The Sony Xperia 5 III[a] is an Android smartphone manufactured by Sony. Part of Sony's Xperia series, the phone was announced on April 14, 2021, along with the larger Xperia 1 III and the mid-range Xperia 10 III.[4][5][6]
Design
The Xperia 5 III retains Sony's signature square design that is seen on previous Xperia phones. It is built similarly to the Xperia 1 III, using anodized aluminum for the frame and Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for the screen and back panel, as well as IP65 and IP68 certifications for water resistance. The build has a pair of symmetrical bezels on the top and the bottom, where the front-facing dual stereo speakers are placed. The left side of the phone contains a slot for a SIM card and a microSDXC card, while the right side contains a fingerprint reader embedded into the power button, a volume rocker and a shutter button. A dedicated Google Assistant button is located between the power and shutter buttons. The earpiece, front-facing camera, notification LED and various sensors are housed in the top bezel. The bottom edge has the primary microphone and USB-C port; the rear cameras are arranged in a vertical strip. The phone ships in three colors: Black, Green and Pink.

Specifications
Hardware
The Xperia 5 III is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and an Adreno 660 GPU, accompanied by 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. It has 128 or 256 GB of UFS internal storage, which can be expanded up to 1 TB via the microSD card slot with a hybrid dual-SIM setup. The display is a 6.1-inch 1080p (2520 × 1080) HDR OLED with a 21:9 aspect ratio, resulting in a pixel density of 449 ppi. It features a 120 Hz refresh rate, and is capable of displaying one billion colors. The battery capacity is 4500 mAh; USB Power Delivery 3.0 is supported at 30 W over USB-C, although it lacks wireless charging capabilities. The device includes a 3.5 mm audio jack as well as an active external amplifier.
Camera
The Xperia 5 III has three 12 MP rear-facing cameras and an 8 MP front-facing camera. The rear cameras consist of a wide-angle lens (24 mm f/1.7), an ultra wide angle lens (16 mm f/2.2), and a variable telephoto lens that can switch between 70 mm and 105 mm with 3× or 4.4× optical zoom; each uses ZEISS' T✻ (T-Star) anti-reflective coating. Software improvements include real-time Eye AF and Optical SteadyShot.
Software
The Xperia 5 III runs on Android 11. Sony has also paired the phone's camera tech with a "Pro" mode developed by Sony's camera division CineAlta, whose features take after Sony's Alpha camera lineup.
