The size of this phone will either make you a lover or a hater of XPERIA X10. Many people will buy this device because of its massive 4 inch touch screen, 480 x 854 pixels, display which is capable of delivering 262,000 colours. Others however will complain about the size being too big because it measures 119 x 63 x 13mm. In our opinion the display is the selling point plus it has to be large because everything is done using the touchscreen display. Despite the phones size the EXPERIA is only 135 grams.
