    [SONY XPERIA PRO 5G REVIEW]
    Cameras. I use them every day; I rely on them; I even like a few. But there’s a reason I shoot so many photos and videos on phones instead of proper glass: simplicity. To me, the landscape of camera gear is a vast netherworld of overpriced and under-performing products - most notorious among them, external monitors. “Why,” I’ve thought on countless trips to B&H, “can’t I just hook my phone up to my camera, instead of dropping $500 on a thicker, heavier monitor that doesn’t last as long and needs its own set of batteries?”
    Well it took a few years, but finally, someone built a smartphone that can pull double-duty as a monitor. Not only that: it also serves as a standalone studio to send 4K footage over 5G … live. The Sony Xperia Pro 5G is the long-awaited companion to the Xperia 1ii I reviewed last summer. I’ve just wrapped up ten days testing it to see if it lives up to its heart-stopping price tag; join me for MrMobile’s Sony Xperia Pro 5G Review!

      You know what makes me angry about this? the HDMI port only exists here because of lack of proper integration of the full USB-C spec, because USB-C *is a video port*
      It's more so the USB-C standard used on phones is incapable of acting in this manner, mostly down to software and hardware. nothing is stopping that single wire from charging, broadcasting video, receiving video and anything else you need that cable to do.

    Finally, someone did this review of the Xperia Pro! I was waiting for this since the release of the Sony Xperia 1 II. This is honestly more exciting for me than the iPhone 12 Pro Max and Samsungʼs Galaxy S21 Ultra-and I am a huge Samsung fan myself. LOL
    I love how Sony considered overall functionality for most of todayʼs tech. users with this phone. It will find great use if utilized right especially with vloggers.
    Thank you for doing this, man! I loved the whole review you did here as it was honest and clear about the pros and cons. It is worth its price, to be honest with you. I just hope that Sony would market it a lot more since it really is a premium phone both in form and function.
    Great job, as always. God bless you man!

    Watching a Mr. Mobile video is like using an iPhone. Everything just fits, is seamless and works. There are little touches that make all the difference, and it's as beautiful to look at as it is to consume. For example, the little marker in the corner stating that the sponsor message is playing is such a nice touch. And hell, I appreciate the videos so much I'll gladly watch the sponsor message even as a youtube premium member. Because any small giveback that costs me nothing but 30 seconds is something I'll happily give to someone who's put the care and thought into the videos in this manner. And I LOVE how the subject of the video is never the sponsor. So we know we can TRUST Michael's content. Unlike some other channels that I will not mention......

    Great video as always,
    I agree that its priced a bit terribly,
    But I believe that phones like this should exist, streaming is becoming one of the biggest forms of entertainment, so a phone which focuses on using 5G and professional cameras to film 4k video sounds great! But this wasn't made for the general public, or most streamers, this is made for the professionals, although phones like this excite me and I cant wait to see what Sony can do next with this technology!
    And have a great day, Michael Fisher!

    The problem is that companies like Samsung and Apple have convinced us the "Pro" just means more mega pixels or more memory or an additional camera. This is what a real professional phone looks like. It doesn't have a true competitor. And compared to a RED Camera display which costs close to $3k, this xperia is reasonably priced believe it or not.

    Man, kudos to this review for keeping it super honest and I totally agree.
    The problem with that price range really puts it at odds with other dedicated pro equipments like the atomos monitors which usually costs less than half of the phone with more display features like peaking, false color, and recording externally with higher bitrate & better codecs. None of which the Xperia does. And the problem with HDMI ports being finicky is an age old tale with the tech tbh, since HDMI in whatever form (normal, mini, or micro) doesn’t have a securing mechanism unlike SDI ports. Which is why many filmmakers support the shift in mirrorless cameras like Panasonic’s pro video camera, the S1H.
    The way I see it, the pricing’s really far from the reach of your average content creator to make the whole investment to the Sony system feasible. It feels like a case of either jumping in without proper outreach to potential demographics like content creators, streamers, and their platforms, or doing so when the technology infrastructure is not there yet.
    That being said, I recall Sony striking an exclusive deal with The Associated Press to have their journalist exclusively use the Sony Alpha mirrorless line for both stills and motion pictures. In that sense, maybe that’s the target market Sony is aiming for, especially when launching the Xperia together with the flagship A1 which is Sony’s cream of the crop, jack of all trades mirrorless line that supposedly can do it all now
