How much should the flagship smartphone cost? Well, today is considered the norm to ask for the top for 60-70 thousand rubles. Not that I believed that it was cheap, simply exist even more expensive models, against the background of which the price of devices from the segment of 800-1000 dollars looks more or less acceptable. Especially since overpay is usually offered only for some super-advanced, but low-contributable in real use of chips like a lidar, 100-fold zoom, etc. But one thing when you are asking for 100 thousand, and completely different when 200.
Google makes Microdroid - a trimmed version of Android. Why it is needed
Sony introduced his new Xperia Pro smartphone, appreciating it at $ 2,500, which, after currency transformations, and the VAT is quietly transformed into 200 thousand rubles. Despite the fact that the model has in its title Index Pro, the price-written by the manufacturer, this is a very atypical phenomenon for the market of even the most advanced devices. Such money, by the way, are folding smartphones like Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Huawei Mate XS. But in the case of Sony, we are dealing with the usual dream of a monoblock. So why am 200 thousand?
Xperia Pro characteristics
The key feature of Xperia Pro is to be destined. Sony declares that the smartphone can be used as an external monitor for cameras. To do this, it was provided with USB-C and MicroHDMI ports through which the device connects to the filming equipment. At the output, the whole design should look something like the image above.
In principle, have a 6.5-inch high-resolution screen as a viewfinder, the thing is very useful, especially for video music. Another thing is that for this money you can buy a professional monitor.
Why am I against fashion on displays like "waterfall"
Only in this case we will get a large screen with a sane diagonal, resolution, support advanced color rendering standard, etc. I'm not talking about what the Xperia Pro is unreasonably expensive as for its capabilities.
From the point of view of hardware characteristics, the smartphone is absolutely nonsense:
- Processor: Snapdragon 865
- Memory: 12/128 GB
- Display: OLED, ULTRA HD +
- Camera: Triple
- Battery: 4000 mA * h
- Support 5G: yes
Why do you need Sony Xperia Pro
As you can see, here we have a complete standard combination of specifications, which is difficult to call outstanding. This set was equipped with the flagships of last year. But they were not estimated not at 2500 dollars, and the maximum of 1000. In the end, pay extra 1,000 dollars for supporting MicroHDMI and the ability to connect to the camera is completely unnecessary.
No, it looks like Xperia Pro very unusual for smartphones of the model year. I like chopped faces, a laconic design of the camera, which does not distract you from the estimation of the device itself, as well as the abundance of control keys on the housing. However, the external appeal greatly undermines the manufacturability of the device. The case gives too thick frames along the edges of the screen, which is why the feeling that the smartphone is actually older than it really is.

Honestly, I do not understand at all, why and, most importantly, who needs Xperia Pro. On the one hand, it can be said that this is a purely professional thing and those who need to understand. But, on the other, one thing does not fit with the other, because first of all it is still a smartphone. I would still understand if the manufacturer would offer the top chamber with the support of advanced photo and video modes. But instead, we will apply the MicroHDMI connector and offer to connect the smartphone to the camera, paying 200 thousand rubles for it. In short, game.
