Introduction
The Sony Xperia PRO-I is the most costly and most photographer-friendly smartphone that Sony have ever produced. It sits above the Xperia 1 III as the corporate’s flagship machine for 2021.
The “I” in PRO-I stands for “Imaging”, and it is clear from trying on the headline specs that the PRO-I is a cross between Sony’s Alpha mirrorless and RX-series Cybershot compact cameras and their high-end Xperia telephones.
The Sony PRO-I has a triple-camera Zeiss lens setup offering 16mm, 24mm and 50mm focal lengths, one among which (24mm) employs the identical 1-inch Sort Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor discovered within the DSC-RX100 VII compact.
That is a lot bigger than the sensors sometimes present in smartphones, with the PRO-1 becoming a member of the very quick record of smartphones which have dared to make use of a 1-inch sensor, together with the Sharp Aquos R6 (solely obtainable in Japan) and the way-ahead-of-its-time Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1, which was launched again in 2014.
Becoming a member of the 1-inch sensor is a variety of key applied sciences inherited from the Sony Alpha mirrorless vary, together with Actual-time Eye AF for people and animals plus Actual-time Monitoring.
Different key digicam specs embody 20fps burst taking pictures with steady auto-focus and auto-exposure, Optical Picture Stabilisation, 12-bit RAW recordsdata, as much as 4K HDR 120fps video recording, devoted shutter-release and film document buttons, and water and mud resistance.
The PRO-I gives three totally different built-in picture and video apps – Photograph Professional gives full handbook management over settings similar to publicity, focus and drive mode, with a brand new Fundamental mode included into it, plus there’s devoted Video Professional and Cinema Professional apps.
On the cellphone aspect of issues, the PRO-I is similar to the Xperia 1 III by way of its core specs, with each sharing the identical Android 11 OS, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, 12GB RAM, 5G and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, 4,500mAh battery and a 6.5-inch 4K HDR OLED show with a speedy 120Hz refresh charge and no notches.
The Sony Xperia PRO-I is accessible now in Frosted Black solely, priced at £1,599 / $1,799 within the UK and USA respectively. It’s made in Japan.
On paper, for each nonetheless and shifting picture makers there’s an terrible lot to be enthusiastic about within the Xperia PRO-I, so learn on to learn how we bought on utilizing it.
Ease of Use
|
Earlier than we get into the nitty gritty of the digicam and apps, let’s have a look across the smooth and slender Xperia PRO-I.
It has the identical ultra-wide 6.5″, 21:9 facet ratio 4K HDR OLED (3840×1644 pixel) display because the Xperia 1 III. With a 1,000,000:1 distinction ratio and 10-bit equal show, the colors are rendered superbly.
Asides from being the right format for watching films and gaming, there are a number of different advantages to ultra-wide screens.
With a maximised show dimension, the ‘multi-window’ operate that means that you can view and function two apps concurrently has sufficient room to breathe – it is a real choice.
The ultra-wide 21:9 facet ratio of the display additionally offers a cleaner show for picture making, being completely suited to video, however on this case additionally for pictures. That is as a result of within the Professional Photograph app, the digicam capabilities and menus are displayed within the empty area to the aspect of the highest quality 4:3 facet ratio reside view.
Total, the display is nice, though we did discover it a problem at occasions to see it clearly when out in direct daylight, even at its brightest setting.
|
The cellphone itself is narrower than different 6.5-inch telephones and due to this fact simpler to carry. Nevertheless, it is lengthy format is unwieldy for single-hand use and you may typically need each of your arms free for utilizing the digicam.
Design-wise, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on either side make the Xperia PRO-I a troublesome cellphone. You’ll nonetheless need to purchase a protecting case although, not least of which as a result of the graceful floor is slippery.
It additionally gives water resistance to an IPX5/IPX8 ranking and mud resistance to an IP6X ranking.
The battery has 4,500mAh capability and will be charged to 50% in round half-hour with the provided 30w charger. You may simply get a full day’s use on a single cost – a efficiency that matches as much as the competitors. There may be additionally compatibility with a wi-fi charger dock, though this unit is just not provided with the cellphone.
An additional look across the cellphone reveals the one shared SIM/micro-SDXC card slot, quantity management rocker change, and an on/off button.
Model new to the Xperia PRO-I is a button that can be utilized to leap straight into the Video Professional app, alongside which sits the newly redesigned shutter-release button – one press of this instantly opens the Photograph Professional app – making it extremely fast and simple to leap straight into the primary nonetheless and video modes.
|
Lo and behold, there’s additionally a 3.5mm headphone jack, too, whereas the considerably superfluous devoted Google Assistant button from the Xperia 1 III has fortunately disappeared.
For faster and simpler entry to the cellphone apps, we want to see an on-screen fingerprint scanner, as an alternative of the ability on/off scanner.
As commonplace, the inner reminiscence is a beneficiant 256GB and a micro SDXC card card be put in with help for playing cards as much as 1TB.
On the rear is the triple lens digicam, flash and a 3D iToF sensor used for autofocus and depth sensing. Fortunately, the lenses are positioned within the centre as you maintain the digicam in panorama format for taking images, which means your fingers are a lot much less prone to get in the best way.
The first rear lens has a 24mm focal size with 82° area of view and most f/2 aperture. You then have the 50mm digicam with 48° area of view and f/2.4 most aperture, plus the 16mm ultra-wide lens with 124° area of view and f/2.2 most aperture. It is also attainable to digitally zoom in with any of these lenses, as much as a most of 150mm utilizing the 50mm lens.
There’s a single front-facing ‘selfie’ digicam with 8MP decision, 78° area of view and f/2.0 most aperture.
|
Whereas out and about, we’ve got actually appreciated what every of the 16mm, 24mm and 50mm lenses carry. For panorama situations, that ultra-wide lens is especially helpful. We now have largely ignored the digital zoom due to the hostile impression on picture high quality.
Every of the three lenses gives a most 12MP picture dimension at 4:3 facet ratio, however in contrast to the Xperia I III, all of them utilise totally different sized-sensors
The star of the present is the 24mm module, which is paired with the identical 1.0-inch-type Exmor RS sensor that is present in Sony’s Cybershot RX-series of compact cameras.
Sony say that the Xperia PRO-I is “Primarily based on the RX100 VII’s sensor however developed and tuned solely for the Xperia PRO-I”. Because the RX100 VII outputs 20.1 megapixels and the PRO-I solely produces 12 megapixel photographs, it is clear that whereas the latter does use the identical sensor as the previous, it solely really makes use of the centre of it – Petapixel estimate that the efficient sensor dimension is definitely solely round 1/1.3-inch.
Nonetheless, it does permit Sony to supply a class-leading 2.4μm pixel pitch for the 12 megapixels which are obtainable, which is nearly double that of most rival units, together with the Xperia 1 III. Within the real-world this interprets into a lot better element in low-light conditions and fewer noise when taking pictures at increased ISO values, as you possibly can see in our Picture High quality part.
In the meantime, the 16mm module makes use of a smaller 1/2.5″ IMX363 Exmor RS for cellular sensor and the 50mm module makes use of the 1/2.9″ IMX486 Exmor RS for cellular sensor.
|
One other benefit provided by the 24mm lens solely is the flexibility to manually select between two-stop variable twin apertures of f/2.0 and f/4.0, opening up the potential of opting to blur the background or stopping-down for better front-to-back element. This can be a helpful characteristic that only a few smartphones provide.
It appears unusual to contemplate 12MP a low decision for a smartphone, however this very ethos has served the picture high quality in Apple iPhone and Google Pixel telephones very effectively.
For pictures and video there are 4 foremost methods to manage the digicam, by way of the devoted Video Professional, Cinema Professional and Photograph Professional apps, or by way of the brand new Fundamental mode, which is now included into the Photograph Professional app.
Be aware that the Fundamental mode is the one one that allows you to use an on-screen shutter button – the extra superior taking pictures modes require you to make use of the bodily shutter button on the aspect of the machine as an alternative.
Within the Fundamental mode, you possibly can change between the three focal lengths, modify brightness through a slider, and manually add a bokeh impact with the 24mm and 50mm lenses solely (bokeh is the phrase used to explain the aesthetic high quality of out-of-focus areas).
You can too choose the drive mode, flash mode and facet ratio, and change to the entrance dealing with digicam for taking selfies. For movies, you possibly can modify the brightness, flip HDR on/off, flip Face/Eye AF on/off, and switch the Torch on/off.
|
There are a number of extra picture modes hidden away within the Extra menu; Panorama (which works rather well), Sluggish Movement (for 120fps full HD movies), Portrait Selfie, and Artistic Impact (for making use of numerous filters together with Previous Movie, Mirror and Harris Shutter).
To change to the extra superior taking pictures modes, you choose Fundamental within the top-right nook, which reveals a horizontal menu with 5 different choices – Auto, P, S, M and MR.
Benefiting from that ultra-wide show, the format within the Professional apps is sensible. Sony Alpha customers will probably be accustomed to the menu format, with Auto and PSM publicity modes, EV compensation, AF-On and AEL buttons, drive mode, AF mode, focus space, ISO, metering, flash, white stability, Face/ Eye detection AF, file format, facet ratio and dynamic vary optimiser/HDR.
There’s even a Lock slider to stop the digicam settings from being inadvertently modified. A histogram, grid strains and degree gauge can all be displayed in actual time too.
Our solely criticism of the Photograph Professional UI is that the menu format nonetheless does not robotically rotate when utilizing the digicam in portrait mode, which makes utilizing the assorted onscreen icons much more troublesome than in panorama mode. Surprisingly, portrait orientation does work within the new Fundamental mode, however not in any of the opposite extra superior modes.
Mixed with the place of the shutter-release and video-release buttons, which for right-handed individuals is on the bottom-right of the machine, this makes taking pictures in portrait mode very awkward certainly.
|
Photographs are taken within the Photograph Professional app utilizing the shutter button on the aspect of the cellphone. In contrast to the usual digicam app, there isn’t any on-screen shutter button choice.
We discovered the newly redesigned aspect shutter button to be a lot better than the one on the Xperia 1 III. That includes the identical shutter change module because the Sony RX100 sequence, it is far more tactile and has a extra pronounced half-way step for buying focus earlier than occurring to completely press to take the shot.
Additional emphasising its photographic credentials, the Xperia PRO-I has a really distinctive waved-edge body which boosts your grip on the digicam, which will be additional improved by becoming a wrist or neck strap to the built-in strap-hole.
In the end, those that know a bit about pictures will actually benefit from the Photograph Professional App. And like within the newest Sony Alpha cameras, the continual AF within the Xperia PRO-I is great in a variety of situations. It gives 315 (21×15) phase-detection AF factors masking 90% of the body (versus 70% on the Xperia 1 III), with all 3 lenses supporting phase-detection AF.
That is helped by the brand new addition of real-time monitoring straight from the Alpha vary of mirrorless cameras. This characteristic can precisely detect and concentrate on a topic after which hold monitoring it even when it briefly strikes out of sight.
Sony’s industry-leading real-time face and eye detection AF is accessible right here for each individuals and animals and has unerring accuracy and reliability.
|
There may be the reassurance that steady AF is on the cash through these signature inexperienced squares that get displayed over your tracked topic – be it face or eye detection.
Then there are the drive modes supported by quick steady AF – as much as 20fps when taking pictures JPEGs full with steady AF and AE and an anti-distortion shutter that enables for sharper seize of fast-moving objects.
That headline-grabbing steady excessive drive mode is unfortunately solely obtainable when utilizing the 24mm lens solely, although, whereas the opposite lenses are supported with a nonetheless fairly quick 10fps steady low drive mode.
In low distinction mild, AF is great too. Regardless of the state of affairs, the Xperia PRO-I is lightning fast for focus and seize. It virtually appears absurd (in a great way) to have such action-photography-friendly options on a “mere” cellphone.
We additionally must touch upon the Video Professional and Cinema Professional apps for video. Video Professional is a brand new app that joins the prevailing Cinema Professional app from the Xperia 1 III.
It is a little bit complicated to haven’t one however two devoted apps for video, however mainly the Video Professional app is a lighter model of Cinema Professional, offering entry to a lot of the identical video options however not together with issues just like the LUTs which are solely present in Cinema Professional.
You get 4K (3840×1644) or 2K (2520×1080) seize at as much as 60fps and new 120fps slow-motion, plus eight color grade presets along with an ordinary look. The shutter is robotically adjusted in response to your FPS, whether or not it’s 24, 25, 30 or 60fps – that is actually useful.
|
All three focal lengths can be found for video mode, though not all FPS choices are. With a set aperture of f/2 to f/2.4 relying on the lens in use, direct daylight is simply too brilliant even utilizing the bottom ISO 100 setting and definitely when taking pictures at 24fps. We could not discover an ND filter impact choice to cut back mild transmission. So if you wish to shoot video in daylight, 60fps is your solely actual choice.
Video AF is nice albeit with a little bit ‘twitching’ because it makes these micro changes, whereas handbook focus is managed by deciding on the gap on a slider.
There’s a actually neat characteristic to pick two handbook focus presets (‘A’ and ‘B’) on the slider to make an instantaneous change between these two distances. We are able to see numerous use for this characteristic and are nonetheless pinching ourselves that that is on a cellphone! Handbook focus transitions are actually easy.
A basic bitter remark in regards to the Xperia PRO-I is that not all options can be found in all modes or for all three focal lengths and it will take a while to work out what’s certainly attainable.
All in all, the brand new Sony PRO-I is an much more succesful smartphone for picture and video recording than the Xperia I III, no imply feat since that was already class-leading by way of its options and interface.
Picture High quality
The entire pattern photographs on this evaluate had been taken utilizing the 12 megapixel JPEG setting, which produces a mean picture dimension of round 5Mb.
Noise
Handbook publicity management is feasible within the Photograph Professional mode (the aperture will be set to both f/2 or f/4 when utilizing the 24mm lens solely), with an ISO 100-12800 vary, plus auto ISO. The ISO setting will be shifted in 1/3EV steps, and we’ve got included an identical pictures taken on the base ISO after which each full ISO cease between ISO 100 and 12800.
With a most aperture between f/2 and f/2.4 relying on the lens in use, plus 5-axis picture stabilisation, chances are high the Xperia PRO-I will probably be set to ISO 100 or ISO 100 through auto ISO nearly all of the time.
Actually, you will need to do your greatest to make use of ISO 100 as a result of the hostile results of noise is progressive with every ISO setting improve. Viewing photographs at 100% dimension on display, element stays sharp as much as ISO 1600, then mushier from ISO 3200 and better, with the quickest setting of ISO 12800 greatest prevented altogether.
In low distinction mild similar to shadows, JPEG element will probably be much less effectively outlined than within the brighter areas, regardless of the ISO setting. Noise can also be influenced so much by the lens in use – you will get the highest quality footage attainable by utilizing the first 24mm lens as a result of it is the one one that’s paired with the 1-inch sensor, whereas the 16mm and 50mm lenses use a lot smaller 1/2.5″ and 1/2.9″ sensors respectively.
All being mentioned, if you happen to’re viewing the JPEG photographs on a smartphone or pill, they may seem very sharp as much as ISO 1600.
The corresponding DNG format RAW photographs are noticeably noisier and never as sharp as their JPEG equivalents, with extra color artifacts on the quicker ISO speeds, however they do clear up a lot better than the JPEGs in post-processing.

Conclusion
The Sony Xperia PRO-I is probably the most succesful smartphone for pictures that we have ever examined, however it’s additionally by far the most costly – solely you possibly can determine if it suits inside your personal private workflow.
Whereas the PRO-I could effectively have a 1-inch sensor inside it, the truth that it solely makes use of roughly 60% of that sensor’s space is undoubtedly going to disappoint anybody who’s swallowed Sony’s advertising and marketing blurb entire.
What you do get from the 1-inch sensor is a a lot bigger pixel dimension than common smartphones, which in flip ends in a lot better low-light efficiency. In comparison with Sony’s personal Xperia 1 III, for instance, which begins to lose element at ISO 400, we might be joyful to make use of the PRO-I all the best way as much as ISO 1600, particularly when taking pictures RAW recordsdata.
The opposite necessary factor to notice when evaluating the Xperia PRO-1 is that the majority of its most options – 20fps burst taking pictures, twin aperture management, real-time eye AF, anti-distortion shutter, 12-bit RAW recordsdata, 4K HDR 120fps video and others – are solely supported by the 24mm commonplace lens and its 1-inch sensor.
Consequently, it is a a lot better thought to see the PRO-I as a smartphone with an immensely succesful 24mm prime lens, that additionally occurs to have much less well-appointed however nonetheless helpful 16mm and 50mm lenses onboard too – simply do not anticipate to get equal efficiency and have help from all three.
We beloved the dealing with of the Xperia 1 III, and the brand new PRO-I takes issues even additional with the addition of a video document button and a a lot better shutter-release button. The truth that you possibly can long-press each to immediately leap into the Video Professional and Photograph Professional apps, even when the machine is switched off, is de facto interesting.
The very fact nonetheless stays that whether or not you’re a Sony Alpha digicam consumer or just a photograph fanatic, the format and dealing with of the three totally different Professional apps is arguably the most effective round in any smartphone, clearly designed for individuals who need far more inventive management.
In the event you’ve ever been annoyed or restricted by your cellphone’s digicam app, make sure that to check out the Xperia interface to see what it ought to actually be like. We solely want that all the taking pictures modes supported portrait orientation, and never considerably inexplicably simply the Fundamental mode.
On the flip aspect, this definitely is not a smartphone for extra informal customers. Whereas the Fundamental mode does its greatest to cut back the complexity to easy point-and-shoot, the truth that there isn’t any devoted algorithms for issues that almost all different flagship telephones provide, similar to a ‘Night time Mode’, will finally simply show bewildering for a lot of.
Which leads us properly onto the price-tag. At £1,599 / $1,799 within the UK and USA respectively, the Xperia PRO-I is by far the most costly smartphone that we have ever examined.
Together with its no-holds-barred concentrate on skilled photographers and videographers, this additionally makes it probably the most area of interest smartphone that we have ever examined – even numerous these goal customers are going to be postpone by the asking value, which in any case is sufficient to purchase an honest mirrorless digicam with a lens.
However if you happen to match the consumer profile and have deep sufficient pockets, the Sony Xperia PRO-I is the final word smartphone for photographers and videographers alike – there’s merely nothing else prefer it available on the market.
