Snapdragon 888 5G runs the show here, paired with 12GB RAM across both storage options. That's enough grunt for anything you throw at it in 2024, and UFS 3.X storage keeps things quick. The 6.5-inch OLED panel is the real party piece though: 4K resolution at 21:9, 120Hz refresh, and proper HDR support, which is rare combo even now.

Camera-wise, Sony went with a triple 12MP setup co-tuned with Zeiss, and the telephoto actually does real 3x and 4.4x optical zoom rather than leaning on cropping. All three lenses use Dual Pixel PDAF plus OIS on the main and tele modules, so low-light stills and video should hold up. Video maxes out at 4K120 with 5-axis stabilization, useful if you shoot a lot of handheld footage.

Battery sits at 4500mAh with 30W wired charging, plus wireless and reverse wireless charging built in. Sony Xperia 1 III price in Malaysia starts from RM2350. It's IP65/IP68 rated, keeps the 3.5mm jack, and still runs Android 11 out of the box.
