Sony Xperia 5 III | Unboxing & Full Tour

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ค. 2024
- Unboxing the Sony Xperia 5 III ahead of my full review, including a camera tour, full specs, gaming test with Genshin Impact and more. Here in the UK, the Xperia 5 III hits stores next month from £899, but is it one of the best premium smartphones of 2021?
Sony's more compact version of the Mark 3 flagship phone offers very similar specifications and features, including a near identical triple-lens camera setup. All that's missing there is a ToF sensor for real time object tracking. Performance is hot thanks to the Snapdragon 888 chipset, so gaming on PubG, CODM etc is effortless. Plus the Xperia 5 III boasts the same gamer features as the Xperia 1.
You've got the same size battery and a more compact form factor at 6.1-inches. Sure, there's no 4K resolution, but the HDR smarts and visual effects are back in action.
Full review of the Xperia 5 Mark 3 coming soon, in the meantime let me know your thoughts!

Hoping to boff out a full review next week, but what do you reckon so far? Is the Mark 3 hitting expectations? Cheers for watching!
I've got my Sony Xperia 5 II a couple of months ago and I don't see too much difference with the Mark 3. Apart from the microprocessor and the new camera hardware, which are not critical for me, I don't see too many reasons for upgrade. I hope the new camera app is updated in Xperia 5 II though. Maybe people with the original Xperia 5 or older Xperia models can see a huge difference 👍
@@jmoralesv03 I feel like you I have the 5ii since last October . This new on seems to only have slightly better zoom . And everything else the same
Great review as ever Chris. I have the mk ii at the moment don't think I would change. If they had put wireless charging on it and fixed a few of the other niggles I have (auto brightness jumps around a lot, signal strength not great, touch sensitivity issues using gesture back key particularly bad with screen protector) then I may have gone for it. I don't game so the heating on the 888 would not be a big concern to me
It looks amazing
🤤🤤
I've been using the Xperia 5 for the past year and thoroughly impressed with it as an all round phone. Especially for media, gaming and camera functions. It has definitely restored my faith in Sony phones and at this rate my next phone will most likely be another Xperia.
Same here, bought my Xperia 5 early 2020 and just ordered the Xperia 5III (Both Imported as they don't sell them in Australia).
not having the real-time tracking is annoying, hopefully the object tracking is good enough.
How is it still holding up?
@@coreeman101 Still using it, but looking to upgrade in the summer. The phone is still going strong, very close to stock Android UI experience. No lagging, still performs well, camera is brilliant once you get the hang of it. The only downside is the battery life isn't as good as it was even though I activate battery care mode. But I'm definitely shortlisting the Sony Xperia range for my next upgrade. Most of my family have iPhones and Samsungs but I honestly do prefer my Xperia for a better all-round experience.
compact phone + zeiss lens + stock android no bloatwares + headphone jack. This is the phone is what I'm looking for.
I was toying with the idea of going down a size, after two years of the Xperia1. But the Xperia1 III 😍 is too good and beautiful. Therefore, it has again become the flagship this year 👌
Watching this review on my xperia xz3, can't wait to pick this one up in 3 weeks! Can't wait.
Thank you very much for the review. I've always loved your videos, please keep up the good work. Also, I just realized the 5 iii has curved edges unlike the 1
Congrats on passing 600k. Keep up the great vids champ 👌
I see you're a man of culture Tech Spurt.👌
Nice unboxing and hands on review as always bro
Awesome, the green color looks great.
Watching on my Xperia 5ii. Love it. Good for now and looking forward to 5iiiiiiii. Mean 5 mark 4 lol!
Sony should make an exact equivalent of this phone, but with a larger screen, around 6.7inch diagonal. Or, even better, make a 16:9 or 18:9 display version for us people who don't like so much the stretched 21:9 display.
Other than that, Sony is doing pretty well in all other areas.
Love the metal glass sandwhich design (Shame on Samsung for ditching it), keeping of the useful features (top/bottom bezels - though I wish we still had some slim physical home button + capacitive buttons on the chin), MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm jack, classic shape flat rectangular display - awesome stuff.
Super detailed review as usual..your reviews are full of energy and there no dull moment ♥️ I wish you showed us the green or pink model 😎 also don't change the theme and wallpapers 😎
Can't wait for the full review! Can you do a bit about the dac and the audio quality.
It's the fucking first time after a very very very long time that I didn't faced any ad on your vid
Can't wait to get my hands on it
Excellent phone nice feature nice design nice camera nice display thanks sir .
Awesome! I'm getting this!
Very likely to be my new phone. Top specs, relatively small package, expandable storage, headphone jack. That's all I want and Sony seems to be the only company offering this.
So sod the price. I want one!
And it's water proof too!
@@whocares2465 Sony was basically the manufacturer who invented waterproof phones, so it's expected on Xperia phones.
@@commentarysheep yes just saying because most manufacturers don't have that in every phone
Agree. Idk why top end SoC, decent screen & refresh rate, expandable storage and headphone jack are so hard to find in one package.
Chris is going well with reviews and unboxing videos
Im now an big fan of your yt channel and good video as well :)
Cheers, lots to cover atm!
I miss using XPERIA
Love for SONY
You really should have mentioned what was really different over the 5ii. Other than the Snapdragon 888 which everyone should steer clear of better just getting last year's model and save some money.
Sorry just out of curiosity why is the snapdragon 888 bad?
@@bsli5700 known to have issues with over heating. Nearly every phone fitted with it seems to suffer. The 865 on the Xperia 5 ii does not have the issues and the difference in performance is negligible. Just my experience anyway .
My girlfriend has the s21 witch also has the snapdragon 888 and shill play pokemon go.. She puts the game on auto walk all night n when she wakes up the phones not hot at all she does this almost everynight I don't see any issues with over heating.. And if u know anything about pokemon go that game really takes a toll on ur phone
There's not a huge amount, specs-wise - as the Mark 3 was launched only a few months after the Mark 2. Last gen already had the 120Hz screen etc, so not much reason at all to upgrade to this one if you already have the 2020 model
@@TheHpsauce37 thank u for this info!
Xperia, my dream phone.
finally here they come
It’s the perfect size and shape for a smartphone
Best Savage Intro TH-cam reviewer on this planet 🤣👌
Chris you’re class 👌
Can you confirm if it still has "Answering Machine" in the phone app like we had back in the day with Xperia Z3/compact
Does the 5iii AUTO-CORRECT highlights in blown out skies when the subject matter is a bit dark like the iPhone does?
Nice phone. 👍 Thanks Chris 😀
How's the signal strength? I have the 1 ii right now, and it's horrible compared to my old Nokia 8. I'm in T-mobile and it's very bad. I get 0-1 bar on the Sony and 2 on the Nokia.
This beast appeals more to the masses.
It's very ulikely. Who is going to buy $1000 unavailable everywhere smartphone with dated design, not bright enough screen at direct sunlight, average battery life, overheating issues, missing stuff like Wireless charging or 3D Face unlock and crappy selfie camera? Exactly, a blind Sony fanboy only!
@@victorrumyantsev3718 Sony is definitely for a certain niche. And Sony knows that.
@@victorrumyantsev3718 Sony phones at least were trustworthy to me.
No false advertising of camera features (like how I got duped into buying the Exynos version of the S10e because everyone reviewed the Snapdragon 855 version on TH-cam with the better processing algorythms and with the Sony sensors) or with the promised timeframe for software updates (like what Huawei did to the P9 and almost to the Honor 8) and no benchmark score sorcery behind the scenes, like with Huawei, Samsung or OnePlus. What you see on a Sony is what you get with a Sony. Aside from them, really only Apple and Asus make small phones nowadays and don't even expect a headphone jack or expendable storage on your Apples and Samsungs.
And Sony's camera software has been SIGNIFICANTLY improved over the years to shoot sharp photos and videos.
I've been duped so many times by other Android manufacturers that because I don't like the "walled garden" approach of Apple, really the only choice I have to keep the small form factor, the headphone jack and Micro SD expandibility alive is by going back to those Sony phones I once adored.
I know I have to work my arse off in tandem with university, but I'm sure it's going to be worth it for an excellent compact flagship from a Japanese company whose name on a smartphone guarantees longevity.
@@victorrumyantsev3718 me lol I'm not a fangirl by any means, I'm using a Xiaomi phone currently and I love it, but the good thing about Sony flagships is that after a while you can find them for really cheap on Ebay, the 5II is going for 350 pounds refurbished at the moment. That's an amazing price for a flagship from last year, half the price of a refurbished S21. Plus it has an headphone jack and sd card slot, and I like that the camera has so many options to thinker with it close to a real camera, it will be useful for me to learn photography. I don't really care about any of the things you mentioned a part from maybe low brightness in the sun. Wireless charging is fun for the first few times you use it, then you notice it absolutely destroys your phone battery so not worth it
@@victorrumyantsev3718
Overheating was an issue on the Z5, a phone from 6 years ago.
This Dated Design at least is different by the copypasting done by Chinese Brands.
4000mah are more than enough for a phone.
Wireless Charging has been proved to ruin batteries so good that they don't have it.
3D Face Unlocking... who cares? There's that rad fingerprint reader on the unlock button, something not many phones use in favour of that horrible back side reader.
Crappy Selfie Camera? It looks anything but shit to me but hey, be my guest on that.
I don't want to fight or be harsh but you seems like you're blindly hating.
Great review and the phone looks interesting. Probably going to hold off on this one for now as I decided to go cheaper this time around and just bought a Google Pixel 4a 5G.
I had a Pixel 4a for a while, great phone!
This looks promising 👍
It's a 1080p bro...a 1440p would have been good if not a 4k
@PAUL MH38 no. actually the series numbers upgraded mark2 to mark3.
@PAUL MH38 so mark II has zoom lens? 4500mha battery? Snapdragon 888? Video output? And etc...
@PAUL MH38 you answer like bot same thing over and over again lol...
Can't wait to get this phone
need upgrade my 4y old huawei 20pro, think this xperia 5 III will be nice replacemnt, can just someone confirm that there is video option 4k 60fps, or just 30 and 120 fps
This is the earliest I've ever been
Yeah
GSM arena
Hi there, Zenphone 8 and 5 III, which one you think is better?
Im early again. Noyze!!
NIce vid, as always
Dude stop ..... how are you not tired by uploading every day 😲
Hello, What is the first movie you watched during your test, please ...
how is the gaming thermals with HS on?
Considering how good base phones are now the more you pay is a law of diminishing returns
Aye, when you can get phones like the Pixels, Poco F3, S20 FE etc for a lot less cash, it's definitely hard to justify spending this kind of cash
@@TechSpurt don't forget to add the ZenFone 8 to that list
@@TechSpurt Yea, if Poco F3 had my radio bands, I might have gotten it, out of desperation. S20 FE still has that damn hole, but one of the few Samsungs that hasn't gone full stupid.
@@doubts I can't justify the A52 - it basically is on par with an S7, it'd be like buying a worse version, in some ways, of the level of phone I already have.
@@bipbop3121 shows how little you know if you seriously think the A52 is a worse version of the S7
Great video
Is camera still flickering as in outher models?
Sony needs a compact smartphone like previous generations
Are these front facing speakers like the Xperia 1 lll?
Where can I get it from India plz?
I dont know anyone living abroad aswell
is 28 mobile good?
Grrat video man. What's the best android phone on the market the now other than the s21 ultra? Ty.
WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER#1 ✌️ 👑
that Mha background just earned you a sub
When will it be available in Belgium? My old Sony Xperia really had its time and never encountered problems with it. Would love to buy the new Xperia 5 III.
So please. What about the back and home button?
How are Sony with updates and patches?
Please how to buy sony xperia 5 global rom original phone ..... im from sri lanka
One of my dream phone brand, its either Nokia, Oneplus, and Sony ex
Does it support call recording?
Can we have a
Sony 5 iii vs Asus zenfone 8?
SHOTOOOOO!!!!!
hi Tech Spurt can i get Sony Xperia 10 VI from you I want to buy one
Does it worth to top up the money from Xperia 5 iii to Xperia 1 iii ?
Changing shirts half way through a shoot, Uncle Spurt?
Does anyone know if I can use my old SD card from my HTC U11 and the photos and videos will transfer over without any issues? Tried the same thing with a Galaxy S7 and didn't work with all of the files.
It should. I was able to simply insert my old SD card into my 1 II, no problem
Supposedly, it should work. Try using files by Google to transfer your files.
@@SonyEnthusiast From which phone? Cheers
@@MemememememememememeSexyme from my Sony Xperia 10 Plus
Sony ❤️
What phone do you use ?
So the only camera difference between the new 5 and 1 is the new autofocus hardware ? The 1 has just become available for preorder here in Belgium for 1300€ ( with some headset included, but not the top of the range one like used to be the case ). So it's hard choosing between those 2 phones... but I really want to get rid of my S10, I've had enough of Samsung custom UI and menu's, non working casting to my Sony TV, and I had a non working Google assistant also, but that's fixed with a factory reset luckily. Thanks for your Sony reviews, I'm so glad they continue with Xperia phones these days ( after they dropped Vaio laptops etc... )
I had a screen response issue on the 5ii. Sony do so well but the drop the ball on simple things.
Can you get the 1iii in green? Shame you can't record 4K 60fps. I love that feature on the Samsung S21 Ultra.
You can record in 4K 120fps I've read.
I have the 5ii will they update the pro- camera app to the new one found on the 5ii?
I'm expecting the Pro app will get an update on older phones, Sony tends to retroactively add new features and apps to their older handsets
No.
Same way mark 1 did not get photo pro with android 11
what about heat problem? I use xperia5 for 2 years and now my phone overheat and lag everytime I play games or videos. I wish sony fixed this issue in the new coming phone. otherwise its amazing
Good job bro 👍👍👍
ආදරේ පැලෙන්න 💖
a toss up between this or sony xepria 5 ii?? which one mate? need to choose sharpish...help meh
5ii, seriously it's not much difference at all and a fraction of the cost. You won't be disappointed.
I really like your wallpaper 😍 where to download?
Did he say no 4k60 video recording? At this price??
Finally something sensible
Saviour of 2021 has arrived
this one or 1 III best to buy?
Sooooo....did they put out an official release date yet? Feel like I've been waiting forever for this one.
Out now
I'm sticking with my trusty Sony Xperia 5. X
Where 6.1 inches is considered compact
😭😭😭
Take me back
It is quite compact though. Despite that 6.1 inch display, it's width is about the same as the 5.9 inch Zenfone 8.
yeah, I miss when there was 4.5" phones
@@eUploads I wonder how small would a 4.5" phone with a 20:9 aspect ratio could be?
@@sokool3994 About the size of an iPhone 5 but with fullscreen and no bezels on top and bottom. I would have bought it instantly if that came out.
@@eUploads Heck, it could be even smaller. I expect it to be in between an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5 in sizing.
I love xperia
If money isnt an issue, do you recommend the 5 iii or the 1 iii? I listen to music , browse, and watch shorter videos on youtube, Prime Video and Netflix. I am not a fan of social media.
I am a bit worried about battery time on the 1 iii. Do you think the size difference will be noticable?
4 inch bigger display is a lot! Trust me i have tested both the 5 III and The 1 III and its a hugh difference in display
For me its was easy to choose between the 5 or 1. The 5 win easily for me!
Never been so early like literally 40seconds
Congrats on being first
I'd take this over the 1 iii any day
Thinking to get this in 2024.
I can't wait to pre order this any clues when will this be out?
So far Sony's being quite vague, I've only heard 'September'
@@TechSpurt Thanks for the reply and when you review please cover some ground on video recording capabilities since most of the reviewers are mostly focused on the photos only, cheers.
Yay! This is the phone I've been waiting for! Please be good please be good please be good
Dude where did you get those wallpapers share it please
Even I'm also looking for those dope wallpapers. If you got, share the original like here.
Any chance we can uninstall the bloat - main reason I held off buying an X5ii - apparently even monsters like CallOfDuty were mandatory, uninstallable bloat?!?
Sony is Symbol of Quality & Premium design
Facts
Nope
👍
Design? Yes. Quality? Nope.
@@ArturKwaszyn After 10 years of iPhone a bought a Xperia 1 2 years ago, and it's the best phone I ever had. Most stable, better performance.
I like this phone very much but it's not available in India 😫
What would happen with a formal tech spurt episode?
888 under control here?
Anyone thinking of upgrading from the mark one Xperia 5?
What's the movie/show at 4:56 ?
Looks like Raya and the Last Dragon
