In full: Sony Xperia Pro review (opens in new tab) It's a handset we are very glad exists, even if we wouldn't really recommend you actually splash the cash and buy one.

Its eye-watering $2,499 / £2,299 launch price made that prospect incredibly difficult to justify. It’s also an Android smartphone that’ll run your camera companion apps like a champ, be they made by Canon, Sony or another camera maker.īut the Xperia Pro was never going to find many buyers who would use it their personal smartphone 'daily driver'. If you fall into this rather small market subset, the Pro proved to be really handy as a field monitor and a 5G hotspot. While some of you may disagree with DxOMark's ratings, we all have to admit that mobile photography has improved significantly this year with phone manufacturers pushing for better specs and image processing software.The standout feature of the Xperia Pro is that it was designed to be a two-in-one smartphone and field monitor for videographers. Rounding up the top 10 are the LG G4, Moto X Style and Samsung Galaxy Note 4.ĭxOMark commented that these Samsung and Sony flagship phones are setting a new benchmark for mobile image quality.
