Now onto the specs list: apparently the phone has the same cameras as the Xperia 1 II, but with improved zoom on one. That's 12.2MP on the main, ultra-wide and zoom lenses, with an additional Time-of-Flight (ToF) one. The front camera seems to be 8MP, which is surprisingly low-res, though in keeping with Sony's other phones.
Apparently the screen is 6.5 inches across, and will have a 4K resolution, which we've seen on other Sony phones, but the change here will be a 120Hz refresh rate, so the images are updated twice as quickly as on previous handsets from the company. This is the first 4K, 120Hz phone, so people who care about those specs will have only one option.
As a phone fan would likely predict, the Sony Xperia 1 III is said to use the Snapdragon 888 chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM, and
Android 11.
Finally, the battery is said to be 4,500mAh, a fair jump up from the 1 II's 4,000mAh. Charging speed isn't mentioned, but apparently the device will power wirelessly as well as with a plug.
