Apparently Sony is the only brand that sells a good Snapdragon 888 phone... probably. Should we be congratulating them on not removing basic features?

Positive:
+ Stable and fast
+ Good battery life compared to pixel 5
+ Good Signal
+ Descent camera and post processing, although a bit outdated for the price
+ Good build quality everything is very tight
Negative:
- Too large, I would appreciate 5.5 size for midranger, I can't keep it in pants
- Slippery and frequently slides from hands or surfaces
- Proximity sensor is not good and often leads to ear clicks in cold conditions
- Price is too high, though I gladly paid it as there is no competition
- Default bumper is freakingly expensive

5iii black
What an epic fail, not even 12gb ram
No NVME SSD
no 4k display
It's the compact off the 1iii, doesn't mean it should lose its features, even though I payed £780 in UK

Unfortunately, this phone won't be available in Italy, so I'm wondering: if I buy one in the UK would it work in Italy considering network frequencies and such?

Wanted to buy this, but phone for 900 euros doesn't have Camera Night mode even as an separate option and low light photography is disappointing

Unlike the global version, the Xperia 5 III smartphone in (C.h.i.n.a)....
will be running ((((Meizu’s Flyme OS)))
out-of-the-box, based on the Android operating system.
it aims to offer a localized experience and will come with support for Alipay and WeChat mobile payments.

Jimbob, 21 Nov 2021Why is this the only high end phone under 68mm ?! Because there is only a small market for them. At least as far as I know that's why Samsung stopped offering the small "e" variants.

The best thing about this device is LED notification light. No more Android phone has this original Android thing.

I was hesitating to buy this phone as I was a fan of previous Sony compact phones and this one is not quite compact and pretty expensive. Nevertheless I did it and do not regret at all - the phone is a killer, super fast, with good battery life and surprisingly - the 21:9 aspect ratio feels amazing and natural, I would never switch back to wider phones. It is light, really comfortable and fits my pocket. I don't get what people are expecting of phone cameras nowadays, but having this powerful camera set in my pocket is a privilege. All the 4 focal lenghts do great job, telephoto camera does good shots in both focal lengths and you can really optimize picture quality in manual modes. As the phone possesses a Snapdragon 888 chipset, it really does heat in certain situations, but not overheat at all. No perfect smartphone exists, but for this dimension, I guess this is the best I could buy and I am happy I did. Good job, Sony!

Love this phone. No problem with mine overheating. It's very fast and compact. Battery life is great. My only issue is this phone does not connect to wifi after the initial setup. I have unlimited data so I can live with it. Sony's customer service is non existent for help.

Sebuaioset8, 06 Nov 2021It does NOT have dual band GPS as this site says. I will be taking legal action."Disclaimer. We can not guarantee that the information on this page is 100% correct."
This is literally plastered on the spec sheet above.
