In front, it has a 8MP selfie camera.
The cameras are said to support real-time eye AF (autofocusing) for both humans and animals. This is something that Sony has taken from its successful Alpha mirrorless cameras.
The Xperia 1 III will be available here in two colours of black and purple. The purple model will ship first from 13 Aug, while the black version will ship later from 20 Aug.
