'Xperia PRO-I ' which was installed in Sony's smartphone 'Xperia' series after optimizing the 1.0-inch image sensor used in the 'premium compact camera' 'RX100 VII' in 2021 It will be released on Wednesday, December 15th.

I compared 'Xperia PRO', which is a smartphone for video creators, with 'Xperia 1 II' with almost the same specifications --GIGAZINE

'Xperia PRO-I' with a camera placed in the center of the back gives off a strong presence.

The body color is frost black. Although the corners are rounded, the silhouette that gives an overall linear impression is typical of the Xperia series.

Next to it is the 2020 spring model

Xperia 1 II . The dimensions are about 72 mm x 166 mm x 8.9 mm for the Xperia PRO-I and about 72 mm x 166 mm x 7.9 mm for the Xperia 1 II, and there is no difference other than the thickness.

USB Type-C port on the bottom. The first 'Xperia PRO' had an HDMI Micro terminal because it was for video creators, but the 'Xperia PRO-I' does not.

There is a SIM card slot on the left side near the top (on the right side of the photo).

The top is equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack that supports 4-pole headsets.

The volume button, power button, shortcut button, and shutter button are lined up on the right side from the top (left hand in the photo). Xperia 1 II does not have a shortcut button.

The front camera has approximately 8 million effective pixels / F value of 2.0.

The rear main camera has a 16mm ultra-wide-angle lens with an effective pixel count of approximately 12.2 million pixels / F value of 2.2. A 24mm wide-angle lens has an effective pixel count of approximately 12.2 million pixels / 1.0-inch Exmor RS CMOS sensor / F value of 2.0 / 4.0. 50mm. The standard lens has an effective pixel count of approximately 12.2 million pixels / F value of 2.4. It is equipped with a 3D iToF sensor that instantly measures the position of the camera and subject to achieve accurate AF.

The actual weight was 209g.

I will take it out and shoot various things.
