Sony Xperia PRO-I 512GB 5G Smartphone with Vlog Monitor & Grip Kit (Unlocked, Frosted Black)

Sony Xperia PRO-I 512GB 5G Smartphone (Unlocked, Frosted Black)

Combining truly professional camera hardware with a "go-anywhere" vlog-friendly form factor, the Sony Xperia PRO-I 512GB 5G Smartphone is the answer to elevating your mobile content creation to the next level. The "I" in "PRO-I" stands for "Imaging," which the Xperia PRO-I delivers in abundance. The star of the PRO-I experience is a 24mm wide-angle camera with a large 1" Exmor RS CMOS sensor, which incorporates a real iris for dual f/2.0 and f/4.0 apertures and a sharp ZEISS Tessar T* lens made from high-index aspherical optical glass.

Capture crisp, detailed stills with naturally rendered bokeh and exposure control, and record cinematic videos that can be saved natively to memory in 4K at up to 120 fps. Videos of fast-moving subjects are possible thanks to Video Eye AF and object tracking, also at 4K/120p. These are just some features of a triple-camera array that also includes a 3D iTOF depth sensor, a 16mm ultrawide, and a 50mm standard lens. All three lenses offer 12MP resolution and large pixels for exceptional low-light performance.

To further ensure that what you shoot is of extremely high quality, Sony incorporates a BIONZ X processor for dedicated image and video processing. This adds improved noise reduction in any shooting mode and real-time 12-bit raw processing at up to 24 fps. These are just some of the PRO-I's imaging capabilities, which are mirrored by robust hi-end smartphone functionality. Mobile features include a large 6.5" 4K HDR OLED screen for immersive gaming and video streaming, 5G network connectivity for fast broadcasting of content on location, and support for both Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos audio formats for even more realism.

GSM/4G LTE + 5G Wireless Connectivity

This phone is designed to work on select GSM & 5G (Sub-6) networks. 5G is a cellular network data protocol capable of extremely fast data speeds that rival, or surpass, that of wired broadband internet providers. 5G speeds can vary considerably based on location, but on average, should have no problem streaming 4K video. As 5G upgrades over time, mobile AR and VR applications could become possible. The phone is backward compatible with 4G LTE, 3G, and 2G data for locations that do not support 5G.

North American Variant / US Compatible 5G

The Xperia PRO-I is a North American variant. It may be used in other parts of the world; however, 5G access may be limited or unsupported, depending on the network. Please choose your country/carrier above to confirm the network compatibility of this phone.

Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS)

Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) allows you to lower your mobile costs when traveling while staying connected. Once your SIM cards are installed, you will be able to receive phone calls and text messages from either without needing to manually choose which one is active. When you want to make a call or send an SMS message, you can select the correct SIM card. When one SIM card is being used for a phone call, the other will not be active until you hang up. Operator charges may apply.

Android 11

This phone runs Google's Android 11 operating system, which gives you access to the millions of available apps in the Google Play Store, in addition to a host of built-in capabilities. These capabilities consist of an array of new and updated features that are meant to enhance your mobile experience. Below is a small list of highlights that you can enjoy with the release of Android 11.

• Conversations: Pull down on your screen to manage ongoing conversations from multiple message apps. If there's someone you speak to often, you can prioritize them to show on your lock screen.
• Bubbles: Continue to use your phone while popping in and out of ongoing chats. A chat bubble floats above your apps and contains pinned conversations you can access with a tap.
• Screen Recording: Without needing an extra app, you can use this feature to record your screen with or without audio or showing touches you make on the screen.
• Control Smart Devices: With a long press of the power button, you can see and manage all of your home's connected devices in one place.
• App Permissions: Pop-ups give you the ability to grant apps one-time permission to specific information and functions. You can also have permission settings auto-reset for unused apps to keep your data secure.

External Monitor

When attached to your camera and used as an external monitor, the Xperia PRO-I offers a host of additional capabilities. You can livestream what your camera sees online, use Wave Form to check the exposure and RGB balance, and use False Color to assist with iris setting selections by ensuring the details for exposure are more noticeable. You also get a trigger function for recording and stopping via a USB Type-C cable, and on-screen statuses that include whether you're recording or not, shutter speed, f-stop, ISO, and EV.

Sony Vlog Monitor for Xperia PRO-I

Properly frame your vlogs with the Sony Vlog Monitor for Xperia PRO-I while utilizing the PRO-I's high-powered wide-angle lens for the best results. The display includes a smartphone mount and connection cable so you can set it up right out of the box. Just place the Xperia PRO-I inside the mount with the rear cameras facing you. Then, magnetically snap the 3.5" LCD display to the back of the holder and use the cable to power the screen from the PRO-I.

The resulting setup gives you a live-view monitor to frame yourself in the shot and monitor the scene as you record, so you'll know if anything changes or comes into view behind you. In this orientation, the microphone built into the Xperia PRO-I near the rear lens can pick up your voice clearly, or you can attach an optional external mic to the PRO-I and mount it on the phone holder's integrated cold shoe.
