Here it's for daily professional use where you work and checks 4K content more often than ever. So yeah true usefulness for 4K display unlike other low resolution smartphones.

            Good luck with the 1 ii with 512gb storage and a bit faster 5G modem. 1 ii is still the better pick.

                Oh, Gawd. How hard it is for the people like you to understand that this device isn't for you; the ordinary consumers. It has gone on sale with the launch of the Alpha 1 camera line. It can do a lot more with the camera than merely in your hands. The price is there to curb the excessive demand and R&D that has been put into polishing the features for the target audiences... Like no one would buy the device anyway, but hear the price and go nuts are your traditions!

                            That's the end of Sony.
                            It's bad enough that Sony is releasing small quantities of the PS5 in order to keep the price and, demand up.
                            Goodbye Sony RIP....

                                    I'll get a second opinion about this model in a year when it's discounted to a realistic price.

                                        TheGoldenMellifluous, 26 Jan 2021Well, you seem to ignore the target market for this phone (... moreI didn't get why you laugh?

                                        I think a Medium format 10,000 USD, GFX 100 for photography and 3 separate lenses for macro to telephoto shots next to a P1000 daily driver is enough for me to store my videos and photos in almost every situations. If the quality matters.

                                        If talk about connectivity, Both mentioned phones have enough potential with two separate app stores in order to cover visual art app exclusivity. As far as I experienced, cameras connect to smartphones to seamlessly transfer data and they have their own apps to fully control cameras' data.

                                        If the Camera Monitor capability matters to you, I prefer to have 2,200 nit 7" FW279S 4K Monitor with 400 USD price tag, instead of the Xperia Pro.

                                        If talk about expensive movie production equipment or even mid range professional video production tools, and want to attach Xperia Pro to them, unfortunately you are on the wrong way.
