Do you use your mobile phone to buy Sony Xperia Pro as a video monitor and streaming media?

As a video monitor and streaming media pusher, Sony Xperia Pro may be the mobile phone that photographers need!

Xperia Pro's 10 6.5-inch OLED screen has amazing high resolution and convenient aspect ratio of 2 1:9, which can be used as a viewfinder. With a camera like Sony A7SIIII, you can preview what you are shooting in real time by connecting the handle with the hot shoe seat, which is different from the flip screen of any camera.

The performance of Xperia Pro does not stop there, especially if you are a live producer. The body design of this phone takes into account the 5G push function. At present, it seems that no other mobile phone can have the function of Xperia Pro, which is more like three-in-one than two-in-one. There is no doubt that this is an excellent multifunctional smart phone, but it is also a very expensive multifunctional smart phone.

The price of this phone is $2,499.99/2,299 (about16,000 RMB), which pushes XPERIA PRO into a niche field-therefore, if you are an enthusiast or professional and are considering buying Sony's unique imaging accessories and flagship mobile phone, Xperia Pro is undoubtedly a good choice.
