Flagship smartphones from the Japanese brand, which Sony calls multimedia behind their backs. When designing them, the company's engineers paid special attention to the camera, display and sound capabilities. So specialists from Zeiss are constantly involved in working with cameras, top-end OLED matrices with increased resolution and cinematic proportions of 21:9 are used in the production of screens, and the built-in audio chip often supports Dolby Atmos. According to Sony, such a combo set will appeal to those users who use their smartphone mainly for video shooting, streaming and games.


Sony Xperia 1 III is the most popular smartphone in this line, which fully reveals all the ideas of this multimedia series. It features an unusual 6.5-inch OLED display with 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. The creators of the Alpha 9 camera and ZEISS engineers worked on the triple photomodule. They did particularly well with spot autofocus and tracking autofocus for moving subjects. To reinforce associations with professional equipment, a separate shutter button has been placed on the case, which can click with a sound characteristic of old cameras.

As befits smartphones with a price tag in the region of a thousand dollars, the new generation Xperia devices are based on fairly powerful mobile hardware. Most often, this is a Snapdragon 865/888 level processor with 8 or 12 GB of RAM and built-in storage up to 512 GB. Among other strengths of the Xperia line, it is worth noting the water protection of the case (note: most often IP68), fast charging, current communication modules (5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5), NFC and biometric security.
