Sony’s trio of phones tick boxes at various price points

-

SONY is unleashing a trio of Xperia phones in the coming months that’ll suit all tastes and every budget.

If your bank balance is healthy then the most premium of the bunch is the Xperia 1 III, which includes one of the best displays in the business.

Fire up Netflix and you’ll be treated to a pin-sharp 6.5in OLED screen which is fully 4K HDR compatible and should make watching movies on your mobile as good as your TV.

Its 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling through emails and playing the latest games feel silky smooth.

On the back, there’s a new triple camera which gets a telephoto lens to help improve up-close and personal shots. Real-time Tracking tech makes sure your subject always stays in focus and Sony says it has packed the latest image stabilisat­ion inside this phone to help keep your home movies wobble-free.

Other extras include louder speakers with more bass, a monster battery, fast charging and a headphone port to plug in your favourite cans.

You also get the very latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and full access to 5G, making this the fastest phone Sony has ever made.

Prices will be announced soon but we wouldn’t bank on getting much change from £1000.

If that sounds a bit rich then Sony is also releasing a new Xperia 5 III which is smaller in size and in price.

This packs a triple rear camera and 6in OLED screen although it’s not 4K. Although the screen can’t match its bigger brother Xperia 1 III, you still get that fast 888 processor, big battery and all-important 5G network speeds.

The final phone from Sony could be perfect for anyone not wanting to stump up for a flagship, with the Xperia 10 III expect to cost around £350.

For that money, you’ll get a triple camera, 6in OLED display and impressive battery life.

Sony has packed an improved Qualcomm under the bonnet of its new Xperia 10 III which should not only improve performanc­e but also bring 5G data speeds to the cheaper end of the market.

All of these new devices are due to be available in early summer.
