[Nishikawa Kazuhisa's irregular column] How is the ability of the 1 -type sensor?Approaching the charm of "Xperia Pro -I" in the photo -centered review -PC Watch

Although it is a type 1 sensor, the number of effective pixels is 12 million pixels

　Speaking of type 1 sensor, the Leitz Phone 1 of Leikas Maho, which I reviewed earlier, comes to my mind first.

[Nishikawa Kazuhisa's irregular column] Leikas Maho equipped with a large 1 inch, about 20.2 million pixels!"Leitz Phone 1"

　This is based on an ultra -wide -angle lens with a focal length of 19 mm, which is 20.2 million pixels/f1.9/, with a wide -angle 24mm and a telephoto 48mm.The operability of the camera was difficult, but if it hits, it hits a picture that does not seem to be a smartphone.

　On the other hand, the Xperia Pro-I introduced this time is a type 1 sensor, but the effective number of pixels is 12 million pixels.This is not equipped with a 12 -megapixel sensor, but it is used to crop the total number of pixels of 21 million pixels and use only 12 million pixels.

　The story around here is described in detail in "Sony's super high-end smartphone" Xperia Pro-I "Actual Photo Review", so if you are interested, please see it.It seems that it is actually equivalent to 12 million paintings of 1/1.3 type.The iPhone 13 Pro, Xperia 1 III, etc. are around 1/1.7 type, so it must still be big.

　It is said that the lens miniaturized, real -time tracking performance, and continuous shooting performance are not used because they do not use all pixels.Whether this can be called a type 1 sensor camera is another discussion, and if it looks good, everything is OK.

　The actual machine borrowed this time is a prototype, and it is not possible to use the SIM or benchmark testing, but this is only a photo taken with Xperia Pro-I.The main specifications are as follows.

　As you can see from the specifications, many parts, such as SoC, memory, storage, various interfaces, and SIMs, are the same as Xperia 1 III (SIM rock -free version).The main differences are size/weight, camera, and price.This looks like this if you pull out only here.

　In other words, the decisive difference is the camera, which is slightly larger and expensive.The camera has the same ultra -wide angle as the front, and the telephoto has different focal lengths and mechanisms (Xperia 1 III is 70mm and 105mm).As a result, the overwhelming difference is a wide -angle type 1 sensor as the feature of this unit.

　Although the price is expensive, for example, the iPhone 13 Pro Max/1TB model is almost the same.Sometimes it is even higher if it is a foldable that has gradually appeared recently.It must be a high end, but this unit is not particularly expensive.

前面(左がXperia PRO-1、右がXperia 1 II)。分かりにくいがパネル上中央より左寄りに前面カメラを備える。どちらも輝度50%の場合、経年劣化かもしれないが、Xperia 1 IIの方が気持ち暗い感じだ背面(同)。Xperia PRO-Iはマットブラックなので指紋跡が目立たない。またカメラ部分が圧巻。机などに置いたときの座りもよい全体的に気持ちXperia PRO-Iの方が大きく厚みもある(左がXperia 1 II、右がXperia PRO-1)

　As you can see from the comparison photo with Xperia 1 II, the size is almost the same.However, if you actually hold it, the difference between thickness and weight is large, and it feels easier to hold Xperia 1 II than numbers.

　The front has a built -in front camera on the left side of the center of the panel.The back is matte black and the fingerprint marks are not noticeable.A group of cameras is installed in the upper center.Xperia 1 II/III was rattled when placed on a desk because the camera was on the left, but this unit is good to sit without such a thing.

　The 6.5 -inch 1,640 x 3,840 dot OLEDs supports HDR and has a refresh rate of 120Hz.HDR/BT.2020/10bit color -compatible creator mode is also installed.

　The brightness, contrast, color development, and viewing angle are not complaining.It is a very beautiful and obedient panel.In addition, the aspect ratio of 21: 9 is large and easy to see on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

右側面に音量ボタン、電源ボタン(指紋認証センサー搭載)、ショートカットキー、シャッターボタン。下側面にUSB 3.1 Type-C左側面にSIMカードスロットとストラップホール。上側面に3.5mmジャックNano SIMカードスロットは爪でちょっとひっかけると外れ、イジェクトピンは不要。上がSIM2、下がSIM1。microSDカードはSIM2と排他実測で211g。200gを超えるためスマホとしては重い方となる

　There is a volume button on the right side, a power button (equipped with a fingerprint authentication sensor), a shortcut key, a shutter button, and a USB Type-C on the lower side.SIM card slot and strap hole are placed on the left side and 3.5mm jack on the upper side.

　The SIM card slot is a mechanism that comes off if it is caught a little with a nail, and does not require egectopin.The top is SIM2, the bottom is SIM1, and the microSD card is exclusive to SIM2.

　I didn't feel the fever at all within the test range.There may be no processing to apply loads, such as the season and benchmark test.

　The sound was written in Xperia 1 III, but it is different from Xperia 1 II.Both speakers/3.5mm jacks are powerful, and the linearity is good.
