Finding your opponent before they find you is key to victory. So the Xperia 1 III lets you adjust display settings like brightness balance to reveal enemies and objects that might otherwise be hidden in dark scenes. It also lets you preset colour and brightness for specific game stages or to help read maps more easily in challenging environments.

Customisable audio helps you outsmart your opponents

In gaming, what you hear can be just as important as what you see. With Xperia you can use the audio equalizer to minimise unnecessary sounds and focus on the ones that matter – from an opponent’s approaching footsteps to the sound of a pin being pulled out of a grenade. An enhance voice chat function lets you communicate more clearly with your teammates.
