Expensive but highly capable camera
First off, do not compare this to iPhone, pixels or anything else. It doesnât compare. The point and shoot mode on this is phone isnât competitive but the custom camera controls are exactly what you see on a dedicated camera. The quality is there too. The high fps burst is also amazing, something the 888 canât do on its own. The speakers are amazing and loud, display is bright enough even in direct sunlight. This device also seems very durable. My complaints are meh battery life, poor software updates (still on April 2022 security patch at end of July), poor video autofocus tracking and narrow display cuts off some games. That said, my NEX-6 struggles to keep up with the Pro-I in many cases. Obviously the NEX can take a multitude of lenses but it also doesnât fit in my pocket or play movies and music. The Pro-I is a no brainer if you can get it under MSRP.

It’s a pocket size camera
As a Smartphone it has lots off issues as expected ðAny one who owned Sony phone knows it’s an issue any 300$ phone is better and have more function thinking.Fingerprint Sensor is bed. (Location and Hardware failure)Battery and Temperature are bed as All Sony Products I Have.As a pocket Camera it could be better.But I Never Missed A Shoot Seens I have this phone. (2 years)Would I Buy it Again?Yes.It’s Doing what it’s supposed to do with very good guality and speed.Kind like a Ducati ð

Amazing phone with some quirks
After my operator decided to kill my phone by turning off 3G infrastructure I started to look at new device.I use my phone primarily as an audio player and in camera on the go in situations when I don’t have DSLR with me. My requirements were:- 3.5mm jack (and good DAC chip)- Camera without pixel binning capable of shooting RAW- Good battery for a full day of useI was unpleasantly surprised how limited my choices where. After some consideration I decided to splurge and pre-ordered Sony Pro-I and I am so happy about my choice!Audio is great, I really like how my IEMs sound with this phone.Photo experience is good. I spent some time adjusting to Sony’s interface (Nikon user here), but this is somewhat expected. Two step shutter button is really nice and overall, workflow is very similar to any DSLR. Active area of the sensor is less than 1 inch and smartphone lenses are obviously far behind any modern prime lens, but it is enough for a 4K monitor or medium size photo print.One thing I was really surprised is how easy is to work with Lightroom on Android. For me transition from and to desktop versions of Lightroom is smooth and painless.Fingerprint sensor (which is also on/off button) requires some accurate finger positioning, but after some time it feels natural and works well.This is definitely not the phone for everyone. But if you are looking for a smartphone with great audio and camera for situations, when backpack with DSLR is not with you then I can recommend this device for consideration.P. S. there are lot of arguments there saying that separate camera is cheaper than this phone. Well, if you need just camera, and can carry audio player, camera and phone then yes. If you have a backpack carrier with 2 year old or for some other reason don’t carry Photo backpack 24/7 I would say no.Pro-I is definitely not a point and shoot camera. It is much closer to DSLR experience where you need to post-process RAW files in Lightroom or similar software. Majority of phones out there do post-processing automatically and that’s why out of the box many of them look more appealing. With Pro-I you have more freedom of edit, at the expense of effort.

Sony Killed my Screen. Not remotely worth the money.
For starters. Get the Asurion.I purchased December 8th 2022. Around May 20th 2024 Sony wants to do firmware updates. While in an air conditioned room the updates finished and BEHOLD! The screen would not come on and despite receiving texts and calls could not recognize commands cause the phone was dead.The camera is pretty bad for a Sony anything and I can’t tell you if there was an obvious difference in display quality and toughness compared to my old Samsung Galaxy 9. Xperia Companion (The Sony Mobile Troubleshooting App) didn’t work at all I imagine cause when I link my computer to my phone I would have needed a working phone screen to unlock the damn phone.A lot of reviews online coming out about the model’s inability to handle heat and humidity.I live in Houston Texas.So no I took the buy out option and bought a Nokia with a better camera.My two theories is that either Sony is making trash phones on purpose for some reason or they heard I didn’t want to join PSN because of Helldivers 2 so took their revenge on killing my phone.Stay away from the Xperia till this Zaibatsu gets it together and makes phone that can survive humidity and heat I guess.
