The screen is a highly accomplished OLED panel, with a 4K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a shape that’s perfectly suited to watching widescreen-format content; the narrowness also make sit easier to hold. We found the triple camera system to be mostly good, and the performance matches other Android big-hitters from its era. Battery life was decent as well, and you’ll get a plug and a charging cable in the box (unlike with the Xperia 1 IV).
That’s not to say that the Xperia 1 III is perfect. We noticed that the screen’s brightness levels sometimes struggled when we were outside under direct sunlight, and the long and thin screen will not be to everyone’s tastes either. What’s more, when we pushed the camera to it’s limits we felt that it didn’t match high-end snappers from the likes of Samsung and Apple.
