I'm sure this will interest our resident expert @viridis and possibly some others.

That works. Thanks @MI5

Those phones look great @Bambino. I expect they will be out of my price range though. I shall stick with my Note 8

Well I am quite looking forwards to seeing (read as playing) one to compare to the X1 which I currently use, lots of info I've still got to read up on regarding some features and stuff but yeah they look proper nice.. especially that Xperia Pro with it's very unique hdmi input, yes INPUT allowing direct connection to such equipment as cameras, video recording equipment and.. err drones 😉.
Only problem there is that I'm not sure what markets are getting the pro and can't find out either as the Sony mobile forum is on limp home mode until the transition to the new community is complete. So unlike before I couldn't put up one of my usual "this is.... " Posts as I got no info nor press media images, except the stuff that went into the main Sony electronics site earlier.

I can never tell with Sony which is an old or a new model these days... can't they be like everyone and stick to a numbered/lettered order

@Anonymous they are now numbered similar to the camera range. Keeps everything nice and.. err simple.

Myself I think they should've just kept the Z line and not caused irreparable brand confusion with the Z3-Z5-X-XZ sequece

So many world's firsts I've forgot many.
First: hi Res audio, ip68 rating 4k display, 4k HDR display, 4k oled, 4k HDR oled, 4k HDR recording, gigabit download speed, super slow motion, realtime 3D imaging, eye focus, and I think this new one has highest auto focus at burst mode of 20fps focus using the AF/AE tracking feature.
I'm sure there's more tbh

And so many firsts that I would never ever need or use

Yet many are implemented into phones, nowadays most phones have hi Res audio, ip68 waterproofing, and nearly all have the camera features as they use Sony sensors.
In fact, some might suggest that the reason Sony phones continue, is because they are worth more in tend of millions
of sensor advertisement and sales, than handset sales alone...
