Sony’s new, compact Xperia 5 III is finally making its way to Malaysia. The new smartphone is now up for pre-order from Sony Malaysia.
The smaller sibling of the Xperia 1 III was announced earlier in April 2021 alongside its larger sibling. However, it is only making its way around the world now. The Xperia 5 III will be available for pre-order starting on 20th November 2021 until 20th December 2021.
The Xperia 5 III doesn’t sacrifice much to get its compact size. The smartphone packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. Of course, you can get more memory with the use of a microSD card. It also comes with a 6.1-inch OLED display with an FHD+ resolution of 1080×2520 pixels.
On the camera side of things, it comes with the same triple camera setup you get on the Xperia 1 III. The three sensors are 12-megapixel sensors with ultrawide, telephoto, and wide lenses. Not to forget the inclusion of Zeiss optics and Zeiss T* lens coating for better picture quality. The phone’s setup allows it to shoot in 4K resolution at up to 120fps.
You can pre-order the Xperia 5 III at the official Sony Online Store for MYR4,599. Pre-orders come with a pair of Sony WF-XB700 true wireless earbuds worth MYR549. There is only one colour available for pre-order: green.
