Xperia Pro - I - Sony's Pro Phone

Sony has gone big with its new Xperia Pro - I , the phone, equipped with a 1" sensor is currently one of the largest smartphone sensors around and thus it can practically compete against pretty much any smartphone or compact camera around. The phone, based of a familiar Xperia design philosophy, has a no notch - 6.5" 3840x1664 OLED display with HDR10 and 120 hz refresh rate, the front - protected by a sheet of Gorilla glass victus - also houses a 8MP front camera with Gyro-EIS.

The first and the most noticeable one is the centrally mounted 12MP 1-Inch sensor with variable aperture - f2-4 and OIS and a clever 315 AF point system with 90% coverage. This has Sony's reputed Eye-AF for Humans and Animals and its also capable of recording 4L at 120fps.The sensor is basically the same size as the RX100 series but due to limitations in smartphone design, only 60% of the sensor is actually "covered" when light gathering.

The rest of the cameras include a 12MP wide-angle lens 16mm 1/2.55" PDAF sensor and a 12MP 50mm eqvalent telephoto camera with 2x Optical zoom. The system also has a 0.3mp ToF sensor for depth information. All cameras include Zeiss optics and special lens coatings as well.
