Whereas the rival Galaxy Z Fold3 may be newer, its camera hardware is somewhat pedestrian. Fold the Mate X2, and the exterior screen is a 21:9 aspect ratio, 6.45-inch OLED panel, also sporting a 90 Hz refresh rate. When unfolded, the huge interior OLED screen measures 8 inches and benefits from a 90Hz refresh rate and features a resolution of 2480 x 2200 - 413 pixels per inch (PPI). In the case of the Mate X2, its lack of Google Services meant few would actually make the leap and buy one, but this is still one mightily impressive camera phone. What do the Huawei Mate X2 and Sony Xperia Pro have in common, aside from being released in 2021 and costing an arm, leg, and half your soul? Well, they're both a technical tour de force, yet both were destined to be sales flops. In full: Sony Xperia Pro review (opens in new tab) It's a handset we are very glad exists, even if we wouldn't really recommend you actually splash the cash and buy one. Sony has long targeted the imaging enthusiast/creative pro audience with its flagship camera phones, but the Xperia Pro was its most hardcore offering. And for that market, it excelled where no other phone could offer such versatility. The Xperia Pro was simply too focussed at professional videographers needing a multi-purpose work tool. Its eye-watering $2,499 / £2,299 launch price made that prospect incredibly difficult to justify. It’s also an Android smartphone that’ll run your camera companion apps like a champ, be they made by Canon, Sony or another camera maker.īut the Xperia Pro was never going to find many buyers who would use it their personal smartphone 'daily driver'. If you fall into this rather small market subset, the Pro proved to be really handy as a field monitor and a 5G hotspot. The standout feature of the Xperia Pro is that it was designed to be a two-in-one smartphone and field monitor for videographers.
