Sony Xperia Pro expected to cost $200-300 more than the vanilla Xperia 1 II

-
Sony announced a "Pro" version of its flagship alongside the Xperia 1 II and we knew it would be pricier from the get go. How much pricier? $200-$300 more, according to insider info.

The US price of the vanilla phone isn't known yet, but in Europe it's EUR1,200 and the Canadian price seems to be CAD1,200. So, the base price for the Xperia 1 II in the US should be USD1,200 or kist under that less.


The phone will be available only in select countries (e.g. the US, but not Japan). It is positioned more as something as Professional tool Sony Alpha camera ownerss. It has a wired HDMI connection so it can serve as a screen (putting that beautiful 4K OLED to good use), instead of the wireless connection offered by the vanilla Xperia 1 II.
It also features four 5G mmWave antennas so it can broadcast live at a very high video quality (uploads can reach 5Gbps, assuming a clear view to the cell tower). The vanilla model only has sub-6GHz 5G (which has much better coverage, but is slower).

There's more too, the Sony Xperia Pro has a more rugged case (on top of the usual IP65/68 dust and water resistance). A configurable button is available, a quick way to launch select apps.

The Xperia 1 II should launch in late Spring, the Pro model shouldn't be far behind.

The iPhone has improved a lot over the years, especially when it comes to the camera.  Just look at the iPhone 11 Pro . That bad boy comes complete with a triple rear camera setup (each of which are 12-megapixels) and a telephoto lens. Your pictures have never looked better.  But even though Apple has upped the ante in terms of hardware, it's highly unlikely you'll upload a picture to social media without slightly altering at least some part of it.  Luckily, there are some great alternatives to settling for those basic Instagram filters or sticking to the built-in camera tools. Because every single one of us needs all the "likes" we can get. And because #nofilter is no longer a thing.  Here are six of the best iPhone photo-editing apps to d

Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready

  In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily , Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either. While both share the same parent company in Alphabet, these are two very different companies. In addition, as Verily noted in a statement it provided almost three hours after Trump made the announcement, this site isn’t quite ready yet. “Verily is developing a tool to help triage individuals for COVID-19 testing. We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more
