We asked, you told us: Here’s how you really feel about the Sony Xperia Pro-I
August 02, 2025
Sonymay be out of the mainstream smartphone market nowadays, but it’s certainly not done innovating in the mobile landscape. Big camera sensors, high-resolution displays, and even higher price tags are the name of Sony’s smartphone game. The company’s latest smartphone, theXperia Pro-I, fits that bill perfectly.
The Xperia Pro-I has a massive 1-inch camera sensor, which allows the phone to shoot in dual f/2.0 and f/4.0 apertures and provide less low-light noise, more bokeh, and autofocus that supposedly covers 90% of the frame. This sensor is supported by two additional lenses: a 12MP 1/2.9-inch sensor with an f/2.4 aperture and a second 12MP 1/2.5-inch lens with an f/2.2 aperture for wider shots.
