Sony unveiled two pro-level devices yesterday, starting with a $ 2,500 smartphone (no, it doesn’t fold or roll up). Teased early 2020, the Xperia Pro is for video professionals working in the field, especially those who could use its mmWave 5G connection to broadcast events.
Unlike the standard Xperia 1 ii, the Pro model contains a four-way beamforming antenna to improve network performance and has a convenient network power viewer that shows users where the most stable signal is – a “5G radar” as Chris Velazco puts it. Other than that, this is an upgraded Xperia 1 II.
Then there is the Sony A1, its high-end photo and video camera for prosumers. With a next-gen 50-megapixel full-frame sensor and the company’s image processing technology, it seems to have everything it needs to scare both Nikon and Canon. Again.
It can easily take the Canon R5, but it’s priced significantly higher – $ 6,500. The characteristic that stands out might well be its speed. It can shoot 50.1 megapixel images at up to 30 fps, with autofocus and autoexposure enabled. At these speeds, you can capture up to 155 compressed RAW files before the buffer fills up – perfect for capturing crucial action moments or fast-moving animals. Of course, there is no shortage of video features – read all about these here – suggesting that the A1 might just be Sony’s best photo and video camera when it launches.
And yes, you can use it with your new $ 2,500 smartphone.
