Sony Xperia Pro | Professional smartphone for photographers

In an event today (Monday, February 24), Sony announced the Xperia 1 Mark 2 flagship device and immediately introduced theXperia Pro, Which compared to the flagship device presented earlier is primarily for photographers and less for the average user who wants a flagship device. The Xperia Pro Sony was built for photographers in the first place, so it comes with a surface-resistant structure, with Micro HDMI connection and full support for fifth generation (5G) networking through a special design.

Initially, the front of the device revealed a size screen 6.5 inches, With OLED panel, 4K resolution and 3840 x 1644 pixel layout. The display ratio amounts to 21 by 9 in the CinemaWide configuration, with the screen supporting HDR content, coming with the X1 engine to prevent blurring and mimicking the high refresh rate (90 Hz). In addition, 100 percent DCI-P3 is also supported here, working according to the illuminant D65 illumination standard, which guarantees accurate whiteness balance and color display at 8-bit depth.

The Xperia Pro’s design upgrades durability at every turn, backed by Corning Gorilla Glass 6 glass on its front and made of special non-energy-saving material (Low Dielectric Constant) With its back so that the fifth-generation mmWave waves can pass through and provide users with a stable network connection device. So far, we know that the mmWave waves are not very stable and capable of short-range travel, but Sony built the Xperia Pro with surfing the 5G network first and foremost Antennas on all sides in 360 configuration, Which allows it to absorb the web waves best.

To enable continuous fifth-generation browsing, Sony equips the device with a new cooling system that uses a graphene layer, a vapor chamber, and a spacious airspace so that the fifth-generation grid can be surfed on the mmWave without worrying about warming. However, even if the device warms up, it is good to know that it can always be cooled with clean water due to its dual IP65 and IP68 resistance, which gives it dust protection and low water jet resistance for at least 3 minutes. In addition, the smartphone can be immersed in water for up to half a meter for half an hour.

Moving on the frame of the device, here we can see the power on and off button on the right, which also incorporates a fingerprint scanner, with the volume adjusting buttons above and below you can see the camera start button and another customizable button. In his left frame, Sony places the connectionMicro HDMI Allows direct connection to the camera and is covered by a stopper that maintains water and dust resistance.

The device’s performance cut is powered by the Snapdragon 865 chipset, which is manufactured in a 7-nm process and features 8 Kryo 585 cores at a maximum 2.84 GHz frequency. The multitasking is based on 8 GB of working memory, along with 512 GB of UFS storage with the option of expandable by memory card for up to 1 extra byte.

Behind the scenes is the Android 10 operating system, with a battery running beside it 4000 millimeter / hour Rechargeable via USB Type-C connector with fast charging support for USB-PD standard. The mentioned battery comes with support for Xperia Adaptive Charging technology for controlled charging and Battery Care to learn the user’s charging habits and adjust the charging rate to maintain long-term battery life.

In a remarkable move, Sony returns the headphone jack that it removed several generations ago, so Xperia Pro can listen to music through both the standard headphone jack and the Bluetooth version 5.1. In addition, the sound section is also supported by LDAC (Digital to Analog Converter), a pair of front-end speakers providing stereo sound and audio enhancement technologies such as Dolby Atmos and DSEE Ultimate.

At the same time, the camera system also supports autofocus tracking (Real-time Eye AF), Which allows us to take pictures of people and animals without having to re-focus each image.

With the aim of improving autofocus speed, Sony has embedded Dual PDAF support with the new model so that it can give us faster focus performance than ever before under the harsh lighting conditions of the main camera and the zoom camera. In order to embed a real-life color image, the company continues to incorporate the appropriate RGB-infrared (infrared) sensor on the scene before producing the final image.

In order to prevent vibrations and allow better photography in harsh lighting conditions, Sony incorporates optical stabilization (OIS) in both the main and zoom sensors, in addition to the Optical Steady Shot technology that stabilizes video photography through both optical and software stabilization (EIS) . In addition to this, the SteadyShot with Intelligent Acitve Mode technology is also available here that actively stabilizes in 5 axes but is usually limited by resolution.
