Sony has recently announced its newest flagship smartphone, the Sony Xperia PRO-I. It is the first smartphone to boast a 1.0-type image sensor – the same one that can be found in the Sony RX100 VII – bringing a professional camera feel to a smartphone to the delight of all content creators and photography enthusiasts out there.
Here’s what you can expect:
High Resolution and Less Noise
Thanks to the Sony Xperia PRO-I’s genuine 1.0-type sensor, you will be able to capture photos and videos with outstanding quality. Supported by Sony’s original image signal processor, its camera offers high-speed performance and advanced image signal processors for high image resolution and minimal noise even in low light. The results are sure to satisfy any photography and videography needs you might have.
Three Lens Options
No matter what your shooting style may be, the Sony Xperia PRO-I has got you covered. The phone offers three lens options – 16mm Ultra-Wide, 24mm Wide, and 50mm Standard – that work hand-in-hand with the phone’s optical image stabilisation to prevent blurred images, even in darker conditions.
Photography Pro Controls
The Sony Xperia PRO-I was created with professional photographers in mind, so it also offers controls that can typically be found in professional cameras. The interface is inspired by these cameras, which you can use in manual mode, automatic mode, or RAW mode. For beginners, there is also a Basic mode for quicker access to easy-to-use features.
To complete the professional camera experience, the Sony Xperia PRO-I comes with a dedicated shutter button that makes the phone feel like part of the Sony RX100 series. It also has the same shutter switch module and button strokes to use the AF and shutter release.
Convenient Connections
The Sony Xperia Pro-I offers various accessories to make your experience even better, such as a strap hole so you can use a neck strap or wrist strap with it to keep it safe and secure at all times and compatibility with the Imaging Edge Mobile app so you can connect it to your Sony camera if needed. However, you can also opt to shoot, edit, and send everything straight from the phone itself.
Durability
To ensure your smartphone stays safe, the Sony Xperia Pro-I uses tough Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for drop- and scratch-resistance. It is also dust-resistant and water-resistant, so you can shoot practically anywhere without worrying about damaging your phone.
Long-Lasting, Fast-Charging Battery
Worried that its features will drain the battery too quickly? Fret not. Its 4500mAh battery will keep it going throughout the need. And if in case you do run out of juice, you can simply charge it up and get up to 50 per cent battery life in just half an hour for minimal downtime. Sony’s charging technologies also ensure that the battery stays healthy for longer. The battery care will prevent it from overcharging and overworking so you can expect a healthy battery even after three years of usage.
If you want to upgrade your smartphone to one that you can also use as a professional camera, the Sony Xperia PRO-I is the perfect smartphone for you.
