The next Sony Xperia phone might come with a pretty neat camera feature. This thing has a rotating ring around the lenses that can control zoom, aperture, and focus. It could be similar to the Xperia Pro-I's cameras but with the extra twisty ring instead of just buttons.

This ring will let you choose between messing with zoom, aperture, or focus without digging through menus.

Since the Pro users can already change how open their primary camera is; this new phone will also take the variable zoom from the Xperia 1 series that can go between different lengths.

Rotating Camera Ring for Sony Xperia Pro

Numerous leaks say some doubt if Sony can think up a smooth way to change how open and closed the camera lens is on the new Xperia Pro phone.

The idea of a ring to control it is too much work, considering the lens is thought to change between letting in a lot and a little light.

Sony used to have just a two-step button to use for photos, like on older phones when real controls were more common, but nothing as tricky as this ring idea.

What's intriguing is the ring may do more than control the cameras inside the Xperia Pro. It could also handle Sony's separate cameras that connect to the phone, giving it extra uses.

Folk figures the next Xperia Pro phone, the Xperia Pro-II, may come out next year as an improvement on the first Pro phone. It could make all three rear cameras better. While some gossip says the Xperia 1 VI and 5 VI will be at an event in March, the word is the Pro-II may tag along there, too, or get its show later.

We'll likely get more clues closer to when it launches.

According to another source, the rumored Xperia Pro-II that may appear next to the 1 V or the 1 VI had people talking about it having a "manual focus and zoom style."

Some believed it could have a clicky wheel like a lens going around the wide and far cameras. But the post from China was hard to understand perfectly since we don't always get translations right from other languages.

This future phone may introduce a new lens with an adjustable opening, but it might not be as smooth because the motor and battery would be too heavy to control the hole as nicely as possible.

It is anticipated that the future Sony Xperia Pro-II will launch in the upcoming year, which would end the device's three-year lifespan. More specific information will come to light as the launch date draws near.

About the Sony Xperia Experience

The Sony Xperia promised top-notch connectivity and stability, using Smart Connectivity and Network Visualizer-the screen share allowed for different uses, like making videos and conferences.

Adjusting the settings in the Device Connection area made it work. Upgrades for professional phones included streaming live video through the screen share and new graphs for sounds.

Quick charging and Battery Care helped the battery last, while NFC, with one touch, made hooking up to cameras simple. DSEE Ultimate boosted audio quality, and updates for the pro models added features. Xperia Transfer 2, though not made anymore, easily moved info from older devices. It worked differently for transferring and was compatible with different Xperia and Android phones.
