Sony Xperia 10 vs Sony Xperia 10 Plus

Our Verdict: Sony Xperia 10 and Sony Xperia 10 Plus suit different priorities. The regular 10 is stronger for portability, helped by a sharper 457 PPI display and a lighter 162g body, while the Plus is better suited to a larger 6.5-inch screen. Choose the regular 10 for portability; choose the Plus if screen size matters more.

If you'd rather pay up front, the Plus is the cheaper buy at £150 SIM-free.
