After expanding its smartphone lineup with the launch of Xperia 1 III and the Xperia 5 III earlier this year, Sony is back with yet another Xperia device. However, the company’s latest Xperia device, dubbed the Xperia PRO-I, is the successor of the Xperia Pro device that was unveiled last year. It is the world’s first smartphone to use a 1.0-type Exmor RS image sensor with phase-detection AF. So, let’s take a quick look at the key specs and features of this latest Sony flagship smartphone.
Starting with the design, the Sony Xperia PRO-I looks similar to its predecessors. However, the rear camera module sets it apart from the other Xperia devices of the past.
Other than this, there is also a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a 124-degree FOV and a 12MP telephoto lens. There is also a 3D iToF (Time of Flight) sensor to calculate the distance between the camera and the subject to enable faster and more accurate auto-focus capabilities. You can check out the official promo video of the Sony Xperia PRO-I to know more about its camera capabilities.
Now, coming to the price, with the high-end camera system and the world’s first 1.0-type Exmor RS lens, the Sony Xperia PRO-I comes with a hefty price tag of $1,800 (~Rs. 1,35,252). Sony will start taking pre-orders for the device from October 28, which is the day after tomorrow. However, the device will be available to buy from December of this year.
