Sony makes some of the more unique smartphones on the market, and now we’re seeing the best price yet on one of them. Amazon is now offering the unlocked Sony Xperia 5 III 5G 128GB for lower than ever before, dropping the handset to $598 shipped. Typically fetching $998, today’s offer lands at $400 off while beating our previous mention by an extra $100. It’s only the second offer of the year and now lands at a new all-time low. As one of the more recent additions to Sony’s stable of photography-focused smartphones, its Xperia 5 III comes centered around a Snapdragon 888 chip that powers the 6.1-inch 21:9 120Hz display. Its photography features are really what let this one stand out from the competition, and we explore that below the fold.

The real enticing features for the Xperia 5 III arrive for those who plan on using this as a camera first and foremost, with a unique feature set on that photography front. There is a triple sensor camera array around back that sports ZEISS optics, dual PDAF sensors for fast autofocus, and AS super resolution zoom to help capture far away subjects. Not to mention, 120FPS recording and plenty of customizable settings to complement the dedicated shutter button. All of the details are also available in our announcement coverage, too.

With that all-time low attached, using some of the added savings to bring home the Spigen Rugged Armor Case seems like a good call to protect all of that photography process. The cover sells for just $14 at Amazon and helps keep your new handset protected with a flexible TPU design.

Of course, the spotlight this week is still resting on the new debuts from Samsung. And we wouldn’t be 9to5Toys if we didn’t have some enticing offers to share. Just announced in the middle of last week, you can now save as much as $400 on unlocked Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 devices. Combining cash discounts on elevated storage capacities with bundled gift cards, these pre-order sales offer a chance to land one of the all-new foldables for less. And best of all? There’s no trade-ins required.
