Snapdragon 888 5G sits under the hood here, paired with 8GB RAM and a choice of 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.X storage. That's flagship-tier processing in a body compact enough to use one-handed, something increasingly rare in 2021-era phones. The 6.1-inch OLED panel runs at 120Hz and keeps the tall 21:9 ratio Sony favours, useful if you watch a lot of widescreen video or want the extra scrolling real estate.

The camera setup is where this one stands apart from typical Android flagships. All three 12MP rear sensors are matched in resolution, with the telephoto lens offering genuine 3x and 4.4x optical zoom through Zeiss T* coated glass, not a cropped digital approximation. OIS covers both the main and telephoto modules. Sony Xperia 5 III price in Malaysia starts from RM2299.

Battery capacity is a modest 4500mAh, but 30W fast charging gets you to half in around 30 minutes. You still get IP65/IP68 water resistance, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and stereo speakers, features many rivals dropped by this point. It ships in Black, Green, or Pink, running Android 11 out of the box.
