Sony may be working on a new Xperia Pro smartphone and it may launch soon, as per a tipster. This smartphone could be the successor of the Sony Xperia Pro-I that was launched in October last year. The camera-centric handset is tipped to come equipped with three 48-megapixel sensors, however, they could have different sensor size and model number. The news comes as Sony's Xperia announced it is holding an online event on September 12 to unveil a new product aimed at professional gamers.

As per a post by a tipster on Weibo, (via GSMArena), the rumoured Sony Xperia Pro smartphone could come with three 48-megapixel sensors.
