Xperia Pro- This PRO is really a PRO

After a pretty long time, see who’s back, it’s none other than SONY. It’s not a TV guys, it is a smartphone and yes XPERIA is still there. One thing we can say for this is this is actually Pro.

Let’s see what makes it that PRO!

1.Design

Given the price point it is being offered, this is not at all the most stylish looking premium phone, but it houses some serious features that other premium smartphones do not. It has a beautiful 6.5” screen. It has 3 cameras vertically stacked at the back, while 1 camera at the front. Interestingly, this flagship has a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Two front facing stereo speakers. It houses a USB C 3.1 Gen1 port for charging. And there is a micro HDMI port here, in a smartphone.

2.Display

This PRO is really a PRO, starting with its display, which is 6.5” OLED display. This is a 4K HDR display with 21:9 aspect ratio. It has 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut. They have given a Corning’s Gorilla Glass 6 and not the latest Victus as seen on Samsung’s S21 series. This display can do wonders for the photographers as this can be attached to the camera and used a display or a viewfinder, well an OLED display is always better than a camera display.

3.Processor and Storage

There is not the latest processor in the market in this smartphone, but it has the Snapdragon 865. It comes with 512 GB storage and 12 GB of RAM for handling all those graphic intensive tasks.

4.Cameras

The camera setup is pretty straightforward, but comes with lot of capabilities. All the 3 rear cameras are of 12 MP, unlike all other flagship smartphones which offer different resolution cameras at the back. All these differ on aperture, the first one has a F1.7 Exmor RS sensor with 82^o field of view. The second one is a 1/3.4” camera sensor having F2.4 aperture with 70 mm focal length. The last one is a 1/2.55” Exmor RS sensor with just 16 mm focal length and 124^o field of view. On the front, there’s a single camera, with 8 MP, 1/4” sensor size and F2.0 aperture. But it supports HDR and 5 axis stabilization. The rear cameras have hybrid stabilization that is both the OIS and EIS and slow-motion videos up to 120 fps.

5.Battery

The SONY Xperia Pro packs in a 4000 mAh USB fast charging. Unfortunately. Even at this price point it does not support Wireless charging.

6.Some Special Features

This phone has a dedicated micro HDMI port, which is insane, because with 5G capability of the phone, you can even live stream your content using the camera or the camcorder. It can help you serve as an additional and much better display to your professional camera. You can see the results of the images being captured with the camera on a real OLED screen in real time, that is pretty insane. Also, there is a dedicated shortcut button which can be tagged to any app. But we think it’s definitely will be used for camera related tasks. The phone has 360^o antenna for better connection to 5G waves.

P.S. It also houses PS4 Remote Play.
