There are many smartphones, but the compact Japanese flagship is one!

7.8/10Rating according to FerraSony Xperia 5 IIIn September of this year, even before the announcement, I managed to use it for a short time

smartphone. Am I lucky? I'm sure I was lucky.And it’s not about the impressions of coming into contact with something that no one has yet. Although they do occur, of course. I was lucky to compare my own feelings both from the first minutes of use and from the period of testing the smartphone. Almost six months passed between these events, the flagship had time to rest properly and now at least there is something to compare it with. After all, there is something to do with it?

It somehow happened that the Xperia 5 II isXperia 1, but only from an alternate universe where all smartphones have 120Hz displays, the devices themselves are small and look nice. This is not to say that the Xperia 1 II is the main flagship, and the Xperia 5 II is some kind of side branch of development with cut characteristics and a slightly understated price. The Xperia 1 II, for example, does not have a high refresh rate screen, although the review hero does. But the “big brother” has a 4K display and an additional camera module. Now these are two almost equal lines (updates arrive faster on the Xperia 1 II after all), but with different audiences.
