The production had a larger standing set for the TARDIS, so the interior got bigger; the Ninth and Tenth Doctors (Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant) got a semi-organic coral design that was otherwise no-nonsense and practical.

Doctor Who: Diving into the Rabbit Hole of Sonic Screwdriver Toys
The second seems to be the Eleventh Doctor's (Matt Smith) sonic screwdriver, which is bigger, clunkier, and flashier Both sonics can extend – very phallic and Freudian move.

Doctor Who’s Timey-Wimey Stories Work Best When They Keep ‘em Simple
