Are you an Alpha owner? Sony offers you a $500 VISA prepaid card with the purchase of its XPERIA PRO 5G. The offer is relevant for owners of Sony’s Alpha cameras and lenses, camcorders, and the Cinema Line cameras.

Xperia Pro

The Xperia Pro was designed as a workflow solution, with dedicated HDMI input and 5G connectivity to facilitate and enhance on-location workflows. Xperia Pro is the world’s first smartphone with a dedicated HDMI input – allowing users to boost their workflow by connecting the device to an Alpha camera or any other HDMI input equipped camera to enable a 5G data link to broadcast video in real-time. Using compatible third-party live streaming applications,  Xperia Pro can stream video content from a camera that is connected to the HDMI input to an RTMP server or directly to popular social media platforms.

6.5-inch 4K OLED monitor

The Xperia Pro’s HDMI input can also transform the smartphone into a high-quality 6.5-inch 4K OLED monitor through the preinstalled External Monitor host application software. The External Monitor feature features a screen lock function, screen brightness adjustment, zoom capabilities, adjustable grid lines, and more.

Designed by Sony’s Digital Cinema Camera engineers

Final thoughts

Although it sounds like a pretty decent offer, which it does, this smartphone is very costly (price: $2,500). At a much lower price, you can purchase a very capable external monitors, like the Atomos Ninja V which integrates fantastic with Sony’s Alpha and Cinema Line cameras, and also allows the privilege of shooting RAW (ProRes RAW), and moreover, costs a fraction of the Xperia Pro price. It’s not a smartphone though 🙂
