The new Sony Xperia 5 III hit the shelves last year and it seems to be keeping up with the strong competition despite having delays in the US.
The new Sony smartphone hit the UK in mid 2021, however it is only just seeing the shelves in the US.
The phone has seen some additional upgrades in the US, which bring it into contention with the handsets of the more popular rivals.
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and running Android 11 out of the box, also offering 5G connectivity alongside the other flagship devices.
These stats add up to the device being a actual contender, unlike prior Sony handsets, however Sony have a quagmire to work their way through to reach volume sales.
The battery is fast charging and can actually reach 50% in just half an hour, also the battery itself can offer 4,500mAh.
With a 6.1-inch display and Sony’s trademark 21:9 aspect ratio, Sony really do seem to be firing on all cylinders to bring this handset to the benchmark.
Three rear cameras only add to that benchmark, with up to 20fps as well as ability to support 120 fps for 4K footage.
The price though may come as a shock, considering Sony is no longer one of the real contenders for the top spot in smartphones.
