Xperia 5 III is coming a month after the Xperia 1 III

Despite almost being on the same boat as LG and HTC, Sony has always remained unfazed about the performance of its mobile business. In fact, it seems to be taking its sweet time while its competitors are rushing to put out model after model of smartphones this year to make up for last year's pandemic-induced slough. It just recently announced the start of pre-orders for the Xperia 1 III in the US, but its availability won't happen until a month later. Likewise, the Xperia 5 III won't even be available until September, nearly half a year after it was first announced.
