Sony Xperia Pro is the only phone that truly deserves the "Pro" name... which is why you don't need it.

RIP PONY Xperia series...!! 🇯🇵👎💀

what will be the pricing for this device

Does anyone know of a case for the X1ii that resembles the Pro body? That would be badass! 😁

Waiting for Xperia 1iii review.

Sony has such a great potential to build their ecosystem up and give Apple a good challenge. If they can make their HUGE variety of products communicate to each other seamlessly, I would give Sony a run. I mean, C'mon, everybody already has at least one Sony product, right?

While the japanese are so obsessed with apple... jeez

You know why you're the greatest YouTube tech reviewer? Aside from the impeccable production, you are honest and not biased, in a time and place where people turn into ads, posting for ad revenue and for hidden sponsorship, you are still honest and unbiased. I applaud you sir, respect!

Review the redmi note 10 budget phon pls

After LG, the next company to shut down its mobile divison will be Sony. I mean come on guys, how stupid do you have to be ? These idiots make phones that they like, that they need and that they want. And in the process they forget about customers. If you want to sell phones and make profit then make phones that customers like, want and need. RIP sony, bye bye in advance.

Please review 1iii

If I was rich I would get something like this tbh, more exclusive than any other crap and still super hi tech
KinNectar
Any chance they will add waveforms, false color, and touch controls, etc. via USB? Could be done on a software update.
suiiperable
You forgot to mention color.
The display is calibrated manually before they're shipped for accuracy

Why does sony just try to creates something small and have a small prices to buy?
Long Johnson
Sony probably had Youtubers in mind and they would probably disagree that there is a small target audience. Sony just doesn't understand that $2500 is a lot of money for some people. That is why a basic beginners camera without a lense will cost $2000 from Sony. You want an A7 SIII with 3 or 4 prime lenses? $10,000+ so you sure won't mind dropping another $2500 on a smart phone that will work nicely with the A7 SIII. This is their line of reasoning I am pretty sure.
Pink Siomai
Sony never fail to surprise everyone. Always on top of everything. The next thing we know, this kind of tech is being used in 3 to 4 years from now. Also, honest and good review. well done brother, well done.

Is this out or what?

Like the finish of the phone. too expensive though.

you can buy a macbook pro and a prosumer mirrorless camera at the same price instead of having a phone that acts as external screen and internet connectivity for a specific camera (that you also have to buy extra to 2.5k phone)... I'll just leave it there...

2500 and a pro title for 5G viewfinder ? 🤔 is it really a good deal ?
Didn’t get to hear anything for any phone feature though 😕
Simple
Bored at the first sight....😞. Seems like Sony going backwards.. mobile phone a aaaam not for Sony. They should stick to making TVs and other electronic items.
Gérald Lagniet
Very impressive and i'm agree with your feelings. Excellent job Sony but not for me !

Look mom my expensive viewfinder can make calls!
Amethyst Sapphire
While it's a great phone nobody in the major market will be buying this...same goes for the Walkman sony still makes which can go upwards to 1K...most of this stuff will end up being just a windows phone great concepts and ideas but another company out of touch with people, yes some may buy it but it won't be a major share that's for sure.
Arnold Salman
Sony after sales are so bad that they don't sale sony smartphones in my country anymore. Which is sad
Mark Pinegar
I’m really just a beginner when it comes to this topic, but does a 4K display on a phone with that size really make a difference? It seems like it wouldn’t.
I have to ask you another question… With my phone attached to my mirror camera, can I take a call? Can I make a call?
Perhaps the high speed file transfer capabilities you mentioned, as well as the OLED display, are valuable enough to some small part of the market to justify the high dollar price-tag. But if I’m one of those few people that do need this device for my mirror less camera, I have to say that I’m gonna want a second phone as well to make phone calls or receive them while I’m doing my work.

I bet a lot of the functionality doesn't work, like sending a photo to the phone and out to the cloud or social media sites. This functionality has been claimed by Sony for a long time via bluetooth to your phone. It. Has. Never. Worked. I would like to have seen you test it rather than just accept Sony's word for it.

Does it get smarter , if not then it just like any smartphone

If this was white labeled by Apple, it will sell out.

Sony is too expensive luxury fone not worrh it. fone should be resonable price n best features.

Came from UB and they said the same thing as far as the only camera that deserves the Pro label
At $2500, it definitely is SPECIFICALLY made for the MB type that are camera enthusiasts. This definitely ain't made for the average phone person
Dante-Gabryell Monson
Great! Would it be a stretch to speculate that future versions might use video out and data sync via usb c, between a camera and the phone's screen, enabling the smartphone's touch screen to interface directly with the way the camera operates instead of using the buttons?
Chase
I had a Sony Xperia that I really wanted to like, but it was slow and the camera was garbage especially in low light environments.

Sony is trash, y'all dick ride them so much , never got an Sony or android , ios is better

Honestly, the reason I am considering an Xperia is because I dont do photography, I dont watch movies on it, but I am always listening to music on it. Sony has been some of the best in the business when it comes to audiophile equipment and they probably have the best digital audio converters it the smartphone world. I prefer wired headphones just because blutooth can lose some fidelity because the blutooth headphones have the DAC in them, but wired headphones can use the DAC the phone came with. Apple is pretty good, most android is a little worse, but Sony has made a reputation with quality DACs. I want to see if their phones are good for music lovers but nobody talks about that :(
792bnz
LG should be thinking along the same lines. The 3.5mm audio jack can be there sweet spot. Music sounds really good on anything you plug it into. Doesn't have to be extreme just improve sound quality as much as possible for the audiophile
ishak aygur
The reason why I buy sony smartphones en tv's is because of the quality. They don't break after 3 or 4 years like most of the Samsung products

avgonyma1
Marques, do you mind explaining (i na video?) what is all the gear you have on the table and what you're using it for and why you chose what you chose?
Joshua Lickey
People don’t buy the phone because none of the carriers have them available in store. You can’t make payments through your cell carrier. The only way to get a Sony phone is through Sony’s website. I guarantee you that if Sony had their phones right next to the Samsung and Apple phones at AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile their sales would go way up
Chris Nihar Kancherla
What about in built cameras in that phone
whoawhat09
Using that as a screen for that camera is relatively pointless though. The image is smaller than the built in swivel out screen on the camera itself. "But its in 4k..." BFD would anyone really notice a difference at the size?
Darko Deus
Nobody buy's sony phones cause they cost too much. 2500 is not worth it.
Kenn Honson X
@Darko Deus Oh god you idiot, this phones is not a camera. It is a monitor with several unique features, not a TikTok Snapchat Insta selfie camera mainstream overpriced smartphone.
Darko Deus
@Kenn Honson X , lmao what pros? Pros don't use phones to capture beautiful images lol they use camera's. Not even professional youtubers. Go back to basics. Next thing you're going to tell me only "pros" use smart phones, not actual computer's 😂🤣😂
Kenn Honson X
It is. You're just a mainstream person who doesn't know anything about what pros need and what they pay for their equipment. This phone is am absolute steal for the price.

Loved my sony phones since the collab with walkman with cingular. Favorite smartphone they did was the Xperia Ion, and now I'm in love with my Xperia 1. Only complaint is I didn't get my phone in purple.

@Kenn Honson X why you're assuming im gen z immediately 😂😂. Im just using common sense. Maybe the pros would. But the average phone buyer wouldn't.
Kenn Honson X
Gen Z lmao. You don't know anything you mainstream person. Pros love this phone a lot, it is absolutely worth it, it's actually a steal.

Can you use the phone as an external monitor for ps4? Plz if you can answer, I'm really curious.
Iam Gömböc
If I was doing stedicam gigs more often I'd buy this in a heartbeat. It offers nothing to regular users, and I doubt vloggers could get the most out of it. Be a camera operator in sports events or conserts etc., this is the nothing short of jawdropping.
Renz Emmanuel
imagine streaming with this

Sony should thank you for spreading the cool feature of this phone on very easy to understand way!
