX at £210. Keep up the good work. Glen from Watford, Hertfordshire
I am still looking for a successor for my xz2 compact. I thought the 10 iii could be it. But actually i doubt it. Xz2 compact still runs pretty smooth with the snap 845. Also i have the feeling that the 690 5g is slower :( maybe i have to consider the 5 iii...
xz2 was flagship, so your successor should be a flagship too, 10 iii is mid-range. And yes maybe you're right the 5 iii could be the answer as it is the slightly compact version of 1 iii.
Edit: should be noted 5 iii is a downgrade of features too from the 1 iii, i.e less RAM, no TOF 3D module, no 4k 60fps screen etc.
@@PhazeyBlur 4K 120fps* screen on the 1 III. But those are not deal breakers, I would say, and 8GB RAM is still more than enough for a phone. Plus the smaller screen/resolution means a better battery life.
@@PhazeyBlur you made me to rethink. Im also using xz2 compact, and planning to get 10 iii, im not gamer hence im not to jumpy with processor and the camera is overkill to my simple needs hahaha, im thinking 5 ii but still pricey as of writing. The only reason i like sony is form slim factor and ip65 rating
My xz2 compact for almost 3yrs now, having sign of giving up, the battery now is bloated pushing the screen. Hahaha
If a phone can nail the photography and videography and has a good battery, then it's a good- ass phone.
Heard it's not that good on that cameras....
@@amllemans yea i meant in general. This phone is crap. Don't buy this one
Great unboxing as always bro
I am curious about that bokeh effects, my samsung S20 €474, has also a lot of possibilities.
When he changed the wallpaper to deku I was like 'are you spying on me or something?!' cause I was drawing deku at that exact moment 😂
Thanks for the review!
How much in Bangladesh???
That name for the black 🔥🔥🔥💯💯😅😅🤣
Can I play games ps on sony xperia 10iii?
Sony is the best
i think other brand should learn from sony, sony got one of the best wireless earphones but they still retain headphones jack in phone👍
Sony new earbuds are good but the sennheiser still hold the crown in sound music. Mtw2
I would love to buy a phone with this form factor, but this is straight up bad value for money compared to the competition
Not if you want IP68 water resistance. But that's because it's literally the only phone in it's class which has it. And maybe if you don't want a flashy phone, like every new phone now looks flashy. Meanwhile Sony is doing Sony, that's what I like the most about Sony smartphones. And if you want the form factor and great performance, there's the 5 mark III when it releases.
Looking forward to your 1 III content‼️
I'll spoil it for you the phone is overpriced . Better with last year's model if you can get a good price.
@@paulgal All major phone brands are overpriced except for cheap Chinese copies that spy on you. At least the Sony Xperia 1 III offers new shit that no one has like 4k 120 hz OLED display, variable telephoto lens, 4k HDR 120 fps recording, etc. AND there's no ugly notch or punch hole, and it has front firing stereo speakers, sd card slot, headphone jack, and bypass charging 💪
thank you for this video. I have a question for you. Will there be video for Sony Xperia 1 mark 3?
Loved the review. Think Sony has shot itself in the foot here with the pricing though. Too many other similar spec phones out there for cheaper.
And all the other phone out there are having a broken display. Name one with perfect screen without cutout and cutoff rounded corners. None, except Sony.
Sony has been really competitive in the mid range category the past two years.
In what market is this competitive?
@@jaypunzalan6999 oneplus nord ce 5g is what the original oneplus nord phones should have been. The main difference between Sonys efforts and Oneplus is cameras and water resistance, the chipset too but Sony have a better camera, water resistance and build is better
@@lifewentdownhill Exactly my question. how can one call this pricing competitive for the mediocre specs!!
@@theeMask It's not all about specs, this phone looks miles better than almost any phone at this price and is built better with IP68 water resistence.
Thanks for the informative video! What's the length of the USB-C cable?
Hi Chris, on low brightness does your 10iii have green/grey tint issues? It's really noticeable at night, and seems to be happening to a number of people.
Still a great phone, hoping it's a software issue that can be fixed 😅
How is the screen brightness on Sony's 10 III as according to some reviewers that is a weakness?
Hope you're enjoying the phone. I chose Samsung's A52 5G as it was a great buy thanks to added discounts.
Hope that tint issue gets sorted or be sure to badger Sony so it can get fixed.
@@jlc973 a52 is a great buy for the price.
@@jlc973 Aside from the screen brightness issue, I like it a lot. If it can't get it fixed will probably consider other experias as I like the unique slim design. There's been some good phone models that are a better bargain, but really like Sony's phone design 😅
@@kyasarinlab Sony sleek and Japanese design alone make all the other better value phone meaningless. At least for me.
The PlayStation app is a massive convince. Used it on all my phones. Also, I had no idea there was a new Garbage album out. Will definitely have to look it up.
Aye, definitely a fan of both!
Thanks for this helpful video. Is there a screen protector that I can buy for this mobile and what type of SD card can not hold? Is 46 SD OK?
Sony Phone needs to come back to India. My favorite cell phone is Sony. My brother bought a Sony z1 phone in 2013 and I liked it so much that I also wanted to buy a Sony phone during my college days but recently Sony is not coming to India much. Sony will later sell its best phones in India.
But it is too costly for its specs. but the device is just 💥💥💥 wish i could buy someday.
Wishing it had a dual front-firing speaker setup. It would be an easy purchase.
It is a bit of a miss, but I'm just thankful that headphone jack is still here
Nokia x6 2009 had dual speakers, and sounds good
I'm looking forward to your review of of the xperia l5 when it comes out
Best reviewer no nonsense just the facts and really loved bottom Eddie and Rick 4 ever
It's the Sony Xperia News Update! ITS FUCKING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's the Sony Xperia News Update!
Bottom, Gas Man = old school = 👍🏼
Thanx for the review. Pity it's not available here in New Zealand.
Watching this with my Xperia 1 ii, I don't think I'm gonna buy mark 3, it's kinda overprice sadly :(
Nice to see that Sony haven't succumbed, on most of their phones, at least to notch-itis.
For me, those screens, look so much nicer, give me a bezel, any day of the week!
I prefer mono speaker, you can manipulate the sound using one hand. It actually makes a lot more logical sense than stereo.
If I want stereo, I do the smart thing and plug / wireless the device to something that is bigger and sounds amazng. People's obsessions with phone specs are actually quite stupid.
Sony❤️
Yeah here we go again Mr. Baldy the phone reviewer / unboxer 😁
Ahh Bottom and Deku in a Sony phone review. Cultured
Tech Spurt very good information. Likely lads
Everyone say competitors give you more for less etc etc etc...but who wants audio quality, compact phone and so on...there's no other way
Thanks sir for unboxing video of much awaited mid ranger from Sony please send buying link I'm from India
Hi Namaste, I 've A question? U don't do give a way ? Need it desperately.... ❤👌👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
I like the setup animation there
Please review xperia 5 iii too 🙏
"Not too great for your older TV shows"
Shows men in dress shirts whipping the tar out of each other 🤣
Please tell how to buy in India for this phone any important services or website
As usual nice wallpaper Chris my hero academia 🔥
I don't know why but I like this phone despite the fact that there are better devices in this pricerange. Soon I have to get a new phone but still can't decide whether to buy this or the pixel 4a.. Any suggestions?
What a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, firstly many thanks for that short n fast but all covered review...
@Tech spurt
But, could you please help me clear my doubt regarding that "manual" settings in camera a bit...
" Does that have a long shutter speed, or is it that same old 1sec max as was with XA2 .."
Because, camera is my part, or if not, I'll have to wait for 5 III (even if it's way too expensive) 😊
Yep, SS goes from 1 to 1/4000
Plz can you guide from which store you bought the phone? I have been hunting but is not available
I live in Middle East & sony phones are discontinued in ME...
I want to buy this online
When available in India
Between the Xperia 10 III to Moto G 100? Who is the best?
I personally would go for the G100 as it has better specs and a more powerful chipset plus its only £50 more.
Greetings from Suriname again.
How's about an unbox and review of the RealMe GT 5G???
Beautiful design...
He forgot to mention how many security updates and how many Android system updates will the Sony Xperia 10 iii will receive.
I see Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, I clicked
Not so much talking about DSEE Ultimate with 3.5mm jack. I believe one who buy this phone expect to use it as music player (with 1TB microSD) rather than how good of its camera.
Hi Chris, how did you change the theme color and icon shapes? I don't see the options in my Xpeira 5 II's developer settings... :(
Buying it is worth ❓🤔 suggestions
The best Sir
just heard that oneplus and oppo have joined together
Press the fingerprint button twice to the bottom to bring up the camera.
A shame there is no Game Mode but is there still HS Power Control in the settings somewhere perhaps? Missing that would be a deal breaker.
How is performance this phone and how many hours battery life this phone,tell me brother,video is good iam watching very happy
OMG This is very good phone!
Sony mobiles can be kept has spare for music.
On my 10 iii, that little button in the lower right side is a Google assistant button, not for the camera
In my country 2nd price of this is only 150$ should i buy it?
Awesome 👏🏻 Phone 📱
