In 2019, Sony is mixing up its design, attempting to stand out among the sea of familiarity. Instead of emulating Samsung with punch hole cameras, they decided to target a rare section of the market, content consumers. There's the Xperia 1 for those who want the best, and the Xperia 10 and 10 Plus for the budget crowd.It seems like Sony saw our list of the best budget phones for streaming and are trying to return to the number one position. Instead of the usual 18:9 or 19.5:9 aspect ratio, Sony opted for a 21:9 screen. At this ratio, the phone is much longer than its competitors. But it is also perfect for those who enjoy watching movies, as this is a common the aspect ratio used in films. What does that mean exactly? Well, now you can watch movies in widescreen without any cropping or vertical black bars, making for a better experience.Jump to a section: Standout Features | Dates | Storage | Price | Body | Basics | Software | Skin | Display | Performance | Battery | Front Camera | Rear Camera | Audio | Media Formats | Sensors | Connectivity | Security | Box Includes | Accessories
