The comparatively compact 6.1-inch Sony Xperia 5 III has now dropped to US$699 at multiple retailers in the US, which is a quite significant 30% discount in relation to the Android smartphone's lofty list price, which is just shy of the US$1,000 mark.

Sony Xperia smartphones may not have captured a particularly large market share compared to competing devices produced by other tech behemoths such as Apple and Samsung. Nonetheless, the iconic Japanese company still has a pretty faithful fanbase that appreciates the rather unique design of smartphones like the Sony Xperia 5 III, which has now received another discount and therefore dropped to its lowest sale price yet.

To be more precise, several online retailers in the United States currently offer the aforementioned Sony Xperia 5 III with the quick Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset as well as 128GB of internal storage for just US$699 instead of the official MSRP of US$999. This sale is valid for both the classic black as well as the gorgeous green color variant of the Android smartphone. According to the price tracker at Camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest sale price ever for the Sony Xperia 5 III on Amazon, and the smartphone has previously been sold for an average price of slightly over US$900. Consequently, this deal offers roughly 30% in savings.

We've already put the Sony Xperia 5 III trough its paces, and in our corresponding written review, we for example praised the compact and light design and premium haptics. The Android smartphone also convinced us with its good stereo speakers as well as adequate performance, but we didn't particularly enjoy the fairly large bezels as well as the relatively slow SD card slot. However, since most other premium smartphones do not offer an SD card slot for easy and cheap storage expansion at all, the Sony Xperia 5 III might still be an interesting choice for prospective buyers who'd like to give one of the smaller smartphone manufacturers in the world a chance.
