The Sony Xperia 10 III has a triple camera set-up on the rear with a 12MP wide lens (aperture 1.8), an 8MP ultrawide lens (aperture 2.2) and an 8MP telephoto lens (aperture 2.4) with 2x optical zoom.

These camera specs are adequate for the price, but if we look at Sony Xperia 10 III comparison alongside devices from other manufacturers, it isn't the best camera module around.

On the front of the camera there is an 8MP selfie camera with a 24mm wide lens (aperture 2.0). This can record video in 1080p at 30 fps.

Display

The Sony Xperia 10 III display is a tall one with a diagonal range of 6.0". It comes with an aspect ratio of 21:9, something that is useful for browsing but may be too narrow for watching videos and gaming regularly.

Any Sony Xperia 10 III comparison to other handsets should consider the 60Hz refresh rate. This means the screen refreshes its images 60 times per second. This is half of the refresh speed of higher end models, although it should be sufficient for most users.

The display is a Full HD OLED panel.

Storage

Only one storage option is available for the Sony Xperia 10 III: 128GB. This lack of choice isn't unique to this device, but it may be frustrating for customers who would prefer more internal storage.

It is possible to expand the internal storage of the Sony Xperia 10 III by using a microSD card as the device supports microSDXC. This can be a good way of increasing the storage capacity of the Sony Xperia 10 III. Alternatively, customers may want to compare Sony Xperia 10 III deals with other devices with higher storage capacities.

Design

The Sony Xperia 10 III offers a classic Sony design that is easy to handle. It is protected on the front and rear by Gorilla Glass 6, one tier below Corning's most prestigious tier of protection.

While the Sony Xperia 10 III is a large phone that still manages to feel slim in the hand due to its narrow aspect ratio.

Four colours are available for the Sony Xperia 10 III: Black, White, Blue and Pink.
