About Sony Xperia 1 III 5G

The Sony Xperia 1 III 5G feels compact yet striking in the hand, measuring just 71 mm wide, 165 mm tall and 8.2 mm thick while weighing 188 grams. Its front is dominated by a 6.5‑inch colour AM‑OLED panel that pushes a sharp 1644 by 3840 pixel resolution, delivering vivid colours and deep contrast for everything from streaming video to scrolling through apps.

Inside, the device runs Google Android 11 and is equipped with 12 GiB of RAM, providing ample headroom for multitasking and demanding applications. Power comes from a 4500 mAh battery that supports wired charging at up to 11 watts, and connectivity is handled through a single SIM slot, keeping the design streamlined for users who prefer a straightforward mobile experience.

This variant

This variant is a Japanese carrier‑specific model (A101SO) that adds Ultra Wideband (UW) and TD‑LTE support while otherwise sharing the same dimensions, display, OS, RAM, battery, charging and single‑SIM configuration as the base Sony Xperia 1 III 5G. It differs from the other UW TD‑LTE JP versions (SO‑51B, SOG03) solely in its model number/carrier designation.
