Editorial report

Sony Xperia 10 III Lite technical sheet

The Sony Xperia 10 III Lite suits people looking for a light phone with water and dust resistance and a sharp display. Its main trade-off is 64 GB of storage, less than most phones of its time. Storage is expandable, but the starting capacity may be restrictive for anyone keeping many apps and files on the phone. The 4500 mAh battery supports 30 W charging; its capacity is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. At 169 g, however, the phone weighs less than most of its contemporaries.

Its 6-inch OLED display has a density of 457 ppi, among the highest for phones launched around the same time. For photography, the 2x optical zoom is among the best; the 12 MP camera has lower resolution than most, and its 1/2.8-inch sensor is smaller than those in many phones of its time. Overall, the camera is typical. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera and an 8 MP front camera.

The Xperia 10 III Lite includes 5G, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and Nano-SIM + eSIM. Overall, it is typical of phones launched around the same time and has a NeoScore of 5.4. It is a suitable choice for people who prioritize low weight, high display density, and optical zoom, and accept limited storage and a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time.
