About

Where tech gets a more inclusive edit. Basil here, a tech journalist of 15+ years. This is where I'm combining my experience in tech with my inclusive values and, hopefully, a lot of fun. That means tech reviews, camera comparisons, first looks and more, but expect a space where pride is celebrated, where conversations you may not expect to have on other tech channels are had, and where silly is encouraged. It's visibility, not rocket science, so I'll stop explaining, but if you want to start a conversation, whether you agree or don't, drop me a comment :)

Video Description

00:00 Intro & pricing, 01:18 Design, 04:06 Camera tech, 08:30 Video, 09:12 PRO-I VS 1 III, 13:32 Conclusion Sony's XPERIA PRO-I has blown us away. We love the performance in low light, high dynamic range scenarios - even the optical bokeh in shallow depth of field is good - without the need for any AI/computational image processing. As ever though it remains the case that to get the best results you will need to get into the Pro modes. All the photos in this video were taken in Pro mode. Our Pre-Production unit isn't fully operational. Not working yet on our device: 50mm telephoto lens, Eye AF, Object tracking for video . (we'll come back with a full review and some comparisons as soon as we can). Enjoy the video and thanks for your patience - I hope to be back making videos again within 2 months of my upcoming operation, And back with 2 to 3 videos per week! http://instagram.com/sony365official http://twitter.com/sony365official Intan's videos filmed on her Xperia 1 III and a6400 can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-BRrZ75C8a7k8DHDx4nxWA Specs courtesy of GSM Arena: https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_pro_i-11174.php BODY Dimensions 166 x 72 x 8.9 mm (6.54 x 2.83 x 0.35 in) Weight 211 g (7.44 oz) Build Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus), glass back (Gorilla Glass 6), aluminum frame SIM Hybrid Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by) IP65/IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 mins) Built-in strap-hole DISPLAY Type OLED, 1B colors, 120Hz, HDR BT.2020 Size 6.5 inches, 98.6 cm2 (~82.5% screen-to-body ratio) Resolution 1644 x 3840 pixels, 21:9 ratio (~643 ppi density) Protection Corning Gorilla Glass Victus Runs at 1096 x 2560 pixels except for select use cases PLATFORM OS Android 11 Chipset Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 5G (5 nm) CPU Octa-core (1x2.84 GHz Kryo 680 & 3x2.42 GHz Kryo 680 & 4x1.80 GHz Kryo 680) GPU Adreno 660 MEMORY Card slot microSDXC (uses shared SIM slot) Internal 512GB 12GB RAM UFS 3.X MAIN CAMERA Quad 12 MP, f/2.0-4.0, 24mm (wide), 1.0-type, 2.4µm, PDAF, OIS (315 PDAF points, 90% frame coverage) 12 MP, f/2.4, 50mm (telephoto), 1/2.9", PDAF, 2x optical zoom, OIS 12 MP, f/2.2, 124˚, 16mm (ultrawide), 1/2.55", Dual Pixel PDAF 0.3 MP, TOF 3D, (depth) Features Zeiss optics, Zeiss T* lens coating, LED flash, panorama, 12-bit RAW, HDR, eye tracking Video 4K@24/25/30/60/120fps HDR, 1080p@30/60/120/240fps; 5-axis gyro-EIS, OIS SELFIE CAMERA Single 8 MP, f/2.0, 24mm (wide), 1/4", 1.12µm Features HDR Video 1080p@30fps, 5-axis gyro-EIS SOUND Loudspeaker Yes, with stereo speakers 3.5mm jack Yes 24-bit/192kHz audio Dynamic vibration system COMMS WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, hotspot Bluetooth 5.2, A2DP, aptX HD, LE GPS Yes, with dual-band A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, QZSS NFC Yes Radio No USB USB Type-C 3.2; USB On-The-Go, DisplayPort FEATURES Sensors Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, barometer, compass, color spectrum Native Sony Alpha camera support BATTERY Type Li-Po 4500 mAh, non-removable Charging Fast charging 30W, 50% in 30 min (advertised) USB Power Delivery MISC Colors Frosted Black Models XQ-BE62, XQBE62-B, XQ-BE62-B, XQ-BE62/B, XQ-BE42, XQ-BE42-B, XQ-BE42/B Price $ 1,798.00 / € 1,799.00 / £ 1,599.00 TESTS Performance AnTuTu: 725839 (v9) GeekBench: 3540 (v5.1) GFXBench: 51fps (ES 3.1 onscreen) Camera Photo / Video Loudspeaker -28.6 LUFS (Average) Battery life Endurance rating 87h Thanks for watching!
