Sony’s Xperia Pro-1 prioritizes camera above all else

Sony’s Xperia Pro-1 is a combination of a high quality camera and a smartphone

 

Sony’s smartphones have never quite generated any kind of fiery excitement. It’s merely another storied tech companies still trying to sell phones despite the dominance of the big two: Apple and Samsung.

Sony seemed to turn a new leaf with its Xperia 1 series — phones that harvested Sony’s camera knowledge, both when it came to software and sensors.

The big feature of the Xperia Pro-I is a 1-inch sensor last seen in the RX100 VII point-and-shoot camera. It’s a much larger sensor than you'll find on most phones (The lens covers a portion of the sensor though, according to Sony). For the sake of comparison, the primary sensor on the newly released Google Pixel 6 Pro is a pixel pitch of 1.2µm. The Xperia Pro-I has 2.4µm-sized pixels, which can capture RAW stills, 4K 120 fps video, and (like the last few Xperia 1 models) shoot images at 20 fps.

And most notably, there is a 24mm lens made from glass that can switch between f/2.0 and f/4.0 apertures — another uniquely rare feature, the first phone to have aperture switching.

The phone will also arrive with all kinds of dongles and add-ons, including support for Sony’s “dead-cat” muffler to cut wind noise, a shooting grip and its very own add-on display, for vlogging and recording footage with the primary camera sensor.

As tradition dictates, Sony is has slapped a huge price tag, yet again. In the United States, the Xperia Pro-I will cost no less than $1,800. The rationale is that that you’re getting a flagship phone and a good camera (RX100 VII point-and-shoot) in a single device.
