Design and Display
The Sony Xperia 5 III is a premium phone available in a mesmerising green colour, but it also comes in black and pink in other countries.

Also, the Xperia 5 is essentially the Xperia 1 in a smaller package. It has a 6.1-inch Full HD+ 21:9 OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. All of these specs ensure you’ll get vivid colours and fluid animation throughout your videos and movies!
Cameras
Given Sony’s reputation as a smartphone camera expert, the Sony Xperia 5 III is more suited for photographers than regular users. The phone has incredible technology on its camera system that requires photographic skills to fully exploit its potential.
