NO ONE EXPECTED THIS – Sony Xperia Pro-I

And now we can see a smartphone with the best camera on the mobile market, top-end hardware and an almost perfect display for a content maker – meet Sony Xperia Pro-i!

I went through a lot of information to introduce you to the most desirable device for a blogger and photographer.

Appearance

The case is made in the best traditions of Sony! Discreet black color, premium materials and strict sharp lines. A design feature is a separate shutter button. That further turns this model into a full-fledged camera.

The camera module also indicates that you are holding a device with a large matrix. In general, everything in the case design hints at the status of a camera phone.

The manufacturer paid special attention to the safety of the device. I was pleased with the presence of moisture protection of the case according to the IP68 standard and the most durable glass Gorilla Glass Victus today. Do you think moisture protection is still relevant for smartphones? Or is the minimum case thickness more important? Share your opinion in the comments, I’m very interested in what will win: practicality or style.

Performance

As befits a flagship, Sony Xperia Pro-I received a top-end computing center – an 8-core processorSnapdragon 888 . It is characterized by a cost-effective and high-performance 5nm process technology, advanced device camera capabilities, and a focus on artificial intelligence.

The Adreno 660 video accelerator guarantees vivid emotions from the freshest and most demanding games. This processor has some tendency to heat up, so the smartphone should not be considered as an exclusively gaming model.

To store high-quality content, you will need a lot of space. This smartphone has a 512 GB UFS 3.1 drive, and there is also a memory expansion slot with micro SD cards up to 1 TB. And for maximum speed and smoothness of the interface, Sony Xperia Pro-I is equipped with 12 GB of RAM.

Sony Xperia Pro-I is based on Android 11 with the prospect of upgrading to version 12.

Screen

The 6.5-inch OLED display received an impressive 4K resolution! The buyer will definitely be satisfied with the pixel density and image detail. Dynamic scenes will be displayed as smoothly as possible due to the frame rate of 120 Hz.

The Creator mode in the display settings makes the display of content similar to professional monitors, so it will certainly be comfortable to work with the device.

Battery

Top-end hardware and an excellent display require a lot of energy to work correctly. Therefore the flagship has a powerful 4500 mAh battery with support for USB Power Delivery technology with a power of 30 watts.

Stamina’s proprietary power-saving mode will help maximize battery life, and Sony’s adaptive charging technology is designed to extend battery life.

The glass case allows you to take care of the convenience of charging – use induction for wireless energy recovery. And Qi-enabled accessories can be charged directly from your smartphone due to the presence of reverse charging.

Cameras

Undoubtedly, the main feature and advantageSony Xperia Pro-I became a 1-inch Exmor RS type 1.0 CMOS matrix. This sensor size is revolutionary in the mobile photography industry. The matrix allows you to create professional-quality shots, “almost” like on mirrorless and SLR cameras. This lens delivers true-to-life textures and colors even in low-light conditions thanks to its 2.4µm pixel.

The Zeiss lens with glass optics is designed to minimize peripheral distortion and deliver unrivaled contrast and clarity to every shot.

In addition to the progressive 12MP main module, the smartphone received a 12MP wide-angle lens, a depth-of-field camera, and even a 12MP telephoto lens.

The 8 MP selfie camera from Samsung will delight fans of vlogs and bloggers with its detail, and, of course, it will be indispensable in video calls.

Modern frame processing algorithms and a powerful graphics processor will easily turn the Sony Xperia Pro-I into a real professional camera. And pre-installed content editors allow you to quickly fix the frame and share it on the network.

Video capabilities in the smartphone are also implemented at the highest level – a lot of shooting settings, advanced video algorithms, effective focusing on objects, optical stabilization and a built-in editor will help you create the most stylish and creative videos. In addition, you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sound that the standard microphone records.

Communication modules

Wireless interfaces are represented by a standard set of modules for flagship models: NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6, GPS.

Wireless Internet can be connected in 3G, 4G, 5G networks. The smartphone has a hybrid slot that allows you to choose between using two SIM cards or one phone number and a memory expansion card.

Sound

The manufacturer decided to keep the audio jack. The buyer will always have a choice between an analog and wireless headset. Stereo speakers are also available, as are all modern developments in the field of audio reproduction, such as Dolby Atmos, Qualcomm aptX HD technology and 360 Reality Audio. Music lovers will definitely appreciate the depth and volume of sound. Especially since the smartphone works with most modern audio formats.

Prices

The cost of the device shows that it is designed for true connoisseurs – the estimated price of the Sony Xperia Pro-I will be about $ 1,800.

Conclusion

The device, of course, turned out to be bright and original. There are not so many like it on the electronics market. Of course, the price of Sony Xperia Pro-I will not be affordable to everyone, but those who decide to buy will surely be satisfied.
