Also depends on which one, having a camera to scan a picture of your fingerprint isn't really that revolutionary. The other is the ultra sonic sensor that other phones used before until Samsung put it under the screen - which is a little more interesting.

    If only it had stereo speakers to boot! 😩

                  Snapdragon 690 for nearly 500 dollars? Are you kidding me? I'm not a Sony hater. I have some great Sony products. But this is a weak phone.

Had it for the almost a year now and saying it is unreliable is a great understatement. I got every finger registered twice and the chances it unlocks the phone are fifty fifty.

                      TECH--BEAST , 30 May 2021Where is xperia 1 III? Sony has started to ship units in China.
                      Sales are more than expected.
                      All units available for pre-order sold out.

                      Japanese carriers were gonna get it in two weeks, now it is being pushed to mid july.
                      I think few placesmin Europe get in late june or mid july.
                      Sweden just end of august like USA.

                      5 iii is not being made yet.

                              Side mounted fingerprint on the power button is the best you can have on a phone.
                              Taking it from a table in one move and unlock it.
                              Not possible with screen or back mounted finger print sensor.
                              That was the main reason to buy the Xperia1 ii after the Xperia 1.
                              Only one button for finger print and power!

                                >>Sadly Sony wasn't able to tuck a fingerprint scanner underneath and instead there's a side-mounted one.

                                Does side mounted scanner somehow degrade interaction with phone? Or slower? Or look bad?

                                        This phone does not have stereo speakers! It has dual speakers - the top speaker is used for calls, and the bottom one is used for playing multimedia sound.
