The Sony Xperia 1 III it was made official, but it has not yet been made available to interested consumers. Betting, once again, big on cameras, what the manufacturer has been doing is promoting its photographic potential on social media. However, are the brand's own tests really that reliable to indicate the quality of the smartphone's captures?

For those who suspect this, the insider ZackBuks — with a good history of leaks — revealed some photos taken in low light with the Xperia 1 III. They were taken in a closed environment, with lots of neon light. Since the Japanese phone has optical zoom, it was possible to test the potential of the telephoto lens as well.

There were three recordings: in the first, the image is courtesy of the smartphone's main lens, which has 12 megapixels and f/1.7 aperture. It did a good job of revealing details of the brightest objects, giving up a little on highlighting people, tables and chairs in parts of the scene that were less lit.

With the 12 MP telephoto lens and f/2.3 aperture — at a focal length of 70 mm — the Xperia 1 III impresses a little more by really bringing the scene closer without losing sharpness or exposure. This could happen due to the difference in luminous aperture between the main lens and the zoom.

Zoom appears to offer consistency over the main sensor

Finally, when the telephoto sensor reaches a distance of 105 mm, the perception is that the smartphone's optical zoom really does not disappoint in night images, serving almost as a main lens that can offer close-up. This is not always the case with smartphones, with zoom cameras clashing with the perception of color, tones, brightness or contrast inferior to the main one. A more common example in this sense is the exchange of the regular lens for the ultra-wide.

While the photos provided by the insider are a good sign, nothing compares to extensive testing in a variety of scenarios to prove the phone is a versatile and quality device for photography. Sony plans to launch the Xperia 1 III sometime in June in select markets. The Japanese company is no longer selling its phones. and not even Smart TVs in Brazil, after strategic decisions that finally led her to recover the profit that for years the division had not worked.
