Xperia 1 Pro may cost $200-300 more than vanila Xperia 1 II

This year Sony announced an Xperia 1 Pro variant of its flagship that bears the strange Xperia 1 II name. We knew it would be more expensive than the vanilla version. How much pricier? According to an insider, it will cost $200~300 more.

In the United States, the price of the standard version isn't known yet. However, it costs EUR 1,200 in Europe, while the Canadian price seems to be CAD 1,200. So, it's natural to point out that the US will follow its North-American fellow with a price tag around USD 1,200.

The Xperia 1 Pro will be available only in select countries. The handset includes wired HDMI connection so it can serve as a screen. It has a 4K OLED screen, so it's a good use for this panel. The vanilla variant, however, provides a wireless connection.

Furthermore, the Pro boasts four 5G mmWave antennas so it can broadcast live with very high video quality. According to official info, the uploads can reach 5Gbps assuming a clear view to the cell tower. The vanilla model, in counterpart, only has sub-6GHz 5G. It offers better coverage, but it's slower.

The Pro is also more resistant since has a more rugged case. Last but not least, it includes a configurable physical which can be set to different functions.
