The Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is the most popular custom recovery out there, and for good reason. It offers the best blend of functionality, and it remains easy-to-use. It also has a fairly pleasing user interface. Official TWRP support has recently been added for the Xiaomi Mi A3, Redmi Note 8 Pro, ASUS ROG Phone II, Realme X2, Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, Nokia 7.1, Snapdragon Motorola Moto E4, and the Xiaomi Redmi 8. Now, official support has been added for the Sony Xperia 10 and Sony Xperia 10 Plus.

The Sony Xperia 10 and the Xperia 10 Plus (review) are two mid-range phones that were launched at MWC 2019. The Xperia 10 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC, while the Xperia 10 Plus steps up to the Snapdragon 636 SoC. Both phones have 21:9 aspect ratio displays.
