Renders of the Sony Xperia Compact came online just recently. However, now newer leaks of Sony Xperia 1 III with images are surfacing online. The leaks come from OnLeaks showing a more powerful zoom lens in the images. To recall, the smartphone’s predecessor rear camera bump is quite similar to this new rumored successor.

However, if you look closely at the bottom camera, it features a squared-off housing consistent with periscope designs. If we remember, previous Xperia phones offer standard telephoto lenses with 2x or 3x optical zoom. A periscope design can allow for 5x or more optical reach without sacrificing image quality in the Sony Xperia 1 III.
OnLeaks also reports that the Xperia 1 III will include 5G, practically a requirement for any flagship phone in 2021. Unlike its predecessors, it is likely that Sony will offer 5G support for 1 III devices sold in the US. Moreover, it also looks like the Sony Xperia 1 III will stick with Sony’s minimalist approach. The 6.5-inch display’s bezels are very thin, and Sony is sticking with the tall 21:9 aspect ratio. The 1 III should also retain the 3.5mm headphone jack — a rarity among flagships — as well as a microSDXC card slot.

The company’s the major manufacturer of imaging hardware, however, it still lags behind other flagships in the software department for cameras. As we all know, Sony Xperia 1 II focussed on computational photography. However, if the company brings in Sony Xperia 1 III focussing on a dedicated camera-like experience that the phone can offer – it can shine through.
