Last year, Sony unveiled the Sony Xperia 1 II, Xperia 10 II, and Xperia Pro smartphones in February. While the other two devices were made available for purchase in different markets a few months later, but the company did not begin the sales of the Xperia Pro. Fresh information shared by Xperia Blog reveals that the Japanese tech giant could now be gearing up to release the Xperia Pro in the market.
While the Xperia Pro carried specs similar to the Xperia I II, it boasted topnotch videography and photography features for professionals. The handset was intended to arrive only in the US, but the company has been silent on its availability. However, it appears that the device will be heading to the US soon as its firmware has emerged on Sony’s public servers.
The Xperia Pro’s (XQ-AQ62) firmware with build number 58.0.A.9.116 has been spotted. It is based on Android 10 OS and includes Android security patches for September 2020. Now that the firmware has appeared, it is likely that Sony will begin with the pre-orders of the Xperia Pro in the coming weeks.
