Nowadays, people use mobile phones to record their lives, and they pay more and more attention to mobile phone images, and they hope that mobile phones can have the ability to compare with professional imaging equipment. At the end of the year, Sony launched a flagship machine equipped with a 1-inch image sensor - Sony Xperia PRO-I, which introduced CMOS from Sony's black card to the smartphone and defined it as a "micro single phone". Below we will take you to a comprehensive understanding of this Sony flagship micro-single mobile phone that costs more than 10,000 yuan from the perspective of daily use experience and image experience.
Industrial Design: Waveform frame design
Out of the box to see this Sony Xperia PRO-I, frosted body, 21:9 4K 120Hz screen, the bezel introduces a sony micro-single characteristic waveform frame design. The material of frosted glass and metal frame gives people a more professional sense of vision as a whole, and it is also very textured to hold on the hand, which avoids the trouble of fingerprint residue while bringing a smooth feel.
Image flagship: one-inch "micro single" mobile phone
Next, let's take a look at the Sony Xperia PRO-I highlight: imaging. The Sony Xperia PRO-I main lens uses the same 1-inch CMOS of the Sony Black Card Camera RX100 VII, which raises the image quality of the smartphone to the level of professional micro-single by introducing a larger sensor.
The Sony Xperia PRO-I's 24mm main camera supports two variable apertures, F2.0 and F4.0, while the other two cameras are a 16mm ultra-wide-angle lens and a 150mm telephoto lens, both of which have the blessing of ZEISS Optics. Basically, it can cope with the current common shooting scenes. The model is also equipped with a 3D iToF sensor that assists in focusing.
During the process of shooting, I experienced the convenience of this "micro single phone". Like our ordinary mobile phone to take a photo and want to focus, you need to use your fingers to point. The Sony Xperia PRO-I has a shutter key on the side that is the same as the micro single, when the shutter is pressed halfway, the screen will flash to align the focus, and after the actual press, it will become a film. Sony this time let users achieve a micro-single experience on the mobile phone.
What about the Sony Xperia PRO-I's rugged configuration with a 1-inch sensor and 2.4μm pixel pitch? You can see at a glance from the photos after imaging. Unlike traditional 1.8μm pixels, 2.4μm pixels ensure the sensitivity of the sensor, but also bring more light transmission, capturing more light and shadow details in the picture. The larger sensor can greatly improve the purity of the picture, so that the photo can have a clearer picture even if it is taken at night, and the processing of dark details after imaging is also richer.
The most attractive part for me, the Sony Xperia PRO-I has 315 phase detection AF points, which can be firmly locked when shooting, and can also be eye tracked focus, which can more clearly capture fast-moving objects in the process of portrait shooting, pet shooting and sports capture, which is very suitable for pet lovers to record the daily life of owners and pets.
In addition, Sony's consistent photography master App also provides users with a similar mode to micro-single, but the increase of the shutter button makes the Xperia PRO-I closer to the micro-single experience, and this time it can shoot RAW 12-bit files.
So having said all that, what about the actual photo sample of this Sony Xperia PRO-I? Let's look down.
Main photo sample
When shooting details on a daily basis, we can use the F2.0 aperture to increase the depth of field and increase the expressiveness to the subject.
For shooting buildings or landscapes, shooting with a larger aperture can preserve more detail.
From the night view above, it can be seen that the Sony Xperia PRO-I's 1-inch outsole and 2.4μm pixel pitch double the role at night, improving the surrounding low-light environment. Even if you shoot at night, you can shoot a blockbuster feeling.
This time, the Sony Xperia PRO-I also added the Video Master feature. After some experience, I found that this app is simply a Vlog artifact.
When recording, you can choose a fully automatic mode, and no parameters need to be adjusted; You can also choose to adjust the shutter aperture, ISO, AE, white balance to achieve the desired picture effect. In terms of focus tracking, video master is also the first time to support eye focus and real-time focus in the video. Nowadays, many people often use their mobile phones to shoot Vlogs to share their daily lives with friends or fans, and this time Sony's video master App will surely be loved by the public.
Coupled with the vlog kit launched with the Xperia PRO-I, a separate screen is connected to the mobile phone through a data cable, and with Sony's own controller, it can be shot with a 24mm main camera lens and operated remotely through the handle. Coupled with the xperia PRO-I's new rear microphone and the wind noise filtering function, the effect of recording vocals is very good.
Performance configuration: equipped with Snapdragon 888
In terms of performance experience, Sony Xperia PRO-I is equipped with a mainstream flagship processor - Snapdragon 888, and is equipped with 12GB OF RAM and 512GB ROM. At the same time, Sony also brings game enhancers to gamers, which can achieve multitasking, microphone optimization, screen recording and other functions that gamers like, and can also call the keypad mode for input by default when text input is made in the game, minimizing the game perspective blocked by the keyboard.
In terms of battery life, the Sony Xperia PRO-I has a large-capacity battery of 4500mAh built-in, and there is also a STADIUM mode. When the charge is below 90%, turning on STAMINA mode can extend battery life. Battery protection charging technology is also supported, which can prevent overcharging of mobile phones and avoid battery loss through automatic, custom, and always three modes.
System: Reached cooperation with Meizu Flyme system
Before the release of sony Xperia PRO-I, Sony and Meizu Flyme system reached a cooperation, which is also Sony and Flfvc
ymeOS has just begun to cooperate, and it is believed that the two will undergo a deeper and multi-faceted integration after that. We all hope that the future Xperia phone will run FlymeOS perfectly.
summary:
After a period of evaluation, Sony Xperia PRO-I as a new generation of "micro single mobile phone", the core highlight is the sony micro single technology into the mobile phone, and is to ensure that the fuselage is light and thin on the basis of the use of 1-inch image sensor, for the habit of using mobile phones to record life to provide stronger hardware support. Of course, it is worth noting that in order to fully control the camera of this phone and exert its "micro single mobile phone" strength, you also need to think more and be good at using its professional mode, if you are a professional user who is keen on imaging, we highly recommend this phone. With such a pioneering product, we may also look forward to the follow-up Sony to continue to exert efforts in the field of imaging, launch more amazing products, and carry forward the concept of "micro single mobile phone".
