ABF Media, 18 Nov 2021Did you say the same when mobile CPUs were getting faster??? After realise of snap 8 gen 1. (Maybe)

    The dream is coming true. Next up, charging to full in 1 minute and then 10 seconds.

You can put all the features you mentioned without compromising on the main parts. Sony could have a easily put better cameras(atleast the main sensor), display and processor. It was cost cutting at finest.

        So if someone want compact phone without notch, which he can cary even if he wear skin jeans, with longer battery life, 3.5mm jack and sd card, will you recomend Poco F3?

          Hemedans, 20 Nov 2021Easy thing to look is video playback, its one thing which r... moreDo you even understand that flagship processor will obviously consume more battery overall?? Compared to Snapdragon 690?

          Also Xperia 10 III has a smaller dim panel, so obviously it will give more hours of video playback.
          Most people will rather prefer watching videos on the poco f3's proper high grade brighter panel for 20hrs over Xperia dim panel for 26hr.
          Screen is also bigger and touch experience is 360hz which makes a huge difference while operating the device and making the overall video viewing experience much better.

          The display, camera and performance are all behind the Xperia by a long mile.
          Hence proving my point that Sony isn't putting premium hardware in phones below 400€ while Chinese manufacturers are indeed giving premium goodies in that price category.

            Anonymous, 20 Nov 2021"poco F3 dont have usb 3.1, its bloated, dont have ip6... moreEasy thing to look is video playback, its one thing which refresh rate dont affect, and poco F3 review gsmarena said It play video with 60hz.

            Xperia 10 III last 26Hours in Video playback, while poco F3 last 19 hours, 7 hours different thats a lot.

              ABF Media, 20 Nov 2021Poco f3 is overall much better and a best seller for this v... moreI never say xperia 10 III is overall better or sell more than Poco F3 you said that, my point since the begining xperia 10 III provide something which no phone has, it has its own pros and niche market.

              What you guys want all over the world to judge things according to your standards,

              Poco F3 appeal to people who want perfomance thats it, but not everyone in world has same uses you should understand that. Some want durable pocket phone with longer battery life, your poco wont fit that category.

                Its not bloated.

                It's not bulky and heavy, that would be Mi 11 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro Max or S21 Ultra.

                Battery life is similar if you run poco f3 at 60hz and Lower brightness like Xperia 10 III.

                People don't care about 3.5mm jack or SD card or USB 3.1 so much.
                They can easily get 3.5mm jack and SD card in budget phones but if camera, display and performance aren't upto the mark for 380€ price, people aren't going to go for Xperia 10 III.

                  Hemedans, 20 Nov 2021poco F3 dont have usb 3.1, its bloated, dont have ip65 rati... morePoco f3 is overall much better and a best seller for this very reason.
                  It's not even a competiton. Gsmarena long term review supports my views.

                  And who said anything about Antutu? The Snapdragon 690 is nowhere close to the Snapdragon 870. It's like comparing the engine inside a budget car to the engine inside a sports car. Your Xperia will be outdated after 2 years solely based on crappy performance, Poco F3 will run smooth for next 5 years guaranteed.

                  No one cares about USB 3.1 dude. Stop the nitpicking.
                  Sony shill will never accept Chinese phones as the better overall phone.
                  You can stop embarrassing yourself further.. I am done wasting my time on some Sony shill who is so jealous of premium fast charging on other brand phones that he has to invent lies about them.

                    it make sense to buy F3 if you need that perfomance and display quality.

                    but still xperia 10 III has lot of strong point to differentiate itself with any other phone. not everyone worship Antutu and other benchmarks.

                      i0S.- Never.- Again, 19 Nov 2021It's a budget-midrange device that didn't even su... moreHe is a Sony fanboy which is why he simply can't digest chinese brands giving better quality batteries and fast charging capabilities. The grapes are sour for these guys.
                      And you were right, it's always the slow charging brigade complaining about ultra fast charging even though they can simply stick to 5W charging to pacify the panic attack they get when they see budget realme devices charge to 100% in half an hour.
                      Their logic is that if it's Chinese and performing so well with less heat produced than 20W charging, then there must be a catch... Ohhh...they must degrade batteries faster (as usual... broad claims with no proof)

                        Hemedans, 19 Nov 2021Xperia 10 III has endurance of more than 130H in Gsmarena T... more130hr of endurance using lower mid range chip and 60hz display is nothing to brag about.

                        Look at the poco f3, it costs the same or cheaper than Xperia 10 III and comes with flagship 870 chip and still gives 114hr endurance with 120hz brighter panel.

                        So many other phones at that price coming with dimensity 1200 and other flagship chips.
                        Snapdragon 690 on phone costing 380 euros is the biggest scam Sony tried to pull off... Fortunately, the average buyer is smarter than you and can see through their real eyes, they don't see the world through the Sony tinted glasses.

                          Hemedans, 20 Nov 2021Which device has sd 690 for $200 Op Nord N10 is close compe... moreThey might not have sd690 since it isn't a popular chip. But they have tons of equally powerful or better chips at 200$ price point.

                          Xperia 10 III was a trash phone with zero justification for its price.
                          This is why Chinese brands given Sony such a bad beating in markets all over the world, such a bad beating that Sony ran scared and stopped selling phones in those countries altogether.
                          You Xperia fannboys will never accept Chinese phones as better because of your cheap outdated mentality that Chinese phones are always inferior to big brands.
                          You still think LG and Sony are big brands in smartphone world...??? tells me one thing that you are still trapped in year 2013. This is why you can't accept those Chinese brands giving better quality batteries and faster charging capabilities.

                            i0S.- Never.- Again, 19 Nov 2021It's a budget-midrange device that didn't even su... moreWhich device has sd 690 for $200 Op Nord N10 is close competitor and has msrp of $300, and sd 690 will lose in Multicore because it has only two perfomance core (thats why it didnt reach score you want in Antutu) but it has respectable single core perfomance (over 600 in Geekbench) which differentiate with lot of soc,

                            And for some people usb 3.1 matters more than anything you need usb 3.1 to get hdmi passthrough and connect your phone with monitors and tons of accessories. Device with usb 3.1 can practically be console, together with emulators you can connect controller and tv wired and play anyhting from Nes Era to wii.

                            And i ask before which device give this kind of perfomance and has same battery life as 10 III? In whole Gsmarena Test only this Xperia and some lowend/weak midrange with huge screen offer this batterylife.

                            You guys mentality wants all phones in the world to look and have same specs, there are thousands of midrange which offer same specs you mentioned/wants, but Sony went different way and offer things which no one bother to implement, but you guys still are butthurt and wats it to look and have same specs of other devices.

                            Xperia 10 series are part of open device 10 II already has sailfish os port and other linux based os, soon 10 III will receive. Also has no notch, great build quality and water resistant definetely it has its own domain where no one can match its offering.

                              Stop acting like the cortex A77 inside the Snapdragon 690 is a world beater.
                              Chinese brands are giving flagship processor at that price. You realize that flagship processor comes with faster ram, gpu and faster storage?? thereby improving performance by a mile. Sony as usual cutting costs and giving chipset worthy of being inside devices below 200$.

                              The screen is subpar even according to mid range phone standards.

                              The cameras are absolutely terrible for the price.
                              I can understand not having good Ultrawide or telephoto but even the main camera fails and pales against competition.

                              Don't forget the laughable support or lack of availability that comes with buying Sony phones.

                              Display, camera & performance matters a lot more than USB 3.1.
                              The Xperia 10 III skips premium hardware in the most important areas.

Can you name any chinese phone which has atleast cortex A77 cores and offer that endurance in that compactness?

                                  Xperia 10 III has usb 3.1 which is rare to Chinese models, even Xiaomi models which cost over 1000 Euro has usb 2.0. Only Oppo if am not mistaken offer usb 3.1 in midrange.

                                      It costs around 385 euros and just look at the hardware provided by Sony vs hardware provided by Chinese brands in phones that cost under 400 euros.
                                      Tell me which one is using premium hardware?

                                        We'll believe you when you get battery capacity claims analyzed by independent labs which actually employ professional tools for testing.

                                        We are not interested in some screenshot or benchmark tool or app or some claims made over reddit with no way of verifying them.
                                        Get the capacity tested by an independent testing authority.... Most probably the same ones that tested oppo and Xiaomi battery capacities after 800 charge cycles.
