Sony recently announced that it will launch a “Pro” version of its flagship series alongside the Xperia 1 II. Generally, the higher variant offers more features or higher spec components, but are also priced higher as well. However, reports suggest that the Sony Xperia Pro may be priced nearly $200-$300 more than the base Xperia 1 II.
As of right now, the price for the base Xperia is unknown in the US, however, the European pricing is 1,200 EUR while the Canadian price is likely to be around 1,200 CAD as well. Thus the base price for the Xperia 1 II is also likely to be just around 1,200 US Dollars or just under it. The latest Sony flagship series will only be available in certain countries or regions, including the US, Europe, and others, excluding Japan.

Furthermore, it is being marketed more as a supplementing tool alongside the new Professional grade Sony Alpha camera owners. The smartphone perfectly pairs with the camera and also helps in getting the perfect shots. The smartphone can be connected to the Sony Alpha via an HDMI connection so it can serve as a screen, outputting on the handset’s 4K OLED display.
The Sony Xperia Pro will also feature 5G mmWave antennas, making them 5G enabled. This will allow the smartphone to broadcast live at high video quality (reaching up to 5Gbps under perfect conditions). Although the base variant only arrives with a sub-6GHz 5G networking support, which has better coverage but slower speeds overall. The Sony Xperia 1 II is expected to launch in the late Spring of 2020, with the Pro variant following soon after.
