Combining this feature with the ultra-fast speeds of 5G, Xperia PRO users can achieve fast, seamless, and professional-looking streams without needing more than just a phone and camera. Users will also be able to transfer files by using a USB cable and the files can be automatically transferred to an FTP server.

As for use with an external monitor, the Xperia PRO houses a 6.5-inch 4K OLED screen which makes it an ideal way to view videos and images. Additionally, the external monitor feature also offers a couple of extra features including a screen lock function, brightness adjustment, zoom capabilities, adjustable grid lines, and more.

5G speeds are delivered via the 360-degree antenna that covers all four sides of the device. This allows it to capture high-band frequency 5G mmWave signals for consistent high speeds no matter how the user holds the phone.

The cameras boast of Zeiss-quality lenses specifically tuned or the Xperia PRO. Around the front is a single 8-megapixel camera capable of HDR photos, SteadyShot, and more.
