I was in the market for phones and these 2 were my main choice. I bought the ROG5 for $711 and I have ZERO complaints or regrets. I was VERY interested in the Xperia 1 III but the price is not worth it. The miniscule difference in performance between the phone shown in the video solidifies that for me. No one will notice that speed difference. It doesn't make sense to spend double the money for 4K and a really good camera for me.
I too am in the market for a new phone, and while I agree with you that the price difference is considerable between the two, the durability and IP rating of the Sony versus the ROG's nonexistant IP rating makes it worth the price. It's one thing to buy a $711 phone over a $1200. It's another thing to have to pay $711 again because the phone couldn't handle a rainy day. If these were stationary desktop computers, then I'd understand, but they're phones. They go in pockets. They flex. They need to bump into things occasionally. They need to go outside. The ROG Phone 5 is especially weak due to it's dual battery frame. It failed Jerry Rig Everything's durability test and while I don't think it's necessary to have to pass that test in order for a phone to be considered good, after doing some digging I've been seeing far too many ROG owners complaining about broken phones and no support after purchase. What still has me in the ROG camp though are the air triggers, the back buttons, the fan accessory that adds two more buttons, the side mounted charging port, and the rest of the ROG phone accessory lineup. I just really wish Sony, and more manufacturers to be honest, would follow suit in that regard. I actually love the muted aesthetic of Sony devices but the expandability and functionality of the ROG phones is unmatched. I think I might wait for the ROG phone 6 before committing to a purchase. If they're able to offer some kind of durability features and/or expand the functionality in some creative way I might drop my coin their way, but if not, I just might pick up a used Xperia 1 III.

Uh yeah. Cause it whoops Sony. OK Sony opens apps a tiny hair quicker. But a real performance test would show far greater differences and in favor of rog. Which is also better in display brightness, speakers, headphone audio, battery, and even still comparable in camera
The only thing that bothers me in your videos is that there is sometimes no consistency in the results. Only take for example the results of boot time of xperia 1 III. In the video against the iPhone it took 25 seconds to boot up, which is much slower then the iPhone. In this video it takes 16.5 seconds which would be faster then the iPhone (against mi 11 it took 17.5). So I think this variety is definitely not normal and fakes the end result a bit if you only watch one video for example. If you could keep this in mind and watch out for it that would be nice. Apart from that, keep up the good work, I really enjoy watching your videos.
ROG 5 : pick me if you want a gaming phone with beast performance Xperia 1 III : i am THE GAME boi :D damn, Sony always able to produce such a beast smartphone but why do they sucks on marketing and after sales market ???
Let's be honest, between these two phones, nobody is going to pick based on a few fractions of a second in loading difference, etc.. both are clearly fantastic. It will come down to camera, design, features, screen, battery life, internet speeds, network compatibility, etc.. where imo the Sony still wins most of those categories, but both are pretty great.
Aside from sd slot and screen resolution the rog win in almost everything. The only other exception being Verizon or sprint compatibility. Even then the lg v60 is better in most other ways just like the rog. Both are better in Speakers, headphone audio,, brightness, battery, v60 heat Sony in 5g tests, etc. Even comparable on camera with both. And rog has far better performance longevity and cooling.
I would LOVE to see a full comparison between these two phones. My short list of phones to buy is: Xperia 5 iii (which is similar to this) ROG phone 5 Samsung a52 5G These are the few phones that come with the features I look for in a smartphone (give or take), headphone jack, expandable memory, good (preferably front facing) speakers, battery life, and good cameras.
This video has nothing to do with gaming, run CPU throttle test on both devices and you'll get to know which device is meant for gaming. If you want a phone that open apps quickly, just buy iPhones.
@@deejay4058 if you want an unethically manufactured, unrepairable device, just buy iPhones. It should be noted that TechNick did an Xperia vs. the new iPhone pro keyword spammer thing benchmark just like the one in this video, and the Xperia won with ease. For the majority of tasks that you might use a phone for, the Xperia is clearly superior to the ROG phone and any iPhone.
@@youtubeairways8646 You didn't get my point . ROG phone is built for gaming which is where the real performance of a mobile device is tested where majority of phones like this xperia will end up throttling when the processor is pushed to its limits . For opening apps quickly , you can rely on iphones as they use nvme based storage and will outperform the android phones in most cases , not that I'm implying this will make the games run faster and keep the device cooler , that's the part where we would see the real-world performance which is completely skipped in videos like these , the biggest joke here is that using a phone like Rog 5 that tamed Snapdragon 888 overheating issue in a way , it doesn't even get to flex its muscle , the other sad part is , to unlock the real high performance mode of Rog Phone 5 , need to enable advanced mode and max out all performance metrics , Rog doesn't run at full speed even with Xmode enabled . It's so easy to manipulate people on TH-cam . The tasks that technik performed don't even require high end phones like these , any modern mid range phone with an optimised OS will do fine , no one buys these expensive phones to open apps half a second faster . You obviously are not aware of how powerful ROG Phone 5 is . I've owned two xperia phones in the past , Sony sets a relatively low thermal limit for their devices as compared to their Chinese competitors and they end up throttling hard during summer season .
@@deejay4058 where did you hear about modern Xperias throttling? I've heard that the vapor chamber design keeps this under control, and of course you can get an external phone cooler like the one that comes with the ROG Phone 5 to combat temperatures anyway. You mentioned that the ROG phone has performance modes that should unlock greater performance. So does the Sony. I use an Xperia XZ Premium, a smartphone that was released four years ago. It's never experienced throttling to an extent that it would impact any game that I play at maxed out settings, or any synthetic benchmark that I've run. Regarding app opening, benchmarks clearly show that the Xperia is faster than the iPhone. This is demonstrated in TechNick's fifth latest video as of 25/07/21 (link: th-cam.com/video/JMyciDXZEe8/w-d-xo.html ). Note that high-end PCs can't use the full capabilities of NVME or even SATA in real-world tasks, let alone a cheaply made smartphone. Also keep in mind the numerous performance-boosting custom ROMs that are available for Xperia devices, as they are very modifiable/open-source in nature. The I mk. III probably doesn't have many yet, but many older Xperias do. In fact, Sony has an official open devices program for enthusiasts to keep no longer supported devices up to date.
That's my next phone right there...Sony Xperia 1iii. Upgrading from Xperia XZ and will be getting the Xperia Pro-I as well for creating videos. Thanks for rhis video. Great job Sony! 😘😘😘
Hey Nick, thank you for making so many videos on the Xperia. I do have two questions. How long does the battery last you? Does it easily make it until the end of the day or not? And the other thing, how often does the phone overheats? Should we be worried about that? These are the two main things that are making it hard to decide if I want to invest in this phone. Thank you!
For people who don't know, rog phone 5's xmode is broken, it underclocks the processor, to get the best out of it, you need to enable advanced mode and manually max out cpu, gpu, ram parameters. Some people assume rog phone 5 always stays in performance, that's not true but yeah you can force it.
Damn Sony, and the ROG is meant to be faster because they claim it has an OC CPU and a dedicated gaming mode. Now we need to know which one keeps the phone cooler when gaming . Can you please make that test ?
hey nick, how are the speakers on the xperia compared to the ROG 5? the rog 5 and mi 11 ultra arguably have the best speakers on a smartphone and i want to know how the xperia 1 iii stacks up against them
Not impressed by how the battery is constantly draining on the Xperia during the test, other than that and the charging speed it is indeed an awesome phone to have!
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify it does not run on 4k at all times, otherwise the battery will be dead in a few minutes. It only run on 4k when there's an actual 4k content on the screen, A photo or a video.
@@dinr102 this phone xperia He was able to run a mobile code with 120 Hz for an entire hour without any heat, there is only a problem heat in genshin impact And I think the main reason is how to manage the performance of this game, because even PUBG Mobile does not cause this heat in general. This is not a defect in the phone, because gaming phones are not waterproof and dustproof, and this helps to take out the heat more.

That's a SONY smartphone.The technological masterpieces doesn't like this smartphone.
What? Over priced and 2-7 years behind other phones in key aspects? And barely properly available? Yes thats a Sony phone.
ROG 5 : pick me if you want a gaming phone with beast performance
Xperia 1 III : i am THE GAME boi :D
damn, Sony always able to produce such a beast smartphone but why do they sucks on marketing and after sales market ???
Let's be honest, between these two phones, nobody is going to pick based on a few fractions of a second in loading difference, etc.. both are clearly fantastic. It will come down to camera, design, features, screen, battery life, internet speeds, network compatibility, etc.. where imo the Sony still wins most of those categories, but both are pretty great.
Aside from sd slot and screen resolution the rog win in almost everything. The only other exception being Verizon or sprint compatibility. Even then the lg v60 is better in most other ways just like the rog. Both are better in Speakers, headphone audio,, brightness, battery, v60 heat Sony in 5g tests, etc. Even comparable on camera with both. And rog has far better performance longevity and cooling.
Wow Sony will go fucking beast mode with the mark 4, mark my words 😉
This phone is like an all around 8.5/10, mark 4 will be a 9.5/10 for sure
So fast both the phones and Nick getting back at work 😅❤️
I would LOVE to see a full comparison between these two phones. My short list of phones to buy is:
Xperia 5 iii (which is similar to this)
ROG phone 5
Samsung a52 5G
These are the few phones that come with the features I look for in a smartphone (give or take), headphone jack, expandable memory, good (preferably front facing) speakers, battery life, and good cameras.
Rog vision. Air triggers. Aux port. Side charging port. 144hz. Bypass charging system.65 watt charging. Id choose Rog phone 5.
We are waiting For Sony 1mark3 vs Red majic 6 and Sony 1mark3 vs Huawei mate40pro plus ....Love from pakistan
Looks like that performance-boosting RGB couldn't save ROG this time round..
This video has nothing to do with gaming, run CPU throttle test on both devices and you'll get to know which device is meant for gaming. If you want a phone that open apps quickly, just buy iPhones.
@@deejay4058 if you want an unethically manufactured, unrepairable device, just buy iPhones. It should be noted that TechNick did an Xperia vs. the new iPhone pro keyword spammer thing benchmark just like the one in this video, and the Xperia won with ease.
For the majority of tasks that you might use a phone for, the Xperia is clearly superior to the ROG phone and any iPhone.
@@youtubeairways8646 You didn't get my point . ROG phone is built for gaming which is where the real performance of a mobile device is tested where majority of phones like this xperia will end up throttling when the processor is pushed to its limits . For opening apps quickly , you can rely on iphones as they use nvme based storage and will outperform the android phones in most cases , not that I'm implying this will make the games run faster and keep the device cooler , that's the part where we would see the real-world performance which is completely skipped in videos like these , the biggest joke here is that using a phone like Rog 5 that tamed Snapdragon 888 overheating issue in a way , it doesn't even get to flex its muscle , the other sad part is , to unlock the real high performance mode of Rog Phone 5 , need to enable advanced mode and max out all performance metrics , Rog doesn't run at full speed even with Xmode enabled . It's so easy to manipulate people on TH-cam . The tasks that technik performed don't even require high end phones like these , any modern mid range phone with an optimised OS will do fine , no one buys these expensive phones to open apps half a second faster . You obviously are not aware of how powerful ROG Phone 5 is . I've owned two xperia phones in the past , Sony sets a relatively low thermal limit for their devices as compared to their Chinese competitors and they end up throttling hard during summer season .
@@deejay4058 where did you hear about modern Xperias throttling? I've heard that the vapor chamber design keeps this under control, and of course you can get an external phone cooler like the one that comes with the ROG Phone 5 to combat temperatures anyway. You mentioned that the ROG phone has performance modes that should unlock greater performance. So does the Sony.
I use an Xperia XZ Premium, a smartphone that was released four years ago. It's never experienced throttling to an extent that it would impact any game that I play at maxed out settings, or any synthetic benchmark that I've run.
Regarding app opening, benchmarks clearly show that the Xperia is faster than the iPhone. This is demonstrated in TechNick's fifth latest video as of 25/07/21 (link: th-cam.com/video/JMyciDXZEe8/w-d-xo.html ). Note that high-end PCs can't use the full capabilities of NVME or even SATA in real-world tasks, let alone a cheaply made smartphone.
Also keep in mind the numerous performance-boosting custom ROMs that are available for Xperia devices, as they are very modifiable/open-source in nature. The I mk. III probably doesn't have many yet, but many older Xperias do. In fact, Sony has an official open devices program for enthusiasts to keep no longer supported devices up to date.
@@youtubeairways8646 check the performance section of its gsmarena review . It's one of the worst performing Snapdragon 888 phone .
@Nick now you are influencing me to buy Xperia mark 1 lll
That's my next phone right there...Sony Xperia 1iii.
Upgrading from Xperia XZ and will be getting the Xperia Pro-I as well for creating videos. Thanks for rhis video. Great job Sony! 😘😘😘
If it was MKBHD channel, Sony would lose speed test against apple and Samsung lol 😂😂😂
He only wants apple and Samsung to win.
Nice video! always putting in so much effort
Damn you cute
Finally u are back from your holiday trip
Bruh...their is a seperate setting for Animation speed in the settings.Its not in the developer options
Hey Nick, thank you for making so many videos on the Xperia. I do have two questions. How long does the battery last you? Does it easily make it until the end of the day or not? And the other thing, how often does the phone overheats? Should we be worried about that? These are the two main things that are making it hard to decide if I want to invest in this phone. Thank you!
This time Sony has done a great job
Sony Wow!!! very impressive indeed
These are the difference we don't notice in daily life. Both are beast devices.
Best comparison vid😍😍😍
Just goes to show to NEVER underestimate Sony phones
I have a car with 21 speakers. Looking for a phone that will play the best and loudest music
A video of Sony Xperia 1 III Vs OnePlus 9 Pro Speedtest!!
Whats oneplus 9..thats shit.
This year's oneplus flagships are not good.
@@JiyuTomo yeah OxygenOS UI lost its optimisation after major updates!
Did you check the power mode settings are still on xmode after reboot? Sometimes after reboot it would reset to default performance profile
No the x mode was off
@@QuarterlyGod then why he didn't check?? And why he rebooted after turning it on..he could have turned it on after the rebooting test..so why??
@@songoku9094 oh bro he is sponsored by Sony that's why
For people who don't know, rog phone 5's xmode is broken, it underclocks the processor, to get the best out of it, you need to enable advanced mode and manually max out cpu, gpu, ram parameters. Some people assume rog phone 5 always stays in performance, that's not true but yeah you can force it.
Sony Xperia 1iii: I am speed
Undefeated 🔥
Sony vs OnePlus now 🔥🔥
Sony Is Gonna Send It In Trash 😂😂🤣
Sony be like- call the ambulance but not for me
Damn Sony, and the ROG is meant to be faster because they claim it has an OC CPU and a dedicated gaming mode. Now we need to know which one keeps the phone cooler when gaming . Can you please make that test ?
Didn't expect that
That's why I love Sony phone's..👍
Other brand: nobody cares if you're the fastest, you're not going to sell well.
Sony - we don't care $1300, buy it or not....we only have 1000 available lol
Watching this with my 3y.o xperia xz premium. 💪💪💪
I own this phone xz Premium was awesome and very fast in its time and now I own mark 2 And im waiting for my Mark 3 to get it
SONY FTW AGAIN 💪
agreed
Sony Xperia 1 Mark lll open the game faster than the "✌🏻gaming phone✌🏻" Asus RoG5
oh,god...sony is very very very very beautiful...
Where do you get the grey version??
Huawei Mate 40 Pro vs Sony Xperia 1 iii
It'll be a hell of a battle!
Legend is Always Be Legend
Sony Xperia 1 iii is King of All Time 💪
Bro please ask sony to launch this phone in india
hey nick, how are the speakers on the xperia compared to the ROG 5? the rog 5 and mi 11 ultra arguably have the best speakers on a smartphone and i want to know how the xperia 1 iii stacks up against them
Whats Next???Sony Xperia 1 III vs Sony Xperia 1 III...Damn Man!!!
But surprised with Sony's Killing performance....
Not impressed by how the battery is constantly draining on the Xperia during the test, other than that and the charging speed it is indeed an awesome phone to have!
It has the highest pixel and 120hz so not surprised...if it was full hd then it's a problem
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify it does not run on 4k at all times, otherwise the battery will be dead in a few minutes. It only run on 4k when there's an actual 4k content on the screen, A photo or a video.
so wat if it was faster?
does it considered as a gaming phone?
where is the trigger button like asus air trigger?
does it has stereo speakers?
Sony had a stereo speaker before Asus entered the phone market
@@s89kw yes i had it. 4k display is awesome. but it didn't last. its not a gaming phone. just a media phone
@@dinr102 this phone xperia He was able to run a mobile code with 120 Hz for an entire hour without any heat, there is only a problem heat in genshin impact And I think the main reason is how to manage the performance of this game, because even PUBG Mobile does not cause this heat in general. This is not a defect in the phone, because gaming phones are not waterproof and dustproof, and this helps to take out the heat more.
@@dinr102 "Gaming" Phones are just a marketing gimmick. Flagships are always superior.
it would beat asus rog hands down if only sony put an trigger button on top. then I would say a fair comparison
