Anyone seeking a fantastic handset with amazing photographic equipment should definitely consider purchasing the Sony Xperia PRO-I smartphone, which has recently dropped to its lowest price ever on Amazon (US). Just as the price of the Sony Xperia PRO-I was reduced to this new enticing level, a well-known Xperia leaker began speculating about the next Xperia PRO-I Mark 2 device.
The fantastic Sony Xperia PRO-I smartphone is presently available on Amazon (and Sony US) for US$999.99, which is the lowest price ever. For the uninitiated, the reason Sony and its Xperia series have almost completely disappeared from smartphone sales charts is that they are asking almost US$1,000 for a 2021 phone. The Xperia PRO-I was created by a firm that is known globally for its photographic expertise for consumers ready to pay top dollar for a phone with a 1-inch image sensor, not to compete with best-sellers from Samsung and Apple. Furthermore, it's important to keep in mind that the Sony Xperia PRO-I had a truly eye-watering initial price of US$1,799.99.

Although there have been rumors that the Sony Xperia PRO-I 2 (or Mark 2) is on the way, it appears that this price reduction is currently only available to US users. It seems plausible that the Xperia PRO-I price in important regions like the UK would also be reduced if Sony was poised to release a successor. The Xperia PRO-I has previously come close to this US$999.99 threshold, but has quickly risen to US$1,099.99 or higher subsequently, according to CamelCamelCamel. This is the lowest price ever noted on that price-checking website, so it probably won't stay for long.

Sony’s new, small Xperia 5 V is projected to rival other Xperia flagship smartphones in terms of RAM by 2023.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited sequel, which may wind up being simply known as the Xperia PRO-I 2 (and hopefully not the potentially confusing PRO-I II), has been the subject of several leaks from ZACKBUKS. Given the amazing specifications of the 2021 Xperia PRO-I, the tipster lists "variable aperture 1-inch main camera + full-focal light variable telephoto + 4K60 front + CineVlog 4K" as features expected to be included. The most obvious essential improvements for a 2023 Xperia PRO-I model would seem to be 16 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, paired with professional-grade photography software and an astounding pricing point.
