Sony Xperia 1/5/10 III

Surprised nothing has appeared on here yet, Sony have just announced their next series of flagship. At a quick glance, they look good though 4K @ 120 will be interesting on the battery.



The specs sound very similar with the 5 being smaller.

Rest of post - pending.

Apparently Russian deals are coming with a free pair of XM3s .

If the new ones have a good battery life, decent cameras and come with a pair of XM3s...................

Will complete my Sony trifector after buying an A7iii recently.

 

[doodah]

I'd want XM4's now, lol

Haha totally but beggars can't be choosers , plus there isn't a huge jump between the generations.

 

[doodah]

We want the 5 and 1 please!

And maybe some XM3 or 4s - not picky .

10 III in for review with GSMArena.

Quite an impressive way to kill all hype about your own product and I am not sure Sony should be commanding those prices.

However when I bought my Xperia 5ii I'm sure retail was £300 more than the £599 I paid and I got the deal of free wireless headphones that cost £160.

If I hadn't gone the cheap Chinese option, the new Xperias (my very first Android was an Xperia S ) were definitely on my radar especially with the free headphones. But I just kept waiting and waiting, so just bit the bullet and bought an Poco F3.

You can definitely spot the slight lack of polish and refinement compared to the likes of Sony, Apple and Samsung but at £350 (£289 if I had caught the recent sale), this price point and features set is hard to beat.
