Making phone calls, sending messages, surfing the internet - for most people, everyday life is hardly conceivable without a smartphone. It is therefore all the more important to be able to rely on the devices.

The Xperia 5 III is one of the most compact high-end smartphones. Sony has a strong alternative to the top model Xperia 1 III, which costs around 250 euros, in its portfolio. Not only with the dimensions, but also with the display, Sony dances a little out of line with the 21:9 format...
- Very high speed
- Large display diagonal
- No wireless charging
- Display not always bright enough
Despite its large diagonal, the Xperia 5 III remains pleasantly slim. The speed is strong, and the 21:9 display is particularly enjoyable for gaming and watching films, as long as the surroundings are not too bright. The camera was weak, but apart from inductive charging, the Xperia is well equipped.
Sony presents its high-tech dwarf as the first choice for photographers, music fans, gamers, film lovers and friends of compact mobile phones with high performance demands. Indeed, there is a lot on offer for each group. However, the photo quality is a little disappointing, the endurance could be better and wireless charging could be on board.

The update promise, on the other hand, is not at all impressive. An alternative is the very similarly equipped, also handy and also cheaper Asus Zenfone 8 (c't 14/21, p...
All in all, this is a strong alternative to the 1 III, which pleases with its handy dimensions and outstanding endurance. However, the lack of Qi tarnishes the impression somewhat.
