Revision history [back]

I've had the n808, N9, Jolla, JollaC, lumia 1020, Xperia x and now xperia 10 plus. I've rebelled against google and apple so once I got to smartphones I've had Symbian^3, Meego, Windows and Sailfish.

Xperia x has been with me for a couple of years now, and even if my main driver is a feature phone I try to have a couple of sailfish devices just to support the existence of alternatives. So after a few hours with the 10p how does it fare against the xperia x?

Pros: 1) Usb C 2) 21:9 screen (I love it) 3) 2 sim and separate SD slot 4) 3.5mm jack

Cons: 1) Screen colours are not as vivid, and crisp as xperia x, no triluminous display here and it shows! 10p is horrible by comparison 2) Sailfish fails to use the aspect ratio so camera and other apps have huge black boxes on the screen 3) Resolution seems stretched so icons do not look as crisp or clean this added to pt 1 makes for a horrid display in comparison to xperia x 4) No front facing speakers 5) No stereo speakers 6) Dual camera is wasted, a whole lens is not used

So there you have it that is my initial impression of 10p vs X. Unless you want a bigger screen and like the aspect and do not care of losing the triluminous display do not buy the 10p.

Cheers.
