Following this diagram: Green is the entire sensor on Pro-I. The circle indicates the image circle, purple is the area used to take a photo, blue is the area used for video recording, and red is blue minus the pixels for stabilization(3840x2160).
Notice how much headroom you have between the red and purple rectangles and how there is not much of it between the red and blue. Since the diameter of the image circle is still restricted to the diagonal length of the 4:3 12 megapixel sensor area, the number of pixels which the electronic stabilization can use to wiggle the frame around will remain largely the same when shooting a video. You may gain more pixels for stabilization horizontally, but lose them vertically which will make the footage shakier when there are lots of up and down movements.
So what does this imply? FOV and the effectiveness of stabilization are comparable on Pro-I and other phones. The use of the Type 1 sensor does not offer benefit in both photo and video, resolution wise. Sony is being dishonest by not mentioning the sensor crop and tricking people into thinking the entire area is being used for photo in the product page, and only mildly hinting at it in a few interview articles that you need to dig in.

By the way, it seems that Xiaomi's main camera has OIS (that's definitely not obvious, one always has to check this in the official specifications), I just noticed that it was mentioned during the presentation.

A European launch and Indian launch would likely be a little more expensive than the Xiaomi 11 ultra though as both currencies have depreciated significantly against the Chinese rmb since the Xiaomi 11 ultra was launched

I'd take this along with xenon flash.

In Japan there is a cert called Giteki and it is illegal for you to use any kinds of wireless communication devices without one, and this includes all parallel imported multimedia devices, but no local careers nor the government ever cared about it.

Now even after Huawei has gone, companies are still in a sensor size race.

Anyway, there is zero chance japanese engineers make phone with bump that huge/thick. Panasonic did because it was more like camera with android than phone. But today, it is out of question.

It's pretty clear that Xiaomi is testing the water with this release to better prepare for the international releases of upcoming Leica-branded phones (13 series onwards) in the future.

blue, 04 Jul 2022Better then Xperia pro? In which timeline?Pro-I has an SD card slot and a headphone jack as well as a camera app that allows more granular control over how you capture photos and videos, but in terms of overall hardware specs it doesn't really compete with 12S Ultra.
