This also tees the phone up for filmmakers. This is already a great start, and with HDR and BT.2020 color space support, it aligns the phone’s screen with top-tier Sony phones of old, including the original Pro. The Xperia Pro-I’s display is a 10-bit OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. Ultimately, the Xperia Pro-I’s design comes together well, and while it isn’t as visually elegant as a Google Pixel 6 Pro, or as striking to look at as an iPhone, it feels excellent, and looks classic. Despite being two-stage when pressed – half-press to focus, press all the way to capture – it doesn’t have a satisfying half-press resistance which we would have preferred. Surprisingly, it’s also very spongy, which is a strange move. This makes it easy for a fumbling finger to identify. It’s also textured with a fine criss-cross ridged pattern. First, it’s large, in contrast to the tiny nub that subtly pokes out of the Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III. The camera key on the Xperia Pro-I is unlike anything we’ve seen on a phone. This makes extra surface for your fingers to grip onto available, and we enjoy both the visual and tactile detail this adds.Īs far as buttons go, there are plenty of them, with a volume rocker, fingerprint scanner/power button combo, shortcut key, and camera key all on the right side. Sony also made the Xperia Pro-I easier to grip than most metal-framed phones, with the Pro-I’s frame sporting a groove that bands all around it. Adding to the hardy factor of the Xperia Pro-I is that, unlike the Pro, it’s water-resistant with IP68 certification. The frame of the phone is blasted metal, with a hefty chamfer around the front and back sandwiched between two panes of glass: Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and Gorilla Glass 6 around the back. There’s no notch in sight, and the stretched 21:9 display makes for a slender impression. It has that tall physique we’ve grown used to since the original Xperia 1 launched three years ago. The Sony Xperia Pro-I is a Sony phone through and through.

XPRO 1 REVIEWS MANUAL
Do you pick the very best in Sony-style traditional photo processing and dedicated manual photo and video apps, or alternatively, a modern point-shoot-and-share camera? Sony Xperia Pro-I release date and price That said, whether or not you should buy this expensive camera phone will, for the most part, depend on your taste in image processing. With flagship power, 512GB storage, SD card support and nippy 5G data speeds, there’s very little missing from the Xperia Pro-I – wireless charging is the main feature that springs to mind. As for Sony’s UI, it’s reliably clean and just a couple of degrees off stock Android. Its screen is also punchy and sharp, albeit a little dull in direct sunlight. Its design is very Sony, and also flagship with premium glass and metal matched with welcome photography-focused accents like that shutter release and textured frame.
With that all accounted for, the Sony Xperia Pro-I is a good phone across the board. So who in their right mind would pay a premium price for a smartphone with hardware that wasn’t treading new turf? Three groups of people: Sony fans, photography purists, and videographers who aren’t in a monogamous relationship with Apple.
