Sony Xperia Pro-I II may include two 1-inch camera sensors

It has been about a year and a half since the Sony Xperia Pro-I handset arrived. It’s about time for the second-gen model to show itself. Well, the first rumors regarding the device just surfaced. According to this info, the Sony Xperia Pro-I II could include two 1-inch camera sensors.

The Sony Xperia Pro-I II may end up including two 1-inch camera sensors

So, what’s going on? Well, a sketch of the Sony Xperia Pro I II surfaced, along with some concept renders based on that sketch. We cannot confirm this sketch is valid, though, so take this info with a grain of salt.

As you can see in the sketch, there are two large camera sensors on the back. The original Sony Xperia Pro-I did have a 1-inch camera on the back, but that camera was not made for smartphones.

Today, we have the Sony IMX989 1-inch camera sensor, specifically made for smartphones. The rumors claim that the Sony Xperia Pro-I II will include two 1-inch camera sensors. This is just a wild rumor at this point.

Will Sony use two IMX989 sensors, or…?

Sony could opt to include two IMX989 units here, or something else entirely. The company actually created a brand new camera sensor for the Xperia 1 V, so we wouldn’t be surprised if something else ends up being used in the Xperia Pro-I II.

Now, the rumors also claim that the phone will be equipped with a “double-layer transistor stacked pixel sensor”. Sony could actually utilize the largest sensor(s) to date in this phone. We’ll have to wait and see.

You can check out the renders based on the sketch above in the gallery that follows. These are not leaked renders or anything of the sort, so keep that in mind.

We still don’t know when will this phone launch. If Sony intends to stay in line with the Xperia Pro-I launch timeframe, however, you can expect it to arrive in October. The first-gen model launched on October 26, 2021.
