Key features include fast AF in all three cameras, plus object tracking technology to maintain sharp focus on moving subjects.
Four versatile lens options to unleash your creativity

Experience Real-time Eye AF-for humans and animals1
Real-Time Eye AF lets you take stunning portraits, whether you're photographing people or animals. Even if your subject is on the move or one eye is covered, you'll capture memorable images full of energy and expression.
3.5 mm audio jack for ultimate sound quality
Thanks to improvements to materials and electronic components, the 3.5 mm audio jack on the Xperia 5 III not only offers convenience but also delivers high fidelity sound quality. Distortion is reduced, especially between mid and max volume, and that brings more realistic sound-with clear ensembles, smooth vocals, and deep basslines.

With 360 Reality Audio,4 music has never been so immersive and so real. And with the Xperia 5 III, you can enjoy the experience through wired or wireless headphones or the built-in Full-Stage stereo speakers.5.
Turn your stereo music into immersive 360 Spatial Sound
If the music source you're listening to is 2-channel stereo, then new 360 Spatial Sound comes into play. It enables the Xperia 5 III to upmix your favorite stereo tracks into an immersive sound experience, in real time. The technology works with local audio files and streaming services to further enhance your listening experience.6.
Full-Stage stereo speakers for powerful, high-quality sound
Positioned at the front of the phone, the Xperia 5 III features Full-Stage stereo speakers to deliver immersive, high-quality sound when playing music or videos.
Hear your opponents coming
Audio equalizer lets you heighten sounds such as footsteps or gunshots, so you can hear your opponents coming and react before they do.7.
Fluid motion with 120Hz
On the native 120Hz Refresh rate display7, fast-moving objects are rendered clearly for seriously smooth gameplay.
Strike first in the dark
An invaluable new gaming feature, L-γ raiser (Low gamma raiser) makes it easier to see your opponents in the dark.7 By enhancing image details in dark areas, it highlights your enemies without overexposing bright areas of the screen. So you can hit them before they hit you.
Four versatile lenses give you more creative options
With its four versatile lens options up to 105mm, you can expand your repertoire of shots and take your cinematography to the next level.

Built tough for everyday life

Brandonhabanero, Pittsburgh, PA:
Sony phones are some of the few that still have the 3.5mm headphone jack and a flat screen while still performing competitively with apple and Samsung. No bloatware, super fast screen, and the 5 iii fits so nicely in my pocket that I can still play guitar without having to take it out. There's minimal photo processing, so photos don't look as crisp out of the box, but that's good if you're trying to take selfies that don't make your face look 20 years older than it is.
