Sony Xperia 5 III


The Sony Xperia 5 III phone was officially launched on 14 April, Sony's third-gen upper mid-range Smartphone was launched with the flagship Xperia 1 III in Japan.  The X 5 III has been thrown-out as the compact model of the X 1 III, even though the Sony Xperia 5 III has smaller dimensions, when you look under the hood, the Xperia 5 III  possesses the latest Qualcomm's top-of-the-line Snapdragon 888 chip set just like the top of the range flagships do.


Sony Xperia 5 III

Released 2021, April

It seems like, in a way Sony is converging all the skills its acquired over a long period of time for instance, they have the Alpha top notch cameras including CMOS Chip Image Sensors production, made high-end laptop computers with the Vaio, they are pioneers in the personal gaming industry with Sony PlayStation, leaders in the flash memory cards and Memory Stick format and of course we all know Sony went into film and television production when it bought and took-over Columbia Pictures Entertainment in 1989 for a cool $3.4 billion and now suffice to say that Sony is still sticking with the narrow and tall, CinemaWide 21:9 aspect ratio from last year's phone - just saying that Sonys SmartPhone activities is leading to something spectacular in the future as they seem to be in the best position strategically as well.


Meanwhile The Sony Xperia 5 III has 240Hz touch sampling for a fast response time, with a 120Hz refresh rate, set with a Full 6.1in OLED display, primrium triple rear camera setups, a 12Mp main cam supported by 8Mp ultra-wide and 8Mp periscopic lens. featuring continuous autofocuse all powered by a 4500mAh battery larger than normal for most Xperia phones and others alike.  The 3.5mm headphone jack on the Sony Xperia 5 III  is refreshing to see as the jack is becoming extinct on flagships these days.
