But the sensor in the Xperia Pro-I has been through seven generations of improvements and updates and combines the finesse of Sony's other phone photographic tools and apps.
Sony is not the only company to put a 1-inch sensor into a phone. Like other Xperia phones, the Pro-I doesn't have a dedicated night mode. This isn't a great way to take a photo, but I wanted to test the Xperia Pro-I against some harsh backlighting and it did a decent job of protecting the details and highlights in skin tones. The Xperia Pro-I doesn't apply too much sharpening. I like the way the Xperia Pro-I handles highlights and shadows in this photo of a trio of good doggies. The 50mm camera was disabled on the preproduction prototype. All photos and videos I shot were taken with the main camera and its 24mm lens or the ultrawide camera with its 16mm lens. I still have more testing and will do a full in-depth review once I can get a final production sample. Check out the hands-on video attached to this article to see video clips I shot using the Xperia Pro-I. Sony sent me a pre-production sample of the Xperia Pro-I to try. That's not necessarily a deal-breaker, but it's a definite bummer. That means instead of taking 20-megapixel photos like the Sony RX100 VII, the Xperia Pro-I takes 12-megapixel photos. The camera review website DPReview points out that just 60% of the Xperia Pro-I's 1-inch sensor is used for photos and videos. But it turns out, that 1-inch image sensor might not be fully used. A larger sensor means a wider dynamic range and improved low-light performance for both photos and videos.
What's amazing is that Sony was able to fit a 1-inch sensor into a phone body that is roughly the same thickness as an iPhone 13 Pro Max. The middle camera with the large lens opening has a 1-inch image sensor. It's basically a Sony Xperia 1 III phone with the sensor from a Sony RX100 VII camera. But you have to wonder: What if the iPhone, instead of having an image sensor that was 0.6 inches, had one that was 1 inch? And that's where Sony enters the conversation with the Xperia Pro-I. Now don't get me wrong, what Apple, Google, Huawei and Samsung have been able to do with tiny image sensors and computational photography is absolutely amazing. In 2018, cinema camera maker Red got our hopes up with the Hydrogen One phone which ended up having a mid-tier Android camera system that could shoot 3D photos and videos. For years, many of us have hoped for a phone with a truly amazing camera built around a large image sensor.
