Design

The Xperia 10 II has a plastic frame and Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for the screen and back panel. The earpiece, front-facing camera, notification LED and various sensors are housed in the top bezel. The power button/fingerprint sensor and volume rocker are located on the right side of the device, while the 3.5 mm headphone jack is located on the top. The rear cameras are located at the upper left-hand corner of the phone, with the LED flash above. The bottom edge has the primary microphone and a downward-firing speaker next to the USB-C port. It is rated IP65/IP68 dust/water-proof up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. Black and white color options were shown at launch; Mint Green and Berry Blue finishes were later introduced in May.

Specifications

Hardware

The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC and the Adreno 610 GPU. It is available with 4 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage. MicroSD card expansion is supported up to 1 TB with a single-SIM or hybrid dual-SIM setup. The display is the same size and resolution as the 10, using a 6-inch (150 mm) 21:9 1080p (1080 × 2520) display which results in a pixel density of 457 px/in, however an OLED panel is used instead of the 10's IPS LCD panel. The 10 II has a 3600 mAh battery which can be recharged at up to 18 W via the USB-C port. A triple camera setup is present on the rear, with a 13 Mpx primary sensor with PDAF, an 8 Mpx telephoto sensor and an 8 Mpx ultrawide sensor. The front-facing camera has an 8 Mpx sensor.
