To recap

Sony isn’t hiding the fact it’s going niche with the Xperia Pro-I. If you want a phone with professional-grade tools for videography and photography then it’s certainly worth considering. It’s one of the nicest looking and best-equipped phones on the market, but it’s still not perfect - and is undeniably expensive.
