Sony Xperia Pro Full Specifications

Some Information about this phone

This is a brand new smartphone from sony. It’s called the Sony Xperia pro. It’s basically an Xperia 1 mark ii, again which was a great phone. But it’s a year old now so it’s the same snapdragon 865, same internal specs, same 4k display, and same triple camera system on the back. You can kind of start to see it’s modified in a few key ways, and it costs two thousand five hundred dollars.

We know that the pro phones are the highest-end ones the best of the best. what’s so special about this one? This is the only phone that deserves the word pro. We have iPhone 12 Pro, Huawei Mate 40 Pro, Oneplus 8 Pro. But those phones are just using the word pro to sell you. You know upscale everyday phones this phone is an actual professional tool.

Some good things about Sony Xperia pro

This phone starts with the design right at the bottom of this phone. You’ll find a literal HDMI port, so that’s a micro HDMI plug behind this flap alongside the USB type-c. You don’t see that very often so keep this in mind and then instead of straight glass and metal. This phone is coated in this black polycarbonate jacket all the way around. Actually, it’s pretty nice.

There’s no camera bump, so the phone sits perfectly flat and honestly, you probably don’t even really need a case for this phone. It’s kind of ruggedized that way you do lose wireless charging for some reason. But You’ll see pretty soon that’s not a huge concern.

This phone has an array of 5g antennas. You have four beamforming antennas all the way around this phone. No doubt take advantage of the plastic jacket instead of metal. Or glass that’s way better for the reception and all of that is packing to a body just a little bit bigger than the previous.

The phone design to act as a primary viewfinder for a Sony mirrorless camera. Or really any camera with HDMI for that matter. They’ve built custom software and hardware into the phone to make it happen. So when you put it all together it looks something like this not super elegant but not too bad. Just very technically impressive.

The phone connects to the camera via that HDMI port. There’s a custom app with an extra custom button on the side of the phone to trigger it. And immediately you get the 4k HDMI feed on the phone. A couple of things about this, number one that’s pretty sweet. A lot of creators out there have a mirrorless camera already and a smartphone so combining these two to have a nicer display makes a lot of sense. Then number two, the special 5g workflow pieces built-in will let you do crazy things.

About Display and Battery

It’ll let you live stream with this 4k full frame quality to sites like twitch and youtube. And with services like streamyard streamlabs which is sick, it’s the awesome freeing feeling of not being tied to your computer anymore. you can even add USB-c from the phone to the camera too. This phone’s 4 000 milliamp-hour battery will act as a power bank For the camera. If you’re liveblogging like taking a bunch of high-resolution photos those photos go straight to the phone.

And then can be sent straight to the truck or straight online from the 5g of the phone itself. The weight distribution’s a little bit off, but it’s not horrible. There’s a lot of screws and mounts involved in moving things around to put them on the side. It took a few minutes to set up and get just right. But we got it done but then once it’s set up the HDMI output renders the touchscreen on the camera itself useless.

There are no touch controls transferred via HDMI. You do get menu control through the buttons still and you can see all that stuff. There’s no touch to select and you lose touch to focus on photos and videos.

The one thing you do get is the ability to zoom in on the actual literal HDMI feed and use it as a focus assist. But that’s nowhere near as powerful as focus peaking. It’s a 21×9 display still and unless they’re shooting 21×9 video. It’s just going to feel like there’s a lot of wasted space that you can’t use for other things. This phone simultaneously became the most comprehensive professional durable pro tool I’ve ever seen as a phone.
