For selfies, the device is equipped with an 8MP front camera. The Xperia 10 II can shoot 4K videos with SteadyShot stabilisation and it also supports 120fps slow-mo videos.
For audio enthusiasts, you’ll be happy to know that the device retains a 3.5mm headphone jack and it supports DSEE HX audio upscaling along with Hi-Res Audio playback. Powering the device is a 3,600mAh battery which has Sony’s Adaptive Charging feature to help prolong the battery’s lifespan.
