In April, Apple sold the "iPhone SE", which can be bought for 44, 800 yen (excluding tax), and mid-range smartphones ranging from 40, 000 to 50, 000 yen attracted a lot of attention. With the expansion of novel coronavirus infection, it may affect more and more users to consider replacing with high-performance and affordable mobile phones that can telecommute smoothly.
In the Android camp, the "Xperia Ace" sold by companies such as NTT DoCoMo since 2019, and the "Xperia8" that has joined the lineup such as au, the Sony Xperia series of intermediate smartphones are very popular. The high-profile "Xperia10II (Experia10II)", which inherits the essence of the top model, was released in the summer of 2020. I want to try the strength of the latest midfield smartphone in the series.
High picture quality of organic EL displays cultivated in TV production
The Xperia10II uses a "21: 9" wide-screen display, whose size is almost the same as the aspect ratio of the film. The resolution will be full HD + organic EL.
Making full use of widescreen content is very immersive, and in addition to movies released on Netflix and Amazon prime videos, you can also enjoy the latest mobile games such as "Call of Duty:Mobile" on the 21: 9 widescreen. The corresponding content will also be increased in the future.
There are many smartphones with 6-inch large organic EL monitors, but polite "painting" techniques and tricks show a difference in picture quality.
Xperia uses the display high-quality technology "Triminus display for mobile" developed through the development of the Sony TV "Bravia" series. Reproduce natural bright colors and lifelike fine stereoscopic images on a 6-inch organic EL display.
Especially in mid-range smartphones, there are many products with uneven tone balance and uneven light and shade. The natural oneness of the image will also ease the burden on the eyes when watching entertainment content. In the case of Xperia 10II, by taking advantage of the compact black reproduction ability of organic EL features, we have successfully provided depth for displays that are supposed to be flat. By comparing it with the display machine in the store, Xperia10II should know the standard of "smartphone high-definition" that users should pursue. The same is true in the picture quality comparison between the host computer "Xperia1II" and other mobile phones.
The technology of α / network lens is also actively used in the camera.
The Xperia 10II is a series of mid-range smartphones equipped with a three-lens camera for the first time.
Use the ultra-wide-angle / standard / telescope lenses with different focal lengths to enjoy the "change lens" feeling of the DSLR camera separately, and at the same time you can simply take photos with an atmosphere. In addition, the scenery photos and powerful portraits you want to take during the trip can be easily taken with your mobile phone, which is a great advantage to have an ultra-wide-angle lens.
The "advanced managed automatic" shooting function of Xperia10II is excellent. The camera automatically recognizes the subject from 13 scenes, such as cooking, characters, night scenes, macro (close-ups), and so on. In addition, the state of the phone is suitable for four modes, such as "fixed state" and "walking = hand-held photography". Choose the best setting instantly. Users only need to preview the composition on the screen and click the shutter icon to take beautiful photos.
The mid-range mobile phone users around the author are particularly dissatisfied with the "camera performance". The camera is frequently used by many users, so I think we should choose a good mobile phone while considering the picture quality and ease of use.
Sony has many years of experience in digital cameras represented by alpha and network lenses. On the basis of fully understanding the characteristics of the image sensor developed by our company, the picture quality is carefully adjusted for each type of machine. The user interface that you use without hesitation also feels good.
Audio is the essence of Sony. The same high sound quality technology as the Walkman
Xperia Voice is the audio manufacturer that Sony can best realize its potential. Compared with other companies' smartphones, anyone's ear can know, and the difference in the amount of information will be highlighted.
The built-in speakers are arranged on the left and right side of the horizontal display side, opposite to the user. The dialogue between movie and TV actors watching on Netflix is very easy to hear, and you can also feel the rich sense of encirclement brought about by sound effects.
Recently, Xperia10II installed a 3.5mm analog headphone Jack, which is often omitted to make the body slimmer. Directly connect wired headphones with 3.5mm audio terminals without the need to install a conversion adapter in between. For example, a high-resolution sound source has the advantage of reducing video and audio latency compared to using wireless headphones when enjoying high sound quality or mobile game content.
The Xperia10II also includes the tricks Sony has developed in the music player Walkman, including the ability to enjoy the LDAC equivalent of high-resolution wireless playback and the conversion of content with less than high-resolution audio quality into high-resolution DSEE HX. Can feel the air of natural music and spread the sound even if listening for a long time will not be tired, so you can also feel the charm when watching movies and games.
Can intelligently use UI with a 21: 9 large screen
It is very convenient to split the "multi-window" function of two applications at the same time on a 21-to-9 widescreen display. Xperia10II has added a "multi-window switch" that allows you to switch applications by swiping each screen left and right.
With optimized high-speed CPU and main memory, you can quickly start applications and enter characters. About 3600mAh battery, through the unique "cold charging" function of Xperia, restrain the deterioration of the battery and have a long life. The comfortable size suitable to the palm of the hand with a width of 69 mm and a mass of about 151g is IPX5/IPX8, which is equivalent to the waterproof and dustproof of IP6X. There are calm color changes chosen by male and female users as the main machines.
The 5G communication service will be launched in China from this year. However, the absolutely necessary content of 5G support is not complete. While having the stability of 4G communication, Xperia10II, which pays attention to video and music playback and camera creation, can be said to be a mobile phone that can be active in the hands of users for a long time in the future.
