Information that I am developing “Xperia Pro-G” with Sony SD8Gen2 | Smartphone roundup

Speaking of Sony’s next Xperia model, the 2022 version of the new Xperia Pro.

It is not known whether it will be a model that focuses on camera functions like the previous model Xperia Pro-I, or whether it will be a “Pro model” specializing in a different genre, but there are rumors that it will be announced officially around. November.

Meanwhile, some interesting information related to the next Xperia Pro was posted on Weibo.

Did Sony’s “Xperia Pro-G” gaming smartphone exist?

for example,SonyThe public version of the gaming solution he previously worked on: X PRO-G can use the dual cameras Xiaolong 8 Gen2 + IMX870 & IMX758. 12Mp/120fps full focus link hardware level, 12Mp analog hardware level 16/24/35/70mm 4 focal lengths. It is important to make room for cooling, motherboards and batteries.
However, Sony Semiconductor does not separate the 5-7-9, so the specific name of the Sensor is variable. It is called 7 in research and development and 9 in mass production. Alternatively, you could name the public version 7 and the custom version 5.

Japanese translation by Google Translate

I don’t know how accurate the translation is, and there are some unnatural parts, but I don’t want to misunderstand the meaning with my own translation, so I dare to post the Japanese translation from Google Translate as it is.

Anyway,At least it is certain that Sony is considering a gaming smartphone with Snapdragon 8 Gen2pattern.

It is also interesting that the model number of the specific camera sensor is mentioned.

On the other hand, as far as this translation is concerned, it says “Sony was working on it before”, so this part is “past tense”.

In other words, Sony has developed or is considering developing a gaming smartphone, Xperia Pro-G, which included SDgen2, so it’s not done yet.

By the way, around this summer, I saw information that the next Xperia Pro model will be announced by the end of the year, but it may be released next year.

This may have been the canceled “Xperia gaming” Pro model.
