Most people use the automatic settings of their smartphone camera, but for those who want to take things to the next level, there is the Sony Xperia Pro-I is the one for them. The phone was developed with help from Sony’s Alpha camera engineers, and even after several weeks of use, the phone was too much for me to handle.

While many smartphones have basic software to control your cameras, Sony provides software that gives users full control over every function in the triple camera array. Unlike every other Android phone I have used, there is no application on the phone called Camera. Instead, Sony provides Photo Pro, Cinema Pro, and Video Pro apps. There is also an Imaging Edge app that supports connections to dedicated cameras.
Sony has several features that have been brought forward from phones of the past, including a microSD card, camera shutter button, 3.5mm audio port, and a notification light. These are all useful for professional photographers.
Pros:
- Advanced, expert-level camera apps
- Solid battery life
- Excellent build quality
- Familiar Sony Alpha camera experience
- Lovely high-resolution display
Cons:
- Very expensive
- Limited zoom capability
- Sensitive shutter button
