impressive battery optimisation... never thought they will push it even further, might be because of soc?
camera outputs are better than the previous 10...
for performance? looks like it is on par with pixel 5...
good value, imo... but i would still choose a flagship, but not this year, i already spent a lot on 1ii... ha ha... so i guess, 1iv will be my next... though 1iii is tempting i must admit...
as for the 10iii, i will definitely recommend it to my friends who are looking for a small phone with looong battery life (unless zenfone 8 lasts longer), a relatively small phone and a performance similar to pixel 5, possibly for those wanting high color accuracy...
that 7.5w is just ideal for overnight charge too... sadly, on some markets, they really provide 7.5w... some sellers in taiwan are just kind enough to include a "non sony" 30w charger...

Units last year were shipped with 18W charger.
Also, the battery health tools slow down charging after 50%.
Using 7,5 or 30W would not change much, maybe 20-30 min.
Apple and Samsung do same.
0-50% is way faster than 51-100%.

That is better calibration than samsung flagships.
This one is obviously better than mark 2.
Also, Sony made $240 million profit with Xperia.
Average selling price was $1050.
This means most of clients are getting 1 and 1ii over cheaper models.

"The charger is rated at a lowly 7.5 watts, and that low of a value we haven't seen in a while."
Sony as usual cutting corners. Even 200€ device comes with 65W charger bundled, no wonder they got reduced from 34 million phones sold in 2014 to meagre 1.5 million in 2019

if i say that the poco f3 is an overall better recommendation to this phone, the sony fanboys will attack.
why?
because the f3 has:
amoled 120hz screen
snapdragon 870 (with 5g and is better than the 690)
33w charging (much faster than sony's charger)
much better overall availability
cheaper price ($300 to $370)
and it also has great software support (xiaomi's software support has been improved a lot)
i had some valid points but the sony fanboys will still attack.
i don't get the pure hatred of someone just suggesting a better device for cheaper price, then defending the other brand because it's more "professional" and "premium"
i'd get the f3 instead
with a much better software support.
sony's services are non existent in SEA.
i'll get attacked by the sony fanboys, for sure after saying this statement.

5 III might be better deal after all, it might fix rest stuff that were bad on 10 III.
OLED on 10 III (LG, BOE?) vs AMOLED on 5 and 1 III (from Samsung)

Disappointing screen performance. Still a solid offer. Too bad Sony is pushing themselves out of the market by grossly overpricing and/or limited availability.
Do they hate money making?

When comparing this phone to alternatives 1 main drawback to one of the competitors is always forgotten.
Samsung blocks all the good Bluetooth codecs unless you use a Samsung headphone.

Nice upgrade over last year's version. That battery life is crazy, Sony is basically the only Android OEM that manages to rival with or exceed Apple in that regard. Respect. Definitely a solid mid-ranger, especially worth it with the pre-order bonus.

Crazy battery!
My Mi Note 10 Lite has 5260mah battery with 117h rating, around 21h video playback, this one has 4500mah 137(!)h rating 26h video playback.
Some awesome optimizations.

Ace 2 has same battery, HD screen and no 5G.
Easily would easily be near 150h.

Review is great gsmarena. In the performance section, don't just show the benchmarks. You should also add the gaming performance of the reviewed Phone in the performance section. Along with the names of the game that you played and the graphics/frame rates they were played at. Please add this in the performance section guys. Only showing the benchmarks doesn't tell the whole story.
If and when it launches in India, would strongly consider buying it!

Well, so dies the mighty Xperia 10 III... It seemed so impressive at first, but in the end it was a tragedy. The slowest chipset (barely comparable to A52, totally beaten by the A52 5G and others), tragic camera setup (all of them) and very slow charging times are way too much compromise. Long battery times and smaller size (by a few milimeters) are not enough.
I was thinking about buying Xperia 10 III, instead I go for A52.
