The new Sony Xperia 1 III (read as «one mark three») has a 6.5-inch 4K OLED screen with a 120Hz high refresh rate, which is the first for any smartphone. It was announced at a virtual event on Wednesday alongside the smaller Xperia 5 III which has a 6.1-inch full HD 120Hz display. Both phones have a telephoto camera with an actual zoom lens that changes focal lengths and both mark Sony’s continued shift away from mainstream appeal and toward creative types like photographers, filmmakers, audiophiles and mobile gamers. The new phones are follow-ups to last year’s Xperia 1 II, which impressed us with its 4K display and stellar Pro Photo and Cinema Pro apps. The apps included features from Sony’s Alpha line of mirrorless cameras and Venice line of cinema cameras. In fact, to test out its features I wrote, shot and starred in a 4-minute film called I, Robber filmed on the Xperia 1 II. Both Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III have a triple rear camera system with wide, ultrawide and telephoto cameras.
