Editorial report
Sony Xperia Ace III 4 GB / 64 GB / Japan technical sheet
The Sony Xperia Ace III suits anyone looking for a compact, lightweight phone: at 162 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time. The trade-off is a 60 Hz display and a 13 MP rear camera, whose resolution is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time.
Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1496 px resolution and a 79% screen-to-body ratio. The compact dimensions suit buyers who prefer a smaller phone, but the refresh rate is lower than that of most contemporaries. This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, expandable with a card, alongside a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 processor. The rear camera records video at 1080p and 30 fps, while the front camera has 5 MP. The battery has a capacity of 4500 mAh, less than most phones of its time.
In return, the Xperia Ace III is protected against water and dust to IP68. It also supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and NFC, and retains a 3.5 mm audio jack. Android 12 and Google services are included. Its overall standing is typical among phones of its time, and its NeoScore is 4.4. This is a sensible fit for buyers who prioritize a manageable size, low weight and water-and-dust protection over a higher-resolution camera or a battery that stands out.
