Barely three small marks on the edges, indicating that the device has been properly protected by a good quality casing. They are almost invisible. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

It got off to a lacklustre start, with agonizingly languid start up, and mostly vacant firmware. There is also a tiny glass adhesion imperfection upper on the main screen which I had to fix. I am now otherwise pretty happy with my Xperia 1 III Violet, It started to do just about everything I want with none of the foibles and overheating probs of my original 4G Xperia 1. I will always miss some things that did though, otherwise Sony has come up with a classy product here.

Functioning impeccable, but a small downside for a phone in very good condition there is a pronounced impact on the side, but does not interfere in any way with use, it's just a comment 😕
