The Sony Xperia 1 III has been leaked: first images and features

Sony is one of the longest-established manufacturers in the mobile phone industry. His temporary union with Ericsson gave rise to some of the most iconic models in history, but for some time he seems to be trying to find his place.

The launch in recent days of the Sony Xperia Pro 5G shows us where the shots are going, targeting a really narrow niche of users.

Sony Xperia 1 II, analysis: the most professional camera in a mobile

We analyze the Xperia 1 II, a premium mobile designed to offer the most cinematic experience possible, in every way.

However, in 2021 a new more conventional model will see the light, the Sony Xperia 1 III, the third in a series of mobiles that bet on their own aesthetic.

Steve Hemmerstoffer, better known as Onleaks, was in charge of showing us how the new model will be in some renderings that use, as always, the final plans as a guide.

In them we see that on the outside there are many changes, the front being dominated by a huge elongated screen with a 21: 9 ratio and with tight frames, but not as small as in other manufacturers.

The rear does not change much either, keeping the camera module and a glass finish that moves away from the polycarbonate of the model announced this week. The perimeter frame is metallic and the dimensions will be 161.6 x 67.3 x 8.4mm, the latter rising to 9.6mm at the camera’s overhang.

The screen has a diagonal of 6.5 inches with a 21: 9 ratio and 4K resolution, with HDR and OLED technologies. In addition, it will be flat, as it seems to be a trend again in recent months.

With regard to the cameras, there are three at the rear, but a fourth ToF sensor is incorporated, in line with what we have seen in Apple this past 2020. In addition, the optical zoom sensor finally opts for a periscope system, we assume that of 5 increases.

What is the periscope zoom of Android phones

Periscope zoom made its entrance to Android phones last year and is gaining ground. We tell you what it is, how it works and what advantages it gives.

Other leaked features are the support of 5G networks, something to be expected, the presence of a headphone jack, a rarity or the possibility of using microSD cards.

The fingerprint sensor will remain on the power button and we will have two front speakers, as in gaming mobiles.
