Sony Xperia 10 II Full Specifications, Price and Release Date

Sony was among the first companies, after LG, which confirmed that it would not go to the MWC, it also announced that its event planned for the fair would be streaming. So, true to its annual appointment, the Japanese manufacturer presented today the new generation of its high-end, just a few days after launching the Xperia L4.

Like last year, the Xperia 1 was accompanied by the Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus, Sony's new flagship, the Xperia 1 II, has come from the hand of a mid-range model: the Xperia 10 II (pronounced "Xperia 10 Mark II, like the cameras.) Let's see the characteristics of the latter, which, among other developments for its predecessor, includes a triple rear camera. Of course, this time, it arrives without a Plus variant.

The second generation of the Xperia 10 once again opts for a 6-inch FullHD + screen with a 21: 9 format, but in this case, it is an OLED panel with Triluminos Display technology, the same that we find in the manufacturer's Bravia TVs. Also, both the front and the back of the new phone have Corning Gorilla Glass for strength.

Inside, we have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, an octa-core chipset with 240 Gryo 240 and 2 GHz cores, in addition to an 11 nm LPP construction and the Adreno 610 GPU. It is accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, which also represents a jump from its predecessor, which had 3 and 64 GB respectively.

We go now with the photographic section, where the Xperia 10 II is committed to a triple rear camera composed of a main sensor of 12 megapixels (26 mm) with PDAF, a telephoto lens of 8 megapixels (52 mm) and an ultra-wide-angle lens of 8 megapixels (16 mm). This camera also has a night mode and is capable of recording 4K video in 21: 9 panoramic format.

The front camera, meanwhile, has a single sensor of 8 megapixels, as in the previous model. Where there is an important leap is in the battery, as this new Sony model includes a 3,600 mAh battery with Xperia Adaptive Charging technology (adaptive charging).

Finally, it is worth mentioning the design section, where it has the IP65 / 68 certification of resistance to water and dust, and that of sound, where it boasts Sony's wireless LDAC audio technology to transmit Hi-Res audio without losing quality. All this in a body that has reduced its thickness to 8.2 mm and its weight to 151 g.

Price and Release Date

Sony has confirmed that its new Xperia 10 II will be available in the spring of this year in two different colors: white or black. It will be sold in a single configuration with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage. At the moment, there are no details about the price.

Xperia 10 II Rear Camera

The rear camera of the smartphone is usually placed on its back and can be combined with one or more additional cameras.

Sensor Model

Manufacturer and model of the image sensor used by camera of the smartphone.

Sony Exmor RS

Sensor type 

The most common types of sensors on smartphones are CMOS, BSI, ISOCELL, etc.

CMOS

ISO

ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. Image sensors operate within a specific ISO range. The higher the ISO rating is, the more sensitive to light the sensor is.

100 - 12800

Sensor format

The image sensor format is the shape and size of the image sensor. It is usually expressed in inches.

1/2.6"

Pixel size

Pixels are the basic building blocks of digital photography: they are the individual elements that capture light to compensate for your image. Pixels are usually measured in microns (μm). Generally, the higher the sensor size, the greater the pixel size, the greater the pixel size. The more light you can take, the better your photo.

1.4 µm (micrometers)

Aperture

The aperture is an opening or a hole through which light passes. Aperture controls the brightness of the image that travels through the lens and falls on the image sensor. The lower the f-stop number, the larger the diaphragm opening is, hence, the more light reaches the sensor. Usually, the f-stop number specified is the one that corresponds to the maximum possible diaphragm opening.

f/1.6

Focal Length

The focal length is the distance between the lens and the image sensor when the subject is in focus, usually stated in millimeters. The 35 mm equivalent indicates the focal length at which a full-frame camera will achieve an angle of view that's the same as the one of the camera of the mobile device. It is measured by multiplying the native focal length of the camera by the crop factor of the sensor. The crop factor itself can be determined as the ratio between the diagonal distances of the image sensor in the 35 mm camera and a given sensor.

4.26 mm

26 mm *(35 mm / full frame)

Field of view

In photography, the Field of view (FoV) depends not only on the focal length of the lens but also on the sensor size. It is derived from the lens's angle of view and the sensor's crop factor. The lens's angle of view is a measure of the angle between the two farthest separated points within the frame measured diagonally. Simply put, this is how much of a scene in front of the camera will be captured by the camera's sensor.

78 ° (degrees)

Flash Type

The rear cameras of mobile devices use mainly a LED flash. It may arrive in a single, dual- or multi-light setup and in different arrangements.

Dual LED

Image Resolution
