Pros & Cons
Pros
The xperia pro-i offers android v. Android with sony's bespoke features on top. It is an amazing phone based on purely around it's audio (recording and playback), picture and media quality. The phone is dual sim, however it's a 2nd sim or a micro-sd c... Read More
Sony's camera sits in its niche and is incomparable to rivals. Those who are finding the camera at fault are either inexperienced or not noticing that while other phones produce sharper images that do not replicate reality. The video in particular at ... Read More
Screen is exceptional with 4k oled120h, plus the inbuilt speakers are very good for a phone. The response and detail of the screen is as liquid smooth as you’d expect from the high refresh rate oled driven by a snapdragon 888 5g processor. What could ... Read More
The spec of the phone is phenomenal. This is probably one of the best phones in the eastern hemisphere right now.
Cons
The shot of the beach in mablethorpe taken by the sony is very poor. The detail of the sand on the beach and of the concrete of the promenade is very blotchy and has a mottled appearance. At £1000, it isn't a camera i could use. The lens are overrated... Read More
Pro video and pro cinema are unusable after 20 minutes of use; the mobile phone heats up and stops filming. Phone software is awful. There are other functions such as fingerprint recognition, which only works half the time.
Highlights
Quality
The build quality is exceptional and i like the dedicated buttons, including a tactile and responsive shutter button.
The camera quality is pretty good, that's one of the main reasons for me when looking for a phone as i love to capture the best... Read More
Useless but then they intend for it to be used with the very expensive add-on monitor screen for more professional use.
1mp sensor shared with the rx100 vii camera, although the phone limits 12mp.
Price
The elephant in the room for this all-round dazzling and presumably flagship sony xperia pro-i is always going to be the high cost.
Packaging/appearance
On to the camera and video, the pièce de résistance of the pro-i (i for imaging).
As part of this review i need to mention the screen.
Competitiveness
The 21:9 oled screen is simply a joy to stare at, the camera outperforms the competition in most scenarios, and performance is ... Read More
In the end, the xperia 1 is a high-end smartphone that’s filled to the brim with positives.
No doubt anyone contemplating spending £1,500+ on a high-end camera phone will have looked at all the online comparison reviews... Read More
While with the flagship qualcomm snapdraon 855 processor installed in the heart of its hardware suite, performance is rapid and... Read More

Coming from many years of using a dlsr i know how important the small nuances in photography can be and the reasons why phones dont stack up against cameras for their outright versatility

A bowl of fruit versus a landing aircraft or a flying bird are two totally different comparisons

Thats where this phone sits in its niche its ability is so subtle many wont even see it is there so will deny it is there at all rather than realise there are hundreds of usage scenarios that a camera needs to deal with and a phone can generally only deal with a few if them well sonys offering is able to cater for a vast amount of those scenarios without rival
