The next Sony Xperia Pro is rumored to have a rotating camera ring

18 December 2023
The ring will give you manual control over zoom, aperture and focus, just like on a real camera.

      What does that even mean. Sony phones' auto mode is a literal garbage, anyone who uses Sony phone (me included, Xperia 5 II) will tell you that. People usually try to defend it by saying you're supposed to use the pro mode, which understandably gives you decent results, but not everyone has 5 minutes to spend on every photo.

          Auto and manual give same results if you reproduce same settings.
          Difference to other phones is the fact HDR is not default.
          Other set to use HDR all the time, sony does not.

          Fuuny, super wide cam of 13 Ultra is weaker than 1v. Since it has no hardware size advantage. 1/2.5" vs 1/2.6".
          Explain.

            Anonymous, 18 Dec 2023Why this promoting site illegal leak 🤨 There's quite literally nothing wrong with this. Regardless of whether or not an illegal act was committed, reporting on that is what journalism is.

            Grow up.

              Meh. Sony should focus on stepping up their software game instead. What are all these 2 thousand dollar gadgets good for if your auto mode makes worse photos than a 200 dollar Xiaomi phone?

              Also, not a fan of moving parts on a phone. It's not a camera that you carry in a separate bag, it's a phone which you want to carry in your pockets, which means it will inevitably get the dust in its mechanism eventually.

                  People that work on xperia cam and Alpha/CineAlta are same people.

                  You dont know this? It has been 5 years already.

                    Anonymous, 18 Dec 2023It's not going to be like thatEasy to say that without saying what it will be like. In any case, it will be the year with the most change in 5 years (arrival of series 1, 5, 10). Personally I think that for Sony, 3 models would be enough. 1 Compact 5" because few brands have them, 1 6" and a very technological 7". But we will know more at MWC or later for the Pro.

                      Anonymous, 18 Dec 2023The 6.9" 4K C9 panels from Boe say otherwise. Since when has Sony ever used BOE panels? They're widely regarded as garbage and no one outside of China really uses them. Sony has stuck to Samsung panels since switching to OLED.

                        I bet Sony's alpha camera department doesn't like their brand being tarnished by these landifill phones. If my first 'Sony alpha camera' experience had been an Xperia, I wouldn't have purchased a real alpha camera. I wouldn't have even wanted one for free.

                                  If they called it Xperia Pro-II, it would mean Xperia Pro Imaging Imaging since the original Pro-I meant Pro Imaging.
