The Xperia 1 III is a phone with a unique camera system, it has the world’s first zoom lens with variable zoom levels. It’s really a bit of tech magic: tiny elements inside the lens move so you can switch between two zoom levels: 2.9X and 4.4X zoom. The Xperia also has the most advanced manual controls but is that enough to actually beat one of the best camera phones around, the Galaxy S21 Ultra?
