Xperia 5 iii could've been real hit if it was released 7 month ago. Now, only 3 weeks before the end of 2021 this phone still not available in the US and no updates from Sony on the pre order date, which makes me wander if it will ever happen at all. As of now you can buy International or the Asian version and it is a great phone for somebody who wants to spend $1000 - $1400 on the year old phone without 5G support.

Alpha, 04 Dec 202112Gb, what are you going to do? Operate a satellite at NASA... moreHuge difference from 2160p too 1440p or 1080p, much sharper even when zoomed in no blurs.
I own the phone , my sister has 1iii and I 5iii, .
It's Android you need more ram for smooth operation.
The Android system takes 4gb ram too run, every app you install eats ram. You're nagging about having more is not right when car owners Ferrari Lamborghini and Porsche still want more power torque.
Why is it bothering you if it's not costing you or you don't have too carry 5kg with you.
What do you even know about how Android operation. Puppets like you are a big Joker.
Then why don't you buy 4gb ram phones ?
My s21ultra has 16gb ram 512gb and I have 100 apps installed and after all those apps running it still shows 4gb ram free with no lags stuttering, try that in any 8gb ram phone, laggggggs and closing apps and reschedule other apps than this and that. Why all this hassle.

They still dont support cumulative updates, so when you buy a new Xperia, you have to pass through ALL the updates (12 so far) and it have taken almost the entire weekend (on and off) Why - sony? its 2021

I owned the z3 compact , z5 compact , x compact and xz2 compact ( skipped the xz1 compact ) . I need another new gen Sony compact flagship . I own the 5 iii since October and I am very very disappointed from this huge 68 mm wide phone , I need a 64-65 mm wide phone to use comfortably in one hand ( should have 6" screen ), I dislike my 5 iii because it is LARGE , very weak on screen brightness only 400 nits compared to latest 1000 nits Samsung and Iphone 13 pro , useless 8mp front camera , the processor is still lacking very high speed like the 13 pro , Sony the king of compacts failing again by stopping the compacts as iphone grabbed it with iphone 13 mini compact , lenovo and more joining into compacts , some human being needs compact smartphones in this world we don't want to carry tv , tablet , mega size , or big phones , we need first a phone we dont play games , we don't watch youtube we need a powerfull pocketable phone

SSJK, 28 Nov 2021But does the phone they sell have Google play services ? ... moreYou can flash a stock firmware coming from your region or a region of your choice! Sony hasnt been strict about it and no need to even unlock bootloader!

My 5 III arrived on Thursday. Imported from Hong Kong through mymobile.com.au for the best price I was able to find here in Australia.
Enjoying the phone so far and hope to get a good few years out of it like I did with the Nokia 8 I upgraded from.
The screen protector I got for it interferes with the proximity sensor which isn't a big deal for me. I probably didn't install it straight enough anyway...

Apparently Sony is the only brand that sells a good Snapdragon 888 phone... probably. Should we be congratulating them on not removing basic features?

Positive:
+ Stable and fast
+ Good battery life compared to pixel 5
+ Good Signal
+ Descent camera and post processing, although a bit outdated for the price
+ Good build quality everything is very tight
Negative:
- Too large, I would appreciate 5.5 size for midranger, I can't keep it in pants
- Slippery and frequently slides from hands or surfaces
- Proximity sensor is not good and often leads to ear clicks in cold conditions
- Price is too high, though I gladly paid it as there is no competition
- Default bumper is freakingly expensive
