Guest review. The Sony Xperia 10 by Liam Burke #Sony #Xperia10

Liam Burke is a regular contributor here when it comes to Sony in Particular check out his findings on the Sony Xperia 10 and then the L3.

I was lucky to get to try out two of Sony Mobile’s latest offerings the Xperia X10 and the Xperia L3.

Sony have changed from its current design back to more of its traditional designs probably due to the return of the side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Sony have definitely embraced dual rear cameras as they are on both devices.

Xperia 10

Sony’s new Xperia 10 is definitely something new from them it has their new “cinematic” 21:9 6’’ inch display which is aimed at multi-tasking and viewing video. It’s a long tall phone and Sony have slimmed down the bottom bezel so there is quiet a lot of that 21:9 cinema screen in the phone. Its great value for money for a mid-range device.

It’s a bit of an unusual shape to hold in the hand as its more narrower than current phones and taller but after a few days of use you do become accustomed to it.

Making a welcome return from previous Sony phones is the side-mounted fingerprint sensor which I found very ergonomic to be able to unlock the phone with my thumb also on the side of the phone is a separate power button and a volume rocker.

On top you find the headphone jack and one of two microphones, on the side is a flap which covers the nano sim tray and also a microsd tray (Supports up to 512GB).And on the bottom is the now standard USB-C connection and the mono speaker. The rear surface is a metal surface with led flash and the dual camera lens just a millimeter raised above it.

Screen

The screen is the main item that sets the Xperia 10 apart from the competition is its 6’’ Full HD+ LCD but with the ultra-widescreen aspect ratio 21:9 the ultra wide display is certainly different. Sony has commented that as more and more content is being shot in that ratio (nearly 70% of new Netflix and Amazon Prime) so you will get the full effect of it with its 21:9 display. When viewing new content from Netflix its great not to have the any of the screen wasted also as it’s a HD+ screen I found it gave plenty of detail and videos looked sharp. Using the outside in sunlight the screen was quite readable. The screen is made with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 so it should withstand drops and scratches.

Audio

As there’s a headphone jack on the phone you can use your own wired headphones and if they have in-line controls that worked for me without any problem.Also included is an FM Radio it performed quite well but it will need headphones plugged into the phone as it uses them as the FM antenna. The Xperia 10 only has one music speaker it performed reasonably as Sony have added High-Res Audio.

Camera:-

The camera setup is a dual 13 Mega Pixel (1/3.0 sensor size, Pixel Pitch 1.12 μm, F2.0 Lens) and a 5 Mega Pixel (1/4.0 sensor size, Pixel Pitch 1.4 μm, F2.4 Lens) The updated camera app is very quick to launch and the layout of the settings is clear and easy to understand.

In daylight conditions it took decent shots and while zooming the pictures didn’t introduce too much noise also included are modes Bokeh, Portrait Selfie which is an artistic selfie with Bokeh included with other face effects , Panorama and a Manual setting which allows you to tweak the photo settings to your personal tastes, for most of my pictures I let the Auto mode chose which were the correct settings to use.

Lowlight and flash samples

5 x Zoom is quiet good with the dual camera setup. In indoor conditions with less light I did find the pictures were a bit grainy. Video records in 4K and while outside videos shot in daylight recorded in good quality I found indoor videos with less light to be a little grainy the coloring to be slightly off the actual colors and zooming does introduce some loss of detail. 120fps Slow Motion Video is also a nice video recording feature.

Zoom example.

The front camera in outside light took good quality pictures while inside in dark conditions it took decent selfies as uses a screen flash. Front video records in Full HD it also has Sony’s Steadyshot feature for videos recording so they aren’t too bumpy.

Battery

The battery capacity in the Xperia 10 is good sized 2870mAh.Some battery features are “Battery care” which learns your battery charging habits and adapts how the phone charges again this helps increase the lifespan of the battery. Smart stamina and Stamina mode are also included which you can enable to restrict some background activity and increase your battery life, and if you need it there is an Ultra Stamina Mode which enables only a few apps like phone and camera to giving you an extra long battery life.

I found the battery able to handle a day of heavy use no problem.

Performance

The Xperia 10 runs Android Pie out of the box Sony uses it own lightly skinned version of Android the updated homescreen app is a bit of mix of iOS and android with the swipe up gesture to see your running apps.As the phones runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor with 3GB RAM its quiet fast and overall the phone was quiet responsive. Internal memory is 64GB so you may need a memory card as installed apps (of which there isn’t too many) took up 16GB.

Also included is the Side sense feature which allows you to select a part of the screen to bring up shortcuts, I found this feature a bit of a hit-or-miss. Split Screen feature is a feature that all Google apps like YouTube, Chrome, Messaging, Phone etc allow you to split the screen in two so the top part of the screen can be one app like YouTube and the lower part can have another app open like Chrome.

Review – The EOZ air true wireless bluetooth earbuds. #EOZair #Earbuds #Tech

The EOZ air true wireless earbuds are certainly a pair of true wireless buds that are worth every penny of the asking price with what you get.There is many types of these available now and they are the trend but what you get for your hard earned cash is another matter with prices of these at all levels some do not pass the test yet some do even at a lower cost.

I have said before the cost to performance ratio is now another trend and these fit nicely in here as a complete package with premium build quality and great sound all round and up to 90 Hrs battery life which is certainly one of the higher ones I have seen or tested of late and this is a win win for the consumer who has long commutes to work etc.

These also look stealthy which is nice and fit nicely in the ear,in fact they are one of the best fitting I have seen in a while and will not move,you can literally do somersaults in these and they will not budge. These also come with comply foam tips which are the best in the business sealing the outside world with a comfortable fit ensuring you capture the great sounds coming from the inside rather than hearing what’s on the outside.

Check out the unboxing and video review below and tell us what you think or do you already have a pair of these…

Review – D-Link Indoor/Outdoor wireless security system. #DLink #Security #Tech #CCTV

The D-Link home security system is another example of getting the job done right and simple without the need for a huge technical knowledge or a registered contractor to come fit it in your home which again costs more money on top of a more conventional CCTV system which can run into thousands and in some cases having holes and wires drilled all over your house,there is no need for it today for the average household but that is subjective.

In any case just like cars or any mode of transport I always say invest in a dashcam it will someday repay you and the same applies to you house security, You should invest in some form of camera system and with what’s on offer here and what is out there it won’t break the bank and you will be glad someday as not only is it a piece of mind its a good deterrent too.

The D-Link home system is certainly one to check out so look at what you get inside first..

The benefits here is an easy setup be it installing it as it can be just placed on a counter or in a shelf or you can place it outside using the minimal tools to mount on a wall or fence if you choose to do the latter place it high up if you can.. You can use the provided brackets to mount on a wall,fence or wherever suits which again requires little skill and tools and just place it as is and not only that its portable and you can make use of the mounts and place them in several places which can be hidden or made visible for potential criminals to warn them off.

Looking for a new job in IT or tech,click the image below..

Everyone’s set up will differ but with this package you can make full use of the arm and brackets provided as the cameras simply just stick on with a magnet you could not ask for easier and you can then set them up by testing the field of view via the app which again is a simple process to set up which just requires your router a power outlet and the rest is all provided in the box and once you have the app installed just follow the on-screen instructions and you are good to go,there is also good tutorials online should you run into issues and of course you can ask us for help should you need it..

The app itself provides you with all you need to get the most of the camera modules with the pack I got I got two modules but you can add more if you like which is great so you can set up a complete home system with the one app and one system which is great four would of sealed it for me and they should make a package in set up like that which would make the deal even sweeter and give you a definitive piece of mind as you may be limited with just the two but as mentioned you can buy additional modules on the go if you wish..

The options in the app are also great as to what you can do with the footage and how you can manage things and its all simple you can see more in the app walkthrough below and again if you have any questions feel free to ask. The camera quality is excellent and there is two way audio so you can also communicate or confront with this should you get an intruder in your home or premises and there is also a built in alarm just to rub it in some more should you have to use it to fend off intruders.

Simplicity is key here and this package offers just that from set-up,installation and options within the app and this is how it should be if you want something that takes minutes to install and have set up and no need to wait for a professional installation this is certainly one system to check out and gets my approval. To top it off you get 12 months free cloud storage which is something you don’t see to often and you have excellent battery life which means less effort and they are rechargeable so you can charge at home when they run low and not fear of having a window of opportunity for a breach in your premises or home.

Stills from camera night and day..

1 / 6

One small bit of advice is keep it as near as possible when outside to your router as newer house builds can cause interference with any wifi setups and this could be seen in one of the videos where it lagged and again depending on time with contention this will also affect the coverage/recordings

Review – The Skullcandy PUSH True Wireless earphones. #Tech #Skullcandy #TrueWireless #earphones

As much as I like my headphones I am really getting into the true wireless in ears these days now and have a great collection of such which is catching up with my huge headphone collection but they are not something that will totally replace headphones in general in my opinion.

The Skullcandy Venue are certainly one to look at and we have reviewed those here so be sure to check those out if you need some new cans but if you want some true wireless earbuds these are another contender to check out as they tick all my boxes.

Again well presented in a nice package these come with USB-C which is the right step to take these days and you also get a nice little charging case than can extend your battery life which is important if you are one on the go be it for commuting or training.

There is much talk about Apple and their Airpods which i have tried and they just don’t cut it volume wise and are too expensive and these are priced much better offering a better soundstage from my testing,not only that I think Airpods look ridiculous and some brands now follow suit with design but we do have some similar options coming out way but not looking like Airpods and its a thing we will have the get use too like it or not but thankfully Skullcandy have chosen a simple look and design with great execution.

These fit well in the ears and will not budge which was my main concern when the likes came along with other brands and now that I have tested countless pairs they have come along well since their inception and I tend to wear these alot when I go out now for a run or to the gym knowing they will not fall out like those Airpods do…

The fit is important and for some how they look and by size terms they are not too big nor too small compared to the many others I have tried but they are solid once in your ear which is great with the built in earwings.

Operational wise these follow the format of most with the one two or three taps to get things moving along and from my time of use they worked everytime as you would expect you can also get access to your voice assistant(three taps) should you use it. On pairing up for the first time you will press both earbuds together for about 5 seconds and you are good to go and reconnecting afterwards is very quick like the Venue.

The left side offers play and pause.volume down back track call/hang up and the right side again play and pause,volume up forward track. These do no auto pause when you remove them which is not a huge deal for me but some like that feature You can as mentioned use the tapping options to other important actions. One thing people ask quite often now is will such work individually and the answer here is yes but on the left side only meaning you can take calls and listen to music with one but not both ie you cant use the right side to do the same,the left side is the main earbud and the right tethers off it to keep it simple.

The sound signature here is once again good however not overly loud which is how I like my music as my follower know. First there is no lip latency as I call it when watching Netflix or You Tube,Across all genres from my playlist it was well balanced and an enjoyable listening experience overall even at high volumes there was no tinny sound or muffling to be found or any kind of distortion so overall I was happy bar the max volume level.Call quality is not on par with the Venue and at times I felt they were low and sometimes muffled. Again there is no app and i think its time skullcandy looked into this department as even cheaper brands are now doing it and it could add that bit more with EQ settings if your phone does not have one, Most don’t and we rely on third party apps which is some cases is quite useless. Nonetheless these overall are a great value for the price at posting 129 euros.

Review – The Skullcandy Venue headphones with ANC. #Skullcandy #Headphones #Tech

Skullcandy is a brand I remember well from my late teens then somewhat I never seen them around but realigned myself with the brand two years ago and what they have on offer is certainly something to consider the next time you purchase headphones from what I have tested in the past.

The Venue borrow the design from the Crusher Wireless which is arguably one of the best noise cancelling headphones out there alongside the bass which people tend to like these days but for anyone thats looking for some new cans these are certainly something you should consider and they can be picked up pretty cheap these days for around €100 or so if you shop around.

The Venue offer great comfort all round and also offer a great listening experience for those who want to pick some up. I have been testing these two weeks now with several devices and the audio is excellent and its loud which is how I like my music.

There is simple to use controls on the Venue on the left side you have your power on/off and you have the ANC option which you will never turn off unless you require it and we also have a battery indicator,On the right side you have volume controls and your I/Os which is a 3.5mm jack and micro USB though I would liked to have seen USB C but this is not a big issue. You also have volume play and pause. The monitor mode is also handy which means you do not have to remove your headphones to hear the outside world or stop and talk to someone.You will get the battery life claimed by the Skullycandy and depending on your personal needs which for me is a once a week charge which is fine but there is headphones out there that offer much more in this price range but in fairness we all tend to keep the likes of headphones topped up.The buttons are easy to navigate and tactile and are easy to use blindly and a nice rubber touch to them.

The sound signature is great it has to be said with all genres and from my track playlist which covers all music avenues inside and out and maxed out is where these shine and they offer really good base too which was nice to see. There is no app however which is something that would have been a bonus but you can use your own EQ or a third party to get that little bit extra should you not be entirely happy with the standard offering here. Another important factor to add is there is no lip latency with what you watch on your phone or tablet.

Comfort wise these are also great with a soft headband and cups to match and can be worn for long periods of time with no sweat issues but this might vary between people and the environment they are so for me it is indoors around the house or in bed catching up on my You Tube subs and listening to my playlists. The pairing process here is lighting fast and once you connect for the first time which is simple they pair instantaneously any other time with no dropouts at all and phone calls are crisp and clear too both ends on the few calls I got whilst using them. I also like the no robotic voice prompts on these which is not robotic.

The build quality is also robust and solid with a 90 degree swivel on both sides and some movement on the cups themselves to nestle nicely onto your head without that clamped feeling, Given they are mostly plastic with a matt finish they are solid and easy to maintain and should have a good long life once you take care of them and you do get a nice case to carry them in so there is no excuse to have these for at least two/three years or longer again this is down to the individual and how often they change cans but from my experince I still have the old crusher wireless and they still work and look like new so I cant see any difference here.

As seen above these come equipped with tile this is a great feature to have and all headphones should have this. Again a simple set up if you ever happen to misplace your cans at the office or home, it does happen…

Are they worth the wads (139 euro at the time of posting) is what you will ask next. Well yes Skullcandy have improved immensely over the years and with what’s on offer here as a whole is fair.

Review – The Sony Xperia 10. It delivers for its price. #Sony #Xperia10

The Sony Xperia 10 was a phone that when I seen it first I was like hmmm that new aspect ratio is odd but I was wrong after trying it out, In fact it is a great idea given the device is much taller but it just works, Well for me anyway.. The 21:9 is a new era in screen size which in fairness might suit some and not others but its a difference depending on how you use the device and what for but for me my phone is like a body part I need it for business and pleasure if you will.

I am not going to bore you with specs but have a look at the unboxing where I go through them and the UI all in one video…

The Xperia 10 is a mid range device so lets get that out of the way and even though it has a unique aspect ratio it would pass for a higher tiered phone but its not under the hood, Having said that it is a good performer all round which is important for many and even a power user like myself I seen no problems during my test period which surprised me.

This device is aimed at the media consumers which most of us are but there is not much content out there to support this aspect ratio just yet this will change though. Nexflix being one platform you can use is one area where you can get to test the 21:9 and also You tube offers the same as well as the phones own camera you can create different aspect ratio videos which is great..

Limitless is a series I was watching on Netflix and watched the rest with Sony Xperia10…And it was quite enjoyable with a good set of cans…

Today most productions are shot in 16:9 so in time this will change,the next problem is using the phone with apps that are not yet supporting this aspect ratio with either black bars on the sides or top and text cut off but its something you will have to put up with until these are optimized.

Asides that the phone delivers everywhere else by that i mean your daily usage be it surfing the web,emails social and so on and there was no lag to be found using multiple apps on the go at the same time, I tend to have several open when multitasking as I move from one to the other and it performed well here which was good. The height of the phone is something to consider with people that have small hands but it does offer one handed use which is useful here if you cant reach the top of the screen.

OK so moving on the phone is a quite capable phone for everyday use simple as given the form factor it works given it might take some getting use to but it delivers on the usual daily usage anyone would have even power users so the camera is the next feature people will wonder about and how the video performance is too well we have lots of samples to pick from in different resolutions including 4K and slow mo..

The camera performance was mostly good and better than expected but I did notice some instances when images looked washed out losing colour accuracy but getting the ideal shot would require the right conditions and if you have them you are fine but you can also edit afterwards which some phones now offer like the Nokia 9 for example which is one thing I question. Why do people want to spend time editing images when most of us just want to point and shoot and share not spending time editing afterwards. When using the camera on this device for the likes of Instagram and so on you have all the native tools you need built in on social apps if you are not happy.

The build quality is good on this compared to the L3 for example however Sony should start following other manufacturers and throwing in even the basic clear gel case as even now I find it hard to find a case in a store for it but its just a small recommendation I am throwing out here it sweetens the deal a bit more and protects your device out of the box rather than waiting to find one in bricks and mortar.

Battery life was an area where I never got a full day but in fairness I don’t with many phones as I am a power user,the average user though should see a day with moderate usage. There is not many phones out there today that would see a power user see a full day but this did beat my expectations overall and I feel most will be happy enough but it does have quickcharge. The way I use my phones the poor X10 was probably begging me to put it down…

The X10 comes with Android 9 out of the box which is a good start and comes with USB-C which is good to see and most welcome when most of us now use USB-C whilst some manufacturers still send out Micro USB devices having said the the L3 is just that but at least Sony are making a move in the right direction alongside loosing that square design the X10 is nicely shaped and rounded off on the corners and does not have that sharp experience.

Is the X10 worth the money. Yes but there is others out there offering a bit more however if you want to consume media on a phone the new aspect ratio is great but might not suit all however as I said above the one handed mode is there to help you around this but for watching movies and so on this is the phone to do it on and if you have a good pair of headphones there is still a headphone jack available..

Review – The Sony Xperia L3. For the money you can’t complain. #Sony #XperiaL3

The Sony Xperia L3 is a 5.7” HD display resolution smartphone with a comfortable feel. The smartphone is hard to distinguish from most of the major brands in terms of size and feel. The thickness is fractionally bigger than similar other brands of phones, the corners are comfortably rounded as compared to some of the older Sony phone making it comfortable to hold.

Texting in one hand is possible as the phone is not the size of a phablet. The weight in a pocket at 156 g is comfortable. The smartphone as you would expect from Sony is strong made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the right edge, which is used to lock the phone and allows contactless card payments via NFC. The phone has a single USB Type-C port at the bottom of the phone.

Key specifications

· 5.7in, HD+ IPS display, 18:9 aspect ratio

· Quad-core 2GHz MediaTek Helio P22 processor

· 32GB of eMMC storage (expandable via microSD up to 128GB)

· 3GB of RAM

· 13MP rear camera (f/2.2), 2MP (f/2.4)

· 8MP selfie camera (f/2.0)

· 3,300mAh battery

· Unlock in a touch, with built-in fingerprint sensor.

Display:

The display is a 5.7″ HD+ with 18:9 ratio which supports image formats: JPEG, GIF, BMP, WebP, WBMP, DNG This Supported video formats: MPEG-4 Video, H.263, H.264, H.265, VP8, VP9. The display is not a 4K screen as seen on the high-end models. When watching most movies, TV shows and photos this is not noticeable on the 5.7″ HD screen, when watching in a darker environment this display may not be a bright as on more expensive phones.

Memory and storage:

3GB RAM 32GB eMMC internal memory3 Up to 512GB microSD card

The Ram on the phone is the first sign this model is not a high-end phone which may not be noticed by everyday users, intense power hungry users may notice when using multiple apps simultaneously there may be a lag. Standard Android apps take approx. 300MB of RAM each ensuring the first app works ok but as you keep app open or don’t power down the phone, the Ram comes into its own, E.g. YouTube, WhatsApp, Spotify, Twitter, could take nearly 1 GB. Once you include Gmail, Maps Google photo, nearly 2 GB is used which results in software swapping the app. Normal users won’t notice any lag. Power hunger apps when tested, continually opening a large number of apps and swapping between results in a lag not noticed on the range of more expensive phones.

Operating System:

The Sony Xperia L3 comes with Google Android™ Oreo4 or Android 8.0 Initial release date 2017 with 9.0(Pie) released in 2018, now going on version 10 Android Q. the older operating software on this phone works solid but won’t excite.

Camera

The Xperia L3 is fitted with a dual-camera setup on the back of the phone, the rear camera is a 13MP aperture (f/2.2), 2MP (f/2.4) with a front camera 8MP (f/2.0) which is ideal as a selfie camera. As one would expect, Sony experience in camera and display stands out to give clear and crisp images. This model does not support High Dynamic Range. HDR which allowed the camera to process photos slightly differently than normal in order to capture greater detail from bright and dark areas in your photo. The software on the camera does not provide a great zoom option but the Bokeh-effect provided excellent portrait shots. The Video option shoots in Full HD (there is no 4K)

Battery :

The phone comes with a Non-removable Li-Ion 3300 mAh battery with a fast battery charging USB power delivery. Sony uses the Xperia Adaptive Charging”, which monitors your phone as it charges, this is to ensure the battery doesn’t degrade quickly. Sony data states a few minutes of charge should provide up to 2 hours of use before the battery dies. The 3300 mAh battery compares well to phones costing 3 times the amount e.g. Huawei P30 Pro with 4.200 mAh battery, Samsung Galaxy S10 at 4,100mAh, Apple does not disclose battery power but Xs has a 3.174 mAh, the Pixel 3 XL has a 3430 mAh battery.

Setup

The setup is standard android setup with the annoying request to accept various T&C, this is the same in budget and high-end phones.

Conclusion

The Xperia L3 is a mid-range phone but has the look and feel of a more expensive phone. The Sony Xperia L3 has a fingerprint scanner on its side and dual cameras on its back. The operating system has been tried and tested to ensure it works but lacks a punch as seen on top end phones, the use of basic Apps work quickly and smoothly but can lag if multiples apps are open and opened with the unit not powered down or closed. The smartphone came with a variety of sensors, Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor, eCompass Fingerprint sensor, Magnetometer Step counter, Step detector, Significant motion detector and Proximity sensor. This is an ideal model in terms of design, a widescreen for watching a movie, reasonably good dual-lens camera with software that works well.

Unboxing and Review – The Edifier R1850DB Bookshelf speakers. #Edifier #Tech #Audio #Speakers

Following up from our XM3BT review we have the Edifier R1850 DB bookshelf speakers which are a real treat for those who like such and there is lots. These are quite heavy compared to the norm which means quality and that they are and they also look modern and pack a punch when it comes to sound, these also support Optical which in my opinion is great for a TV or gaming set up and of course we can just use the standard bluetooth, you have choices here.

You get a robust set of speakers just to start with and one thing notable is the long cable supplied to give you some great distance between the two I find many speaker manufacturers with cabled connection fall short here with distance limiting the experience in my book when it comes to giving a surround sound effect rather than pointed one direction.

Again the covers can be removed from the speakers for those who like them naked I kinda like them both ways so I have the choice to cover up or show it off, On the main speaker we have three quality dials this time for bass,treble and volume and the volume and all three are plenty aloud delivering you will see more in the video below. We have AUX ,RCA OPTICAL and COAX and of course bluetooth connection options so no shortage there apart from USB/SD support and will work with most peoples setups, I have several scenarios I can pick from so these suit well for me and I am sure for most.

Asides looking good they sound great across all sound stages and genres with great bass and treble to play with and decent volume loudness too which is important for me as I like it loud just like my headphones For the price you pay here you cant really go wrong and you will certainly be pleased with what you hear. Also not to forget this time around you get a nicely shaped remote control too which makes life that bit easier.

INPUTS – RCA/Aux, Optical/Coaxial, Bluetooth for convenience
TREBLE/BASS CONTROL, SUB-LINE OUT – Adjust bass, treble, volume and toggle inputs on rear panel.
WIRELESS REMOTE – Handy compact remote control for input selection, volume adjustment and track control for Bluetooth devices.
