Sony Xperia 5 III review

[@DragonlordXV]

i love sony , they didn't follow the actual tendency for making phones , no notch, no hole on the screen, just phones in the old way.

[@mikldude9376]

Well not quite the old way , all their phones are the annoying tall thin aspect ratio , i miss the old days when sony made full sized devices . I suspect it will be a slug in sales just like the others due to the lack of screen realestate , which is a shame because sony has headphone jack and sd card on its devices , but the lack of screen realestate for many will be a deal breaker imo ..

[@walter_marcus]

​@@mikldude9376 wym? 21:9 packs more screen than the s21 20:9 or the weird out of the book 19.5:9 ratio the iphone gives you. there are reasons why ppl made a standard on aspect ratios like 4:3,16:9 and 21:9 . if you go weird aspect ratios like samsung and apple does, there will always be a black bezel on every content you watch no matter what it is .... you will never use the full screen watching any movies or videos without cropping some off . and if you dont like that then wait for the mark 4 or 5 something, i once saw rumors that sony is goona switch to 4k DCI which iMax cinema displays use at a ratio of 1.90:1(inbetween 16:9 and 21:9) at 4096 x 2160

I have a Sony Xperia X that is still working after 5 years. I dropped it like a 1000 times, not a single dent or scratch, granted I use a hard silicon case + screen protector but still. This was a budget phone in their line-up, so it does speak volumes tbh. I'm looking to replace it though, the camera is not great and in the summer it did started to have some trouble on very hot days, but yeah it's 5 years old and I bought it for 230 euro, something like that, so what can I say.

Actually, I love the plastic back, so if this phone had plastic back and were a bit smaller, it would be perfect 👌 Had the z1 compact with glass back and it broke early from pocket crush. Have the xz1 compact now with plastic back, and it's still sturdy after 4 years of abuse 👍

[@modmatt1]

As he's reviewing this phone, I was thinking this was the "just right" phone for me at this size with all the "High-end" specs, but I think it's a huge miss in a $1k phone to not include wireless charging. @ this price, I expect wireless as a feature more than keeping the dedicated headphone jack or expandable memory. My last three phones have had wireless a much lower cost.

So the question is did they fix the lenses physically in the Xperia 5 III or is there hope that software updates can improve the telephoto aswell on the 1 III?

[@chinitopinoy1726]

Last year when they reviewed the Xperia 5 ii and the Xperia 1 ii, they also found the telelphoto lens on the Xperia 5 ii to be much sharper than the Xperia 1 ii. I wonder if the bigger camera bumps on the Xperia 5 ii and Xperia 5 iii has something to do with it.

[@nilascocaguimbal1882]

I reckon it'll be fixed when the phones were released.

[@pixels_per_inch]

Probably just an issue with review units sent by Sony. Those retail units from China seems unaffected.

[@luc7976]

The Xperia 1 III tele issues looked a lot like internal lenses alignment issues since it had typical haziness artifacts. I did see some other 1 III reviews that didn't show these issues so seems bad HW. Not sure if software can calibrate that periscope lens shifting, but since II didn't have it, most likely just hardware.

[@UnrealOG137]

Compact phones do not sell well. The iPhone 12 mini sales are terrible. (I think half the reason it exists is so that Apple can say the iPhone 12 starts at $699). It doesn't make sense for Sony (who hardly sells any phones to begin with) to develop an even smaller phone. That being said, people who buy Sony phones might be more willing to buy compact phones in the first place.

[@Dragontrumpetare]

Wow, a positive Sony review. 🙂. Why didn't he mention the H.S. feature that Sony have wich I think it had to get around the throttling and getting to hot problem. Reviewers never really highlights that feature, that the phone can work like the computer. But charge the battery while connected to a charging cable.

[@The-Heart-Will-Testify]

Since that feature bus for gaming phones, they will ignore it in Sony phones because Samsung and iphone don't have it, he has to complain about the throttle lol but ignore the solution lol

[@CrazyStranger11]

Care to explain? What is H.S.? Does it come with a heat sink??

[@Dragontrumpetare]

@@CrazyStranger11 what I understand it works like this. If you activate H.S and connecting the charging cable in, it won't charge the battery. The phone would therefore run directly from the Jack and not the battery. That means the battery won't charge and get warm. It's a similar feature that laptops used for years. It also means no throttle.

[@CrazyStranger11]

@@Dragontrumpetare Huh, very cool. Thanks for explaining.

[@fixups6536]

@@Dragontrumpetare The phone will not get as warm, but it will still throttle. As Will mentioned in the video, passive cooling is not great on this phone. Even if the battery is not warming it up, the processor alone will get too hot when playing games or doing any processor intensive task (maybe even using the camera), and its speed will be reduced automatically ("throttling"). Mind you, given the speed of the Snapdragon 888, it's probably not a big issue, and I'm actually considering purchasing this phone. I have been able to test the Realme GT, which has the 888, and even when it's throttling the performance is still very good.

Why does nobody talk about call quality or antenna reception/ connectivity/ performance in mobile phone reviews, any more? I'd like to know whether a Samsung, HTC or Sony give you the most 'bars' and which is the best at staying connected to a network when you are in an area with poor signal strength. Time was: these things were talked about because there were, or could be, huge and significant differences in these qualities, between different companies phones. And I am certain that there still will be. Much easier just to read from a spec sheet, though, I suppose.

So far, Zenfone 8, This and the upcomong Samsung S21 FE are my current choices for a new phone this year. Only reason 5 iii is not my 1st choice is because of its price.

[@bipbop3121]

It's worth it to encourage Asus to step up their quality and Samsung their UI, bloat, feature\accessory deletion & treatment of customers. There's a reason you mention the FE - it is their only phone left without most of their terrible compromises of late. FE might only be $80 cheaper and by the time you pay all your interest or however else if you're financing, possibly more. The 21 FE will still have the terrible SD 888 & will 6 GB RAM, instead of 8 GB (the more RAM, the harder to slow you down).

[@AntonFetzer]

This phone is my current dream phone. The only things I dont like about it are the tall aspect ratio and its price. If it was 1 or 2 cm shorter and 400€, I would absolutely buy it. I especially love the awesome 4.4x zoom. But I can't afford it and I needed a new phone now. Which is why I just bought a used Pixel 4a.

What do you mean by overpricing? Sony has the same price as similarly spec'd phones. 256 GB iPhone, S21 Ultra, & X1 III, all same price, while including features and accessories the other two have gotten rid of- for example. They don't play the same shell games to make people think they're getting a discount, as the competition and the price goes down slower. Oh right, when iPhones hold their value better, people say they're worth it.

[@bipbop3121]

At least iPhone has 5 years of support and devs go all out on their apps, so $1200 is ridiculous. Really to me, any 2-3 year built in obsolescence device over $600 is too expensive. So I do think it is too expensive, but the key here, is I think they all are.

Anyone know what the second game (third person action) was in this?

H.S feature will solve the throttling issue for those who wanna game for long time without worrying about the battery.

[@paullittle3042]

I have the 5 II. H.S is a great feature. It isn't restricted to gaming. You can enable it for any app

They should really change their battery test to have a 4G talk time not 3G talk time.

[@anuarbin]

Great idea. But it does make comparison with previous phone difficult. Maybe they to wait until 3g shutdown at whatever country they are staying.

is there any compatibility with dualshock & Playstation games?

[@silva_br1]

You can use PS4 control. Connect xperia to PS4, it can act like the TV.

[@nilascocaguimbal1882]

I suppose the 1III soft zoom will be fixed when official release comes.

[@chinitopinoy1726]

I'm not sure about that. Even the Xperia 5 ii they reviewed last year had a much sharper telephoto than the Xperia 1 ii. I think it has to do with the camera bump on the 5 ii and 5 iii.

[@pixels_per_inch]

Yep, there's no issues with those retail units from China
