JAKARTA - Sony has just launched its Xperia Pro premium smartphone in the United States (US). This phone comes as Sony's first 5G phone for the US market and the price is quite high. This premium smartphone is released at a price of US $ 2,499 (Rp.35 million).
Its high price means this phone is not for everyone. Sony targets professionals; users who can turn the device into an external camera monitor via HDMI input.
In addition, 5G connectivity can be used to upload or stream live quickly.
Apart from HDMI input and US 5G support, the Xperia Pro's hardware is no different from the Xperia 1 II.
The Xperia 1 II was launched in the US with 4G connectivity while in Europe it came with 5G support. This next model will not be launched in Europe, according to Sony.
In terms of specifications, the Xperia Pro sports a 6.5-inch OLED display with a tall 21: 9 aspect ratio and sub-4K resolution of 3,840 x 1,644 pixels.
The device is powered by a Snapdragon 865 processor and packs a 4,000 mAh battery. On the back, the phone features a 12MP wide, telephoto and ultra-wide camera.
This phone runs on an operating system based on Android 10 and is only equipped with the September 2020 security patch level even though the year has changed to 2021.
The HDMI input is located at the bottom of the phone while the USB Type-C port is shifted to the left to ensure the HDMI port is in the middle.
Sony says it's capable of taking up to 4K 60fps HDR video streaming and should work with any camera that has an HDMI output to give you a clearer view of what's being shot.
Furthermore, the Xperia Pro supports Sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G, and Sony claims that it has a unique four-way mmWave antenna array to maximize reception.
There is also a built-in network visualizer app that you can assign to its shortcut keys to help you find the best position to get a signal.
