Very good review!!! You really understand the features and settings most reviewers don't even know about. I've had Xperias for years and it's the only line I'm interested in

I like that you pointed out features that differentiate it from other phones. Great review! 👍

Xperia 5 III has everything right - fully featured small phone with everything that larger flagships from others lack, including headphone jack, expendable memory, no hole punch full screen, full IP rating, dedicated camera button that works like a camera button etc.

The only thing is the late to market. Sony needs to launch their products faster. And perhaps the screen should be a bit brighter. At this point I'm holding on to xperia 1 II and see what the IV series bring this year.

Phenomenal review! I'm not a big fan of how other reviewers just go over the specs and loading times for apps. I love how your review went over your experience using this phone. The little things like how the 21:9 ratio makes it easier to see comments on YouTube is actually a huge plus. I'm a pretty big mobile gamer, so you going over the contrast settings and sound settings to improve gameplay was great. I actually pulled the trigger and bought this device because there was a bundle with TWS earbuds, so if there's anyone considering buying this phone, wait for it to be offered as a bundle!

I have a galaxy s10 that I was looking to upgraded from and Xperia 5 iii is the only one that made sense. I was so disappointed that in the 3 years since the s10 release that most big name manufacturers don't include both a headphone jack or expandable memory. Now that HTC is pretty much out of the flagship game and LG gave up entirely, the options are even fewer.

I miss Xperia's now a days.
Still have one lying around with a dead battery.
Great review as always Alex.

Really solid review. Some of what you explained is useful for 1 III owners, too, given the shared software.

[goodnightmoon]

i'll buy it just because it's sony and also headphone jack will forever be necessary

Good review. I relied on it and just ordered mine. Yours is the only one I found reviewing this phone in our hot, sunny little island. Hoping the phone will hold up well in our climate.

Superb video review. informative and really well made.
I still have and use my Sony Xperia Z1 (though after 7 years of constant use, it has held up really well, but is about to be put into retirement shortly) and Sony Xperia XZ Premium (Chrome).
I am very keen on purchasing the Sony Xperia 5 III. I am definitely impressed with it. Thanks again for a great review.

I have the Xperia 1 mark ii. It's been a brilliant phone. But totally agree with you about their launches for Xperia. They seriously need to improve. Though in all fairness the Xperia Pro I was announced in November and they had it out being shipped to those who pre ordered by early December. They finally did it right. Hopefully this is a new standard they intend to follow.

Wow this is a pretty detailed, clean and concise review. That said I've been a Sony Fan for quite sometime back during their Xperia Z1 days, this phone was in my considerations but ultimately the awkwardly long aspect ratio, ridiculously high price tag ($1500), and the inability to shoot 4K 120fps in anything but that main wide angle lens pushed me away from the decision. I don't really play mobile games, most of my phone usage would be on youtube, so I'll benefit less with that long aspect ratio (16:9 videos will utilize less screen).

I like all your point. I'm a 5iii user and agreed most of it. My fav feature is photo pro, game enhancer, audio and display for video..I got gift xb700 when purchased via pre order so Im so satisfied.. I'm glad to have this hone..looking forward for their next xperia

[ronniejaye]

I wish Sony would come back to Canadian carriers again. This is the model I would like. Although the LG V60 speakers and DAC are unmatched this at least has an SD card slot .

[bqdonk]

Superb honest review! I love this phone so much!

[majidnobles]

Watching this on my Xperia 5 iii. Couldn't be more satisfied ☺️

[comediavietii]

Well built, feature rich, fairly priced, what a great phone!

[cringeylazy]

Fantastic review. Excited for mine that I've ordered.

[wparo]

Thank you for this informative review video.

You can now get it for 670 Euro here in Denmark (5000 DKK), and it comes with the Sony WH-1000XM3. I'm really thinking about buying this phone right now. Let alone the price with all the features is truly amazing.
