The Sony Xperia 5 III body is somewhat thinner and much lighter than the Asus ZenFone 7, although both were released only 8 months apart.
Asus ZenFone 7 has a little bit better display than Sony Xperia 5 III, because although it has a little worse display pixel density and a bit worse resolution of 1080 x 2400, it also counts with a quite bigger screen. The Xperia 5 III has a CPU that is very similar to the CPU in Asus ZenFone 7, and although the Xperia 5 III has 2 GB more RAM memory, they both have 8 CPU cores.
Xperia 5 III counts with a little bit better memory capacity to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than Asus ZenFone 7, because although it has a SD memory slot that holds 976 GB smaller, it also counts with 256 GB internal memory capacity. The Asus ZenFone 7 has a much better camera than Xperia 5 III, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not so good for low-light photography and videos, and they both have a 0.59 inches sensor, the Asus ZenFone 7 also counts with a way better video definition and a lot higher resolution back-facing camera.
