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 rest of the design features a utilitarian inspired side engraving and it also incorporates a 3.5mm headphone jack, a customizable button for any function and a shutter release button harking back to the days of old.The chassis also has a lanyard strap on the bottom size and it also has IP68 ingress protection.

The rear of the phone features the best bits of the phone - the cameras. 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. The phone also has professional controls for both photo and video and it also has support for 12bit RAW.

Internal hardware goes as follows - Snapdragon 888 5G Soc,12GB RAM, 512GB storage and a MicroSD cardslot, USB C with DisplayPort support, Support for external monitors and as a field monitor for Alpha series of mirrorless cameras, 4500 mAh battery and 30W fast charging.

The phone runs on Android 11 for now.Pricing for this behemoth is said to be also eye-watering at EUR1800 and Sony is also bundling accessories including a Vlogging kit with a Sony remote control grip for $139.99 and an external mini monitor for $199.99.
