What to expect at Sony’s April 14 Xperia event
- Sony Xperia 1 III 5G
- Sony Xperia 10 III
As mentioned above, Sony will be announcing its latest Xperia models. The center of attention looks set to be the flagship Xperia 1 III 5G, which has been teased in a trailer video and should be one of the best Android phones in 2021.
Like past Xperia flagships, the Xperia 1 III 5G won’t be adopting a notch or punch-hole. Instead, Sony has reportedly chosen uniform top and bottom bezels, in addition to a 120Hz 6.5-inch 4K 21:9 display.
In addition to the premium Xperia model, Sony is likely to announce its latest mid-range model. The device should be called the Xperia 10 III and look a lot like its predecessor — think triple-camera setup and 6-inch flat 21:9 display with no punch hole or notch.
When will the Sony Xperia 1 III 5G be released?
Sony has a habit of announcing its flagships in February and releasing them in late May or June. This year, the introduction is happening a bit later than usual but the release date is unlikely to be any sooner.
- Late May or June release date for Sony Xperia 1 III 5G
- Early May release date for Sony Xperia 10 III
