Superior phone / Camera
It's early days yet but the phone is really quite excellent. The sound quality and camera are superb. The screen resolution is fantastic and the overall usability is seamless. The phone feels like a quality product in your hand.
The Camera
I got this Camera/Phone after careful thought as I already had the Sony Xperia 1III, what attracted me was the camera set up and the specs were exactly the same as the Mark. I absolutely want to watch and listen to my media in absolute quality, which this device provides, yes I've tried the camera out and like the MarkIII it's not a point and shoot camera (although you can choose basic mode for this) so a fair bit of thought process has to go into photographing subjects, for novices like mys...

The Xperia PRO-I redefines the camera as the worldf s first smartphone with 1-inch Exmor RS® image sensor and phase-detection AF, 4K video recording at 120fps high frame rate (a worldf s first), and unique modular vlogging capabilities all packed into a smartphone. So you can be creative, wherever, whenever. Itf s THE Camera.Featuring Sony's dedicated camera technologies
Combining a 1-inch Exmor RS backside-illuminated stacked CMOS image sensor, sophisticated glass lens and Sony's advanced image signal processors, the Xperia PRO-I achieves professional imaging quality to satisfy even the most demanding photographer.
World's first smartphone with 1-inch image sensor and phase detection AF
Based on the RX100 VII's Exmor RS backside-illuminated stacked CMOS image sensor but developed and tuned exclusively for the Xperia PRO-I, the large 1-inch sensor offers high levels of image resolution and less noise. The result is superb imaging quality with realistic textures and remarkable detail.
Highly sensitive 2.4microm pixel pitch
The large surface area of the 1-inch image sensor and it's impressive 2.4microm pixel pitch offers high sensitivity and contributes to outstanding texture reproduction, even when shooting in low light.
Clear details in high dynamic range conditions
In high dynamic range situations, the 1-inch image sensor enables the Xperia PRO-I to bring out the detail, both in the dark areas and the bright parts of the image.
Artistic natural bokeh effects
A benefit of larger sensors is its ability to capture shallower depth of field vs. smaller sensors commonly found on smartphones. The Xperia PRO-I, with its large 1-inch sensor, is able to capture beautiful shots with naturally deep bokeh.
Less noise in low light
Thanks to the high-sensitivity 1-inch image sensor, the Xperia PRO-I can achieve photos with less noise in low-light conditions. The higher sensitivity also allows for faster shutter speeds in low light conditions resulting in sharper images.
Reducing reflection for superior results
The optical elements of ZEISS lenses feature T anti-reflective coating on all surfaces and an optical design that guarantees images of superior brilliance at all times, even in unfavorable lighting conditions.
Dual Apeture Gives You More Variety.
The dual aperture of F2.0 and F4.0 lets you experiment with depth of field and portray your subject in a variety of ways. Dual apertures also allow for selective exposure control which is beneficial for allowing more or less light into your image.ZEISS Tessar optics featuring a glass aspherical lens
The ZEISS Tessar optics adapted for the Xperia PRO-I delivers high-resolution images with less peripheral image distortion and more intense contrast and sharpness across the entire image area.
AF that covers more of the frame
On the Xperia PRO-I, 315 (21x15) phase-detection AF (autofocus) points cover 90% of the frame. So AF is able to lock on to your subject incredibly fast and works pretty much wherever your subject is.
High-speed performance and impeccable imaging quality
Sony's fast readout speed 1-inch Exmor RS image sensor, latest BIONZ X for Mobile image processor with front-end LSI and Sony's original image-processing algorithms, ensure accurate imaging, even with quick-moving subjects.
Triple camera and 3D iToF sensor for total creative freedom
The Xperia PRO-I's 24mm lens with 1-inch image sensor is complemented by two additional camera options, a 16mm and a 50mm, enabling you to get creative with composition. A 3D iToF sensor instantly calculates the distance between the camera and your subject, ensuring fast, accurate autofocus in any scene. All 3 cameras support phase-detection AF.
Real-time Eye AF - for humans and animals
Real-time Eye AF lets you take stunning portraits, whether you're photographing people or animals. You'll capture memorable images full of energy and expression, even if your subject is on the move or one eye is obscured.
Real-time Tracking keeps fast-moving subjects in focus
Using AI (artificial intelligence) and a 3D iToF sensor to measure distance, Real-time Tracking3 can accurately detect and focus on a fast-moving subject, then keep on tracking it even if it temporarily moves out of sight. To specify your subject, simply touch it on the Xperia PRO-I display.
20fps burst shooting with less noise
The fast image sensor offers continuous burst shooting at up to 20fps, and the camera tracks subjects with AF/AE (autofocus and auto-exposure) calculations at up to 60 times per second, even when they're moving erratically or at high speed. Burst shooting with the Xperia PRO-I produces sharp images, even in low-light conditions, with less noise, thanks to the unique processing engine.
Anti-distortion shutter
The 1-inch Exmor RS image sensor's fast readout helps suppress the rolling-shutter effect that can distort images when capturing fast-moving subjects in both photo or movie modes.
Optical Image Stabilization For Shots With Less Blur.
If your hand is unsteady when you're taking the shot, Optical Image Stabilization technology helps deliver images with less blur, even in dark conditions.Multi frame noise reduction
In low light or high dynamic range situations, the Xperia PRO-I can utilize multi frame noise reduction. It automatically shoots more than 10 images continuously, combines them, reduces the noise, and records them as one image to further enhance the high imaging quality.
Controls and settings inspired by Alpha
With Photography Pro on the Xperia PRO-I, you'll find controls usually found on professional cameras. Using an interface inspired by Alpha cameras, you can choose manual controls or automatic settings and shoot in RAW4. Photography Pro also offers Basic mode for fast access to a range of easy-to-use photography features including a touch shutter button.
12-bit RAW for smooth color gradation
When shooting in RAW format, the Xperia PRO-I supports 12-bit which creates smooth and rich tonal gradation of the color without banding.
Shutter button gives you that true camera feel
With its dedicated shutter button, using the Xperia PRO-I feels a lot like using the Sony RX100 series. It even features the same shutter switch module and requires similar button strokes to operate AF and shutter release. You can also long-press the shutter button to quickly launch Photography Pro and start shooting immediately.
Eye AF for stills and videos
Sony's advanced eye-detection and tracking performance are not only the secret to beautiful still portraits: they also help you capture stunning video footage. By recognizing the human or animal eye and maintaining focus on it as your subject moves, Eye AF brings videos to life as never before.
High quality video with an authentic shooting experience
With its 1-inch image sensor, the Xperia PRO-I takes the quality of your videos to another level, while Sony's unique UI helps you fully realize your creative vision, achieving shots just as you intended.

The result is supremely smooth, shake-free video footage.Stay focused with Object Tracking for videos
Object Tracking can automatically track a moving subject and keep it in sharp focus, even when it doesn't have eyes or its eyes are obscured from view.
Worlds first native 4K 120fps20 high frame rate recording in a smartphone
The Xperia PRO-I is the world's first smartphone capable of capturing 4K HDR native 120fps high framerate for video. This means you can capture and playback 120fps while maintaining all frames, offering a greater amount of flexibility for real-time or slow-motion editing.
