80% Sony Xperia Pro-I review: Not for ‘normals,’ best left to the pros
Source: Android Authority
But the Pro-I isn’t just a smartphone. It’s a camera replacement that includes phone features, or at least that’s how Sony wants you to think of it. In this light, the phone features are a solid addition to a decent imaging device. The Xperia Pro-I’s camera performance is entirely different from those of standard flagship devices and is meant to appeal to pros seeking accuracy and flexibility over everything else. In that respect, it mostly succeeds. The imaging tools are far more advanced than your standard smartphone and will surely give knowledgeable content creators what they need to get the look they want. Whether or not it can replace the need for dedicated hardware is another matter entirely, and one which professionals will decide with their own wallets. Who should buy the Sony Xperia Pro-I? Not regular folks. Most consumers will be better served by a common flagship that offers point-and-shoot simplicity. The Pro-I is for those with the means and know-how to use it properly.

60% Sony Xperia Pro-I review
Source: Tech Advisor
Arriving with a dated chipset, limited software support and a sizeable price tag, the Xperia Pro-I isn't for the faint-hearted. There's no denying that implementing the same 1in sensor usually found on the company's compact cameras into a smartphone form factor is an impressive technical feat, not to mention the level of control over the still and video experience on offer is practically unrivalled. However, unless you find the Pro-I's unique appeal as a phone optimised for vlogging (which may cost even more, assuming you take Sony up on the Pro-I's dedicated accessories) impossible to resist or the dimensions of the company's equivalent RX100 compact cameras simply won't work for your needs, there are a wealth of alternatives that deliver a more worthwhile experience for a lot less. Consider our best camera phone roundup for a rundown of the top phones currently on the market, or if it's an Xperia you're after, we've got a shortlist of those too. Either way, even with some key strengths, the Xperia Pro-I's unique makeup makes it too niche to be considered a smart buy.

60% Sony Xperia Pro-I review: Photographic flexibility at all costs
Source: Expert Reviews
The Sony Xperia Pro-I is an expensive, high-end phone aimed at a very specific subset of users. If you’re a photographer – whether pro or avid amateur – who wishes to get more hands-on with the photography process, then you won’t find a better smartphone right now. With its physical controls, Pro-level camera app and huge 1in image sensor, as well as Sony’s low intervention approach to image processing, the Xperia Pro-I camera is designed to give you as much control over the variables of photography as possible. This means that it doesn’t yield the best point and shoot results, however, while its telephoto and ultrawide sensors aren’t among the best. Elsewhere the Sony Xperia Pro-I has a uniquely (one might say excessively) tall, pixel-packed display and a grippy industrial design that sets it apart from its contemporaries. In more general terms, the phone’s processor is already outdated, its battery life pales next to its rivals, and it’s still very expensive even with a hefty discount since launch.

50% Sony Xperia Pro-I proves why Sony should stop making phones
Source: Tom's Guide
Sony’s Xperia Pro-I goes all-in on pro-level imaging, but can’t match less expensive camera phones like the iPhone 13 Pro Max or Pixel 6 Pro. And it suffers from lackluster battery life, a dim display, and an unintuitive pro app user experience.

80% Sony Xperia PRO-I Review: Beautiful but definitely not for everyone
Source: Phandroid
Truthfully, I’m extremely conflicted when it comes to the Pro-I. On one hand, it’s the best Sony phone that I’ve ever used, even if you take the price tag and unique camera features out of the equation. The phone itself is rock solid in terms of performance, while also offering a design that is comfortable to hold and doesn’t make me feel like I’m carrying around a wide brick in my pocket throughout the day. Plus, the inclusion of the dedicated camera and video buttons on the side make it easy for me to take the phone out, snap a photo, and continue going on with what I was doing. On the other hand, it’s very obvious that this isn’t designed for the “everyday” person that only occasionally takes photos and doesn’t really care about the size of the image sensor. How is it obvious? The Pro-I’s price tag is just too high for it to be an option that you should even consider. Unless you’re a videographer or professional photographer and want something other than the Galaxy S22 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro Max for mobile photography, this phone isn’t for you. And it’s a shame because it’s a REALLY good phone.

Sony Xperia Pro-I Review: Alpha Camera Technology Finally Comes To Mobile
Source: Lowyat.net
At RM7199, it goes without saying that the Sony Xperia Pro-I is a phone that someone will purchase solely as a day-to-day device. To do that would mean doing the phone and its full 1.0-inch sensor a disservice and a waste of its capabilities. Throughout the course of this review, it’s not an exaggeration when I say that, with the phone in hand, I was constantly searching for my next subject to snap or a short video snippet to record, even if the latter action is not my forte. It’s not just the phone’s camera system that has me excited; everything, from the phone’s chassis to the textured shutter button made me feel, believe even, that every shot I took was definitely worth the effort and it actually shows in the final product. Having said all that, I will advise you that the Xperia Pro-I is an acquired taste: with what I can describe as a near-vanilla Android experience, it most certainly lacks certain features that other smartphone brands may offer (read: Samsung). For fans of the Xperia series and for avid camera enthusiasts and Vloggers, I recommend giving this phone a try.

Sony Xperia PRO-I is by far the best mobile we have tested in terms of picture quality. But note that it is first and foremost the cropped 1-inch image sensor of 12 megapixels that applies. PRO-I is also a damn good mobile in other areas, but it is clearly most interesting for those who need a mobile phone with the best camera. For everyone else, an Xperia 1 III will be a smarter choice, because with the PRO-I you pay a good deal extra for an expensive camera and advanced still image and video features. Until we get tested Leica’s Leitz Phone 1, which has a 1-inch CMOS image sensor with 20 megapixels in full size, the Sony PRO-I is the best camera mobile out there.

80% Sony Xperia Pro-I review: King of the phone cameras?
Source: Pocket Lint
Sony isn't hiding the fact it's going niche with the Xperia Pro-I. If you want a phone with professional-grade tools for videography and photography then it's certainly worth considering. It's one of the nicest looking and best-equipped phones on the market, but it's still not perfect - and is undeniably expensive. Other slight annoyances, like the physical shutter button being too easy to activate, the fingerprint sensor regularly registering failed scan, and the poor standby battery life, make it a phone that has its inconveniences in daily life. However, while the decision to crop so heavily into the 1.0-type sensor is just bemusing, the main camera's results in the right lighting conditions are different to the usual oversaturated, over-processed images of many of its competitors. For the photographer and videographer looking for that 'classic' image output, that makes this handset standout for the right reasons - but just not for that many prospective buyers.

80% Sony Xperia Pro-I review: Seamlessly professional
Source: Laptop Mag
If you enjoyed what you saw in the Sony Xperia 1 III, but are looking for an extended photography and videography experience with a quality 1.0-type sensor Exmor RS CMOS image sensor, then the Sony Xperia Pro-I is the perfect smartphone for you. Now, do you hear how niche that sounds? The Xperia Pro-I isn’t the flagship smartphone for everyone, and even professionals will have a hard time dishing out $1,799/£1,599 for a device that doesn’t quite match up with the quality found on the RX100 VII. Having said that, this is still a powerful Android smartphone that makes for a better camera alternative than a majority of its competition. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: from the dazzling 21:9 4K HDR display with a 120Hz refresh rate to the brilliant array of camera features, Sony has made another exceptional smartphone. Despite my high rating, however, I specifically didn’t give it my Editor’s Choice award as I did with the Xperia 1 III. This is purely because this isn’t the smartphone for a user that dabbles in photography from time to time like myself

80% Sony Xperia Pro-I review: top main camera, high-price
Source: Stuff TV
The Xperia Pro-I is a great camera phone – and a great phone in general. But its price means it has to be more than just great. Unfortunately, there are aspects where it isn’t: you only have to look at the spec sheet to see that it’s missing wireless charging, and that the camera specs aren’t super-impressive across its ultra-wide and zoom range. That said, Sony nails the phone’s design, its screen is glorious, and the UI is smooth and clean. What’s more, the primary camera is a real treat to use. It’s arguably the best camera phone for photography and video purists, and enthusiasts who enjoy taking full control of their footage and stills. So while it isn’t going to be for casual photo-takers, the Xperia Pro-I will likely have a fanbase.

While the Sony Xperia Pro-I offers a Basic mode, smartphones like the iPhone 13 Pro , Google Pixel 6 Pro , and Samsung Galaxy S21 provide arguably better point-and-shoot performance and results. The real power of the Xperia Pro-I is in using the advanced manual modes of the various Sony camera applications that give you access to all of the camera hardware elements for extreme tuning. Sample images and videos found online are stunning, and professional photographers should enjoy having their "big camera" experience right in their pocket. The Sony Xperia Pro-I is the most expensive non-foldable phone on the market, but it was not designed to compete with popular phones from Apple, Samsung, and Google. It is designed for a specific niche market, and it offers a lot for that segment of the world. I'm not sure that it offers $1,800 in value to professional photographers, but we'll have to see as more camera professionals spend weeks and months using the phone.

80% Sony Xperia PRO-I review: The Camera phone
Source: Phone Arena
Overall, I'm more than impressed with the Xperia Pro-I. As a phone, it's definitely raising the bar for Sony, but as a camera, it unlocks a whole new level of video and photographic capabilities. Aside from being the perfect phone for aspiring photographers who want to master their hobby or for established professionals who wish to have more creative control at their fingertips, the Xperia Pro is a phone for people who simply require more. Using the phone has been a pleasure, and it made me feel nostalgic about a few important quality-of-life features that we've lost with time. All the key aspects of a great phone experience are there, starting off with the crisp and accurate display, snazzy design, superb performance, tons of storage, good battery life, and yet, the phone completely trumps all of these with its exceptional camera prowess. In the right hands, the Xperia Pro-I could easily end up being an exceptional video and photo camera and deliver outstanding results. Yet, regular Joes might feel overwhelmed by the camera system, as they should be.

The Sony Xperia Pro-I is a welcome addition to Sony’s smartphone line, and is the most meaningful marriage of Sony’s imaging and mobile divisions to date. It’s also a very capable camera phone that will likely woo enthusiast photographers and videographers (who aren’t wedded to Apple). Its mass appeal is limited, though, given its high price, Sony’s very traditional photo processing and the fact it lacks features like wireless charging and a periscope camera.

Sony Xperia Pro-I: Road Trip Review (Hawaii)
Source: MrMobile
It was Battlestar Galactica which taught us that “All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.” Each year, tech megaliths like Qualcomm host huge press events in a tropical paradise. Each year, tech tastemakers flee their frozen local wintertimes to attend them. And each year, Sony builds a cameraphone that seems like the perfect tool to capture those adventures. Even without its optional tripod accessory and magnetic monitor, the Sony Xperia Pro-I (“I” for “imaging”) leaves no doubt about the kind of customer it’s built for. It’s a phone for vloggers; for travelers who’d prefer not to carry a full-size camera. In other words, it’s a phone for me. I’m Michael Fisher; join me for a week in Hawaii as I put the newest vlogging-centric smartphone to the test, in MrMobile’s Sony Xperia Pro-I Road Trip Review!

80% Sony Xperia Pro-I review: Not for ‘normals,’ best left to the pros
Source: Android Authority
The Sony Xperia Pro-I has a lot going for it, but the brutal price tag puts it out of reach for the bulk of smartphone users around the world. Good thing Sony doesn’t care much for regular smartphone shoppers. Instead, it’s hoping to earn the dollars of well-healed imaging professionals seeking to condense their content capture rig into a single do-it-all camera phone. Let’s talk about the good stuff. The hardware is excellent. The glass-and-metal build is flawless in terms of materials and manufacturing quality. The elongated design may not be for everyone and yet the Pro-I stands on its own in the market. The 4K(-ish) OLED 120Hz display is luscious and the battery life is quite good even when the screen is at its most power-consuming settings. The phone’s speed and performance is right up there with the best devices in the market, connectivity options are solid (though not bleeding-edge), and the audio experience is sublime. These combine to make the Xperia Pro-I a good smartphone when taken at face value.

We doubt our opinion would really be of any consequence to anyone who's okay spending €1800/$1800 on a smartphone with an unusual premise for its existence. If you're that person, then by all means, go for it, and we see no reason why you wouldn't be happy with your decision. Still, we consider the Xperia Pro-I to be more of a proof-of-concept device than a product that actually makes sense from a market standpoint. It undoubtedly has its merits, and one could rationalize why it would be superior to this or that alternative. But from our (we'd like to think) practical perspective, there are more sensible ways to spend your money and get where the Xperia Pro-I says it wants to take you.

Hands on: Sony Xperia Pro I Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
I’m glad Sony is making these kinds of phones. They’re different from the usual crowd and aren’t afraid to offer something for a consumer who wants more choice. While this phone is very much a high-end device, the only real reason to pay £1599 for it is the camera – just about everything else is available cheaper elsewhere. The camera itself is no doubt interesting and I have seen that, in the right hands, it can shoot some amazing video and capture some nice pictures. The neutral finish and lack of overbearing post-production give you a natural photo (or video) that’s prime for tweaking. It’s about as far away from the computational prowess of the Pixel 6, and to some extent the iPhone 13 Pro, as you can get. Is it better? Well, for that I will need to spend a lot more time with the Xperia Pro I.

Sony Xperia Pro-I as a video camera
Source: GSM Arena
Since we were given a preview-grade sample of the Xperia Pro-I, we haven't delved too deep into actual video quality. We have the samples from the current firmware up on YouTube for you to check out, but the results may change as the phone reaches a final state, and since there's a good two months before the market launch, there could be significant changes. We did play around with the apps Sony is offering (an ever-growing number seemingly), and we can say there are good bits and not-so-great bits. For starters, Cinema Pro is mostly unchanged from previous incarnations we've seen, and things like the missing focusing aids or the hard-to-grade color profiles are long-standing gripes we've had with that one. On the other hand, Video Pro is easier to like. It's a lot more approachable for someone without cinematographic training, yet it offers nearly as much creative control. It's perhaps just A-B focusing and 4K120 slow motion away from being as fully capable as CinemaPro, and it doesn't require labor- and time-intensive post-processing.

Sony Xperia Pro-I Review, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News
There’s no doubt that Sony phones have improved a lot in just a few years, and the location of the hardware makes it great for photography. But at the same time, the Sony Xperia Pro-I smartphone will look like any expensive camera phone, as you need the patience to understand each filter and feature manually. In short, if you’re a photographer, it’s a full-time replacement for DLSR. In contrast, the iPhone simple vlogger will get these features with the software and can edit later. But the Sony Xperia Pro-I phone is Sony’s trademark; it provides distinct features related to the camera department while in the other sections, all according to the main level standards, be it processing, battery life optimization, or display. In short, a great deal for photography enthusiasts. However, this phone is not for everyone, if you’re looking for an alternative to the overall user experience, you can check out the Honor Magic 3 Pro Plus smartphone.

OK, so the Sony Xperia PRO-I feels great, looks great, and has very promising camera specs. From our time with this early version, it looks like the software needs more fine-tuning. And we sure hope it gets it since this phone will be launching for the hefty price of €1,800 in Europe and — presumably — a similar number in dollars in the US. So, keep an ear to the ground and check out more reviews once the final build of the software gets pushed out. We surely will revisit this one when it’s time for a full review! It has a ton of exciting potential for shutterbugs.

Sony Xperia Pro-I hands-on review
Source: GSM Arena
The Xperia Pro-I will be launching this December for €1799. That's a hefty price, but far from absurd. For a high-end flagship that is also a professional photo and video camera, it sounds... not surprising. And it may even be a reasonable choice for people who both know their ways around cameras and who will use it to create high-quality content on the go where they can bring as little as a phone and the vlogging monitor. The Xperia Pro-I is not for everyone, and it can be potentially misunderstood. As a professional smartphone camera, it is not for the average iPhone vlogger, which expects to hit a key, then add a filter and click sent. It requires skills and patience and a deep understanding of photography and videography. The new Pro seems to be living up to the promises, and in addition to the cool technology, it also offers outstanding photo and video quality even when using Basic (all automatic) settings.

Qualcomm Adreno 660: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 35% faster than the Adreno 650 in the Snapdragon 865 SoC and offers a 20% better power efficiency.For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in 2021.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
