While I enjoyed using the Sony Xperia 5 III as my full-time phone, I didn’t find enough updates here to justify a purchase over last year’s Xperia 5 II. Its screen is slightly less responsive, while the handset also seems to heat up faster with the Snapdragon 888 chipset – and there’s no excuse for Sony to skip on wireless charging. On balance, I’d say look at last year’s model instead and save yourself some money.
