Information on security updates


Where a Sony product contains software that is subject to updates, Sony may issue security updates and updates necessary for the proper functioning of the device.

Professional technology from Alpha cameras


The Xperia 5 III was co-developed with the engineers behind the latest Alpha 9 series cameras, renowned for their industry-leading autofocus technology, and with input from professional photographers, who helped tune the technology and refine the photographic experience and results. Key features include fast AF in all three cameras, plus object tracking technology to maintain sharp focus on moving subjects.

Four versatile lens options to unleash your creativity

3.5mm audio jack for ultimate sound quality


Thanks to improvements to materials and electronic components, the 3.5mm audio jack on the Xperia 5 III not only offers convenience but also delivers high fidelity sound quality.
