The Sony Xperia Pro is the $2,500 phone videographers have been clamoring for

Sony wants to make its smartphones a little more useful for creative professionals. The company may not make the best-selling (or the best) phones out there, but it is among the best in other areas -- one of those being its video and photo tech. Now, the company is finally launching the previously announced Xperia Pro -- which integrates with its video equipment for a heightened professional workflow.

The device offers both hardware and software features that enable integration with Sony equipment, with perhaps the most immediately obvious feature being the HDMI input. This allows the Xperia Pro to act as a large, high-quality monitor for Sony cameras.

New Fairphone 3 Plus shows modular phones can break the endless upgrade cycle

Introducing Fairphone 3+ | A milestone for fairer electronics | Fairphone

Fairphone continues to work towards its goal of establishing a viable market for what it calls ethical phones, and it’s doing so with an innovative modular smartphone program that helps owners of the previous Fairphone model feel compelled to upgrade to the latest one, just to get a basic hardware update. The Fairphone 3 Plus is an upgraded version of the existing Fairphone 3 with better cameras and updated software, and those upgraded camera sensors are also available separately, ready for use on the older Fairphone 3.

Realme’s high-spec X3 SuperZoom phone is an incredible value for the money

Prolific smartphone newcomer Realme’s new phone is the X3 SuperZoom, and as you can tell from the name, the company is keen to muscle in on a trend toward cameras with impressive periscope zoom features. Impressive zoom isn’t the only flagship feature on the X3 SuperZoom. It’s packed full of tech, and all for the very reasonable price of 480 British pounds, or around $590.

The design is similar to the Realme X50 Pro, and a little like the Realme X2 Pro, with a multiple-lens camera located in the top left of the rear panel. As seen here in a color called Arctic White, it takes on the cool, frosted look we’ve seen on the OnePlus 8 and the Huawei P40 Pro already this year. The main camera has 64 megapixels and can shoot at up to 60x zoom. Realme says this is a hybrid zoom, rather than a solely digital zoom, and it can also shoot at 2x, 5x, and 10x using quick-access buttons in the camera app.
