75% Sony Xperia 5 III Review: A compact flagship that’s out of reach
Source: Phandroid EN→zh-CN
Unfortunately, I didn’t come away with the same feelings that I did after spending time with the Xperia PRO-I. But that’s also not surprising when you consider that these phones are meant for two different audiences. Something that really stuck in the back of my mind with the Xperia 5 III is the cost. Sony’s retail price for this phone here in the U.S. comes in at $999 and with options like the Galaxy S22 and Pixel 6 available it might be a tough pill to swallow. Samsung’s compact flagship starts at $799, while the Pixel 6 is just $599. Sure, Sony’s promise here is to provide a flagship experience in a compact form factor, and it executes that very well. But this steep price tag is going to make it difficult for the Xperia 5 III to be considered a true contender in the space. And it’s really a shame because this is another great Sony device.

83% Sony Xperia 5 III Review – When Small Doesn’T Mean Less
Source: Pokde EN→zh-CN
The Sony Xperia 5 III is an excellent smartphone in today’s world if you’d prefer smaller devices that are easier to hold. Granted, the display’s aspect ratio is uncommon compared to its competitors but what you get here is a solid performer with good battery life, great cameras, and excellent display while still being able to retain the 3.5mm audio jack. It’s not perfect but even though options for a compact flagship smartphone is few and far in between, going for this doesn’t mean you’re settling for less as this can serve you well. Just keep in mind that it’s rather pricey, at RM4,599. At the end of our Sony Xperia 5 III review, I award this with our Gold Pokdeward.

Sony Xperia 5 iii Review: Petite Android Phone With Camera Chops
Source: Hot Hardware EN→zh-CN
There’s no doubt the Xperia 5 iii is an excellent phone. It’s a small, premium, and feature-rich flagship with a standout design and a trick telephoto shooter. We like the beautiful display, Alpha camera experience, superior audio features, solid performance, and clean software. But while it’s better than Sony’s previous phones, it still lacks some critical features, like better computational photography, broader 5G support, and wireless charging. We might be able to gloss over these omissions, but considering the Xperia 5 iii is now months old and costs about $1000, that’s a hard sell. For that kind of money, you can buy Samsung’s outgoing Galaxy S21 Ultra (currently $945) or Google’s Pixel 6 Pro ($899) and have change left over. Not only are these two of the best imaging phones available today, they don’t skimp on full 5G support or wireless charging. Ultimately, we appreciate what Sony’s shooting for with the Xperia 5 iii.

Sony Xperia 5 III, hands on: Cut-down flagship doesn't quite cut it
Source: Zdnet.com EN→zh-CN
Android 11 is accompanied by Sony tweaks like Side Sense and additional software, much of which can be deselected at start-up. The 4500mAh battery lasted for nearly 16 hours under the PCMark for Android battery rundown test, and Sony's claim of half an hour to charge the battery to 50% feels accurate to me. There's no wireless charging here, in contrast to the Xperia 1 III. The Xperia 5 III is a well-specified phone with a price tag to match. However, given that video viewing and photography using its 21:9 screen is a major selling point, you might be tempted to pay a bit more for the flagship Xperia 1 III with its larger, high-resolution screen.

There’s a lot to like in the Xperia 5 III. The display is top notch, the audio options are unparalleled, and the small form factor is likely to be a big draw for some, just because of its relative rarity – especially for a phone that also contains a flagship chipset and camera. It’s not all smooth sailing though, with a battery life and charging spec that are average at best, and a software update promise that isn’t even that, reducing the longevity of the hardware. And even though the specs are top-tier on paper, the small body has clearly created cooling challenges that lower its performance in practice. Ultimately though, the appeal of the phone will come down in large part to the camera. While the hardware here is indisputably capable – and the shutter button a rare treat – Sony’s software choices simply mean that this isn’t a good choice for anyone who just wants to point-and-shoot. If you’re not willing to get to grips with the advanced settings and tinker with shutter speeds, you’ll find better cameras – that are easier to use – elsewhere. And often for less.

82% Sony Xperia 5 III review: A more balanced take on the Xperia 1 III
Source: CNet EN→zh-CN
The Sony Xperia 5 III is further proof that the Tokyo-based company is heading in the right direction, delivering utilitarian phones with amenities best appreciated by photographers, audiophiles, filmmakers and creative types. None of Sony's phones will fold or bend. They don't have trendy finishes or a menagerie of colors. The Xperia 5 III comes in black and green, which is as wild as Sony gets. When Sony decided to bring its Alpha mirrorless camera team's smarts to the Xperia line, many wondered if the audience for such a phone would be too niche. People asked similar questions about gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone 5, and about foldable phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Motorola Razr (2020). Instead of watering down its approach to appeal to more people, the Xperia 5 III is a third-gen phone that's the closest Sony has come to nailing what its audience wants. For all intents and purposes the Xperia 5 III is a smaller, more affordable version of the Xperia 1 III.

Much like its bigger sibling, the Sony Xperia 5 III excels when it comes to rear camera photography, its display and multi-media features, and all-day battery life. Sadly, the phone doesn’t quite capture the stellar aesthetics of the Xperia 1 III but the design remains close enough and still stands out in this price bracket. Overall, it’s another very good phone from Sony, if not on the expensive side once again. As much as I’ve enjoyed my time with the Xperia 5 III, it certainly doesn’t have it all. The lack of wireless charging and 5G mmWave, combined with a mediocre selfie camera and slow charging leaves the phone feeling a little rough in places. Of course, we expected some downgrades compared to the Xperia 1 III to make the phone more affordable. But Sony has discarded a few too many of the elite features that gave the Xperia 1 III its wow factor. As such, the Xperia 5 III is less appealing, even at a lower price. The lack of a long-term update roadmap is equally unfortunate for a phone looking to command such a premium.

The Sony Xperia 5 III is a solid all-round Android smartphone that delivers the goods in key areas including the camera, the performance, the battery, and the screen. That said, the unusual aspect ratio will prove to be divisive, and it’s not a cheap phone by any means.

80% Sony Xperia 5 III review: a compact smartphone competing against the flagships
Source: T3 EN→zh-CN
The Sony Xperia 5 III is a smartphone with a very clearcut purpose, to pack high-end hardware into a compact phone. And it does that very well. You can easily use this phone one-handed, and while the screen might be a fair amount smaller than you'd get elsewhere, it is still fine to use for watching videos on your commute or reading through the news. The focus here is on quality and that seeps down into every part of the phone, whether you’re talking about the speedy 5G processor, the sleek but sturdy design or the excellent snapper with loads of customisation. The only area where it slightly disappointed me was the battery life which could definitely be improved. If you want a powerful but compact phone and you don't mind paying a premium price for it, then this is the best one out there right now. It’d be hard not to recommend the Sony Xperia 5 III.

80% Sony Xperia 5 III review: The ‘weird Sony’ compact flagship
Source: Laptop Mag EN→zh-CN
In many ways, the Sony Xperia 5 III is the compact flagship I’ve always wanted. It is a smaller device that doesn’t compromise on performance, cameras or display, adding up to an unmistakably premium experience. But Sony shoots itself in the foot in three areas: camera software that you need to take a photography course to use beyond the auto mode, an overheating problem, and very minor upgrades over the Xperia 5 II (which costs significantly less). This is a niche smartphone. If you can make the most of it, you’ll love every second and forgive these issues. If not, I recommend looking elsewhere like the Google Pixel 6 Pro or OnePlus 9 Pro.

80% Sony Xperia 5 III review: Smaller, cheaper and just as impressive
Source: Expert Reviews EN→zh-CN
In its heyday, in partnership with Ericsson, Sony was one of the biggest players in the mobile market. Ever since it split and entered the Android space on its own, it has been consistently trying (and sometimes succeeding) to reinvent the wheel to recapture a little of its past glory. The Xperia 5 III is a testament to that ambition, showcasing a lot of what the company is good at. The camera arrangement is versatile, audio reproduction is great and the screen is vibrant and sharp. Battery life is a particular strong suit, and its long-tall design stands out once more. But for issues with thermal performance, somewhat iffy pictures from the telephoto lenses and a high price, the Sony Xperia 5 III would otherwise be a simple recommendation. There are also much more do-it-all, generalist handsets at lower prices that may suit better, such as the Galaxy S21 and Pixel 6 Pro. The Sony Xperia 5 III is an accomplished smartphone, but it’s perhaps just a little too specialised to be an easy fit for the public at large.

80% Sony Xperia 5 III review: Small package, big appeal?
Source: Pocket Lint EN→zh-CN
The Sony Xperia 5 III continues within its family line as an attractive device. It has benefits over the Xperia 1 III in that it's a lot more compact and manageable. But it's also pretty expensive in that position and there are innumerate options for devices with similar core hardware, but at a much lower price. The fundamentals of the Xperia 5 III are good: there's a comprehensive camera wanting to offer more to those keen on photography, but not delivering the same computational photography experience you might get elsewhere; the design and dust/water protection is good, and there's plenty of battery life. For some this will be the ideal phone, given its smaller-scale build, but the older Xperia 5 II might just offer you all those things too - without the inflated cost.

We wrote at the top that the accounts do not fall out in favor of the Sony Xperia 5 III, even though the price has been lowered by a third compared to the flagship model. It is clear that one has to make some compromises when the price is to be lowered, and some of Sony’s choices make good sense. There is no reason why a mobile with a 6.1-inch screen should have 4K resolution, and we did not miss the iToF sensor either when we tested the camera. But it’s a problem that the Xperia 5 III gets so extremely hot if you challenge the processor, and for the price we also expected wireless charging and better sound in the built-in speakers. The Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, which arrived at the beginning of the year, costs the same as the Xperia 5 III, but has twice as much storage space as well as wireless charging, and then it performs like a nuclear power plant without breaking a sweat. You should buy the Sony Xperia 5 III if the camera’s pro options are tempting – or if you generally prefer a more compact smartphone.

The Sony Xperia 5 III smartphone shares some of the excellent features found on the more expensive Sony Xperia 1 III but in a smaller, easier to hold body that's also got a better price tag. The camera is great, taking true-to-life photos and if you have the patience to learn how to use the Pro Mode then you'll capture even better shots. If you can get on with the unusual dimensions and want a smartphone with premium tech that's not priced at over £1000, the Xperia 5 III could be for you.

The Sony Xperia 5 III successfully scales things back from the lavish Xperia 1 III, with comparable performance and almost equal photographic potential wrapped up in a more compact body. Battery life is even better, too. It’s still lacking in a few fundamental areas, however, and those omissions sting all the more in light of flagship pricing.

75% Sony Xperia 5 III review: a flawed diamond
Source: Phone Arena EN→zh-CN
After the somewhat disappointing debut of its bigger sibling - the Xperia 1 III - I was hoping that the additional month Sony took with the Xperia 5 III has helped in polishing all the little flaws and imperfections in this technology gem. Sadly, as it turns out, this is not the case. Don’t get me wrong, the Xperia 5 III is still a technology masterpiece. It’s pretty, fast, and comes packed full of features. The 6.1-inch 21:9 OLED display is as beautiful as they get and it also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate. However, there are small hiccups here and there that spoil the flagship experience promised by the hefty price of the Xperia 5 III. Things like sudden restarts, fingerprint reader phantom activation, proximity sensor woes, flashlight turning on out of nowhere can get on the nerves of even the most loyal and patient Sony aficionados. But let’s dive deep and find the good, the bad, and the ugly about the Sony Xperia 5 III.

While I enjoyed using the Sony Xperia 5 III as my full-time phone, I didn’t find enough updates here to justify a purchase over last year’s Xperia 5 II. Its screen is slightly less responsive, while the handset also seems to heat up faster with the Snapdragon 888 chipset – and there’s no excuse for Sony to skip on wireless charging. On balance, I’d say look at last year’s model instead and save yourself some money.

So if you're looking for a high-end Sony, the Xperia 5 III is the sensible choice over the 1 III. But, more importantly, the 5 III is hard to beat by any reasonably-sized outside competition either. And by that, we mean there's no match for the completeness of its spec sheet and more or less its actual overall performance. Now, there are a couple of issues for the 5 III - price and availability. It's more expensive at launch than any of the direct rivals we have in mind for it, and that launch is happening way too late - in September, after an April announcement. If you can wait until then, and then maybe wait some more for its price to drop a little, the Xperia 5 III might just make all the sense.
