Wanna bet?! ;) It has been confirmed and it will come out soon. The LT29 hayabusa is real!

The LT29 hayabusa is real!

+1 :)
[Xperia Z General] K900:
I can confirm the device exists and is to be released in 2012.
[Xperia Z General] shmoejoe:
Well I don't see how it won't be a real phone...

But I think it will indeed be like the Arc > Arc S situation, and it will be a sort of higher spec Xperia S.

The specs according to the rumors make it out to be that in my opinion...
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
I will buy Hayabusa if its specs will be similar to Xperia S and design like our xperia aRc with some changes..

from xperia PLAY
[Xperia Z General] shmoejoe:
It would make perfect sense in my opinion.

Shame though (if those pics above are correct) that they may ditch the light bar. I was hoping they would hold on to it, because I truly love that feature :-). The S4 with that rumored arc form would appease the spec junkies and arc fans, and the S will appease the light bar monolith phone people, so everyone's happy :-P.
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
I doubt this very much. Phones can be registered just as backup incase things go wrong saleswise but might never get released to manufacturing.

I promise you it is real! :)

ICS on launch date? Sweet!
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
That PDF is legit. Marketing divisions get them before launch, but this is pretty incredible how the whole press got leaked.

Anyways, Hayabusa will be slightly different in terms of design. It won't be full white like the GX. I personally like the GX more in terms of looks though.

It's not for international yet. Only Japan gets first dibs.
[Xperia Z General] hasher87:
To be honest, im actually more excited how Sony could come up with their own brand of ICS, after a good turn up by Samsung GS3 on their ICS features (except the phone design though)

Sony Vietnam unveils the Sony Xperia GS and SX:

[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
In Germany it is actually €400 (started at €450). On the other hand, it will have hard time competing with Galaxy Nexus which now sells for €340.

I agree, it is hardly a price for flagship device. But it actually makes sense as a 4.3" midrange modell between 4" and 4.6".
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
I'm not interested in your analysis. I'm talking about a company that announces it's flagship only to release another 3 months down the line.

You say that's the way it is. For who exactly, Samsung, Apple, HTC, LG, Huawei, or Motorola.

Who else has ever done that to call it the norm.

Sony fanboys excusing what should be inexcusable. That's all I got from you post.

As for pricing, the Xperia S's recommended retail price is £459 as compared with £479 for the HTC one x.

The reason the Xperia S can be bought for much less is because the major retailers refused to stock it at that price. The poor sales of a lot of the phones released by Sony Ericsson last year really burnt them. Especially the xperia play.

The xperia s is having to survive against the backdrop of all that.

You guys need to analyze things from a more down to earth perspective and do away with all these lofty cloudy ideas and explanations.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
You remind me about an annoying guy from X10 forum :D
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Sony actually never said that it is their flagship device. According to their press release, it was just a "First smartphone from the new Xperia NXT series – next generation smartphones from Sony".

And not 3 months, more like 7. Xperia S was announced 9 January, 2012. And international version of GX won't be with us before end of summer.
[Xperia Z General] alsaqr:
IMO

GX reminds me of a Samsung like my friend says

SX looks lame

Xperia S looks way better in design

only nice thing about GX is the LTE

it kind of looks like a thinner Acro HD

Sony should just produce one high end device once a year

and not a phone every three months

anyways

our opinion wont matter

peace
[Xperia Z General] Lucasm93:
I prefer the GX design on the other hand.

I like the Xperia S, but the GX seems nicer.

I just hope it's not a replay of the S. Coming late to the game.

It will probably release a couple of months before Jellybean, the S4 Pro and the new A15 chips..
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
:( Apologies, but looks like Sony went with LT29i by using GX's build. There won't be any difference in cosmetic now (no chromium on the sides). So whatever you see on the GX is what you get. Mint though will be slightly different material as usual.

There will be LT29a and LT30a variations too, just saw it in EMMA. Don't ask me the details as I don't have what the 'a' version would bring.

They actually did in one of the videos, from one of Sony's exec's. However, he said "our 'current' flagship".

I don't see a reason why they have to put up with only 1 flagship. It's their choice, and they can do anything they want really...
[Xperia Z General] GTBlackIce:
So... does this mean the international version would not have the chrome lines as we see now? Sorry kinda confused when you mention "whatever you see on the GX is what you get" after that.

And does anyone know what's the confirmed ppi? Is it 319? :confused:

Would be a very late release if indeed the international version is be available in Sept and onwards.... :(
[Xperia Z General] mzr7:
You know guys what I am thinking now is Sony is releasing every phone they had in development with Ericsson maybe to minimize losses or part of a deal in the buyout who knows else this seems very stupid I mean who will buy the ion now? It's all very haphazard 3 flagships in an year I'm counting lt30 too. I wonder what will happen now in three coming years now that Sony has cut down its mobile development to market time in half.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Guys,

Is there any official words from SONY regarding international release?

If its July for Japan, I assume it will reach masses by Sep-Oct.

And by that time we can see Sony's next flagship :)

So I think people can go for Xperia S instead of waiting so long !!!

What say???

from xperia PLAY
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
@unknown13x

Can you tell us whether it would be the XPERIA or SONY logo that will illuminate in the International version ? :)
[Xperia Z General] mzr7:
Sony logo(as with most Sony devices now frames tvs etc) . Xperia will be at the top where docomo logo is right noe
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
I'm not sure if it'll illuminate the bottom on the international version. Will try to find out, though I don't see why the international version wouldn't.

Incorrect, the Xperia will be at the bottom, and the Sony logo will be at the top :)

Also, I don't know why people are still skeptic on whether it has microSD slot or not, I've said it quite a few times that it does have one.

I don't really know about DPI, but since it's 4.6 inches, it'll be the exact same as the Ion.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
@unknown13x

Any faint idea about global release dates??? :)
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
Well, I'll just this out, what event is happening at Singapore next month? That's the most likely date for Sony to announce it :D
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Event in Singapore, I cant think of anything spl other than CommunicAsia happening from Sony!!! :)
[Xperia Z General] a4rocks:
More than 1 flagship phone per year is not the ideal strategy, especially for the buyers of the first flagship like the XPERIA S. I must say I prefer the design of the S than my Arc S because of the outward convex curve. Makes it easier to hold even if it makes the device slightly thicker. The Arc S was certainly nice but not as nice to hold as the S itself. And since the specs of the Hayabusa is quite similar to the S, I will consider myself making a pretty good buy :)
[Xperia Z General] mzr7:
Really I thought the international version was there too the one with xperia rather than docomo logo in the videos ah well my bad then
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
Might want to wait until the announcement, there might be some surprises :D
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
unkown13x has mentioned before that the international version of the GX will look slightly different. Mainly the chrome lines of the Hayabusa/LT29i would look more like the once on the Xperia Arc (chrome line/frame is "thicker"). But now it seems that Hayabusa will look exactly like the GX (except Sony and Xperia logo), which means it will have the same small chrome frame.

Regarding announcement and availability: CummunicAsia (19th June) could be the place to announce the international version (along with some midrange devices) with an availability in July.

If you look at the last quarter report you'll see that Sony is not doing well. Releasing new devices in September wouldn't have an (big) impact on the Q3 sales and assuming that the Q4 sales (due the holiday season) are the best I would highly expect an availability in the first half of Q3, so the sales could have an impact on the the Q3 earning reports. And Sony also knows and has to consider that Apple is going to release the next Iphone this fall (September/October) and that Samsung will be releasing another Android flagship device parallel to the Iphone.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

The hardware of the GX is pretty awesome (no complains there), but what about the software, any "special" featured you would like to share? I've read somewhere Sony has its own Siri/S-Voice and some other goodies which will come with the GX/Hayabusa. Any comments?
[Xperia Z General] hanybanoub:
It's true the V is def the top dog.
[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
Considering V does not have the greenball and are not inside the leak map

This definitely the 1st true sony device.

But the T is build by Q inside Mi6 secret bunker
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
That last line is the exact reason I'm doubting these 2

I really can't decide between T & V. Which would you choose and why?
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
Do you have any info on their release dates here in the USA? I am interested in the unlocked versions not the AT&T one.
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
I'll ask, but I don't think I will get that information
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

There are reports over on Xperia Blog that the TX will indeed have the same S4 processor as the T and that was only a mistake. Apparently, the white paper has been updated. You can download the new one HERE. :D
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
I would go for V! Why?

Pro:

1. Better display - Bravia Engine 2 and crisper due higher ppi 720p @ 4,3"

2. Better interaction with the device/display because of the smaller 4,3" display. You can reach nearly all corners of the display with your thumb . And the power button is positioned thumb friendlier.

3. Better sound - Clear Audio +

4. Dustproof (IP5X) and Water resistant (IPX5/7)

5. Better Bluetooth radio (BT 4.0. Xperia T has just 3.1)

6. Nicer looking, especially in white

7. It has LTE. Now LTE data plans are quite expensive (at least to expensive for a poor student :)) but it will get cheaper and when you use your device 2-3 years, you will still have a device which uses modern radios.

EDIT:

8. Xperia V has removable battery ( seen in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXP2hD8p5Lg#t=0m12s)

Con:

1. Only VGA frontcamera

2. No dedicated camera button

3. Smaller internal memory - 8GB but expandable with microSD cards

You see, Xperia Vendetta :laugh: is clearly the winner.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
With the UK only getting the T (not the V), and the difference over the S being minimal, I am quite happy to have owned the S since March and to hold on to see what is announced at CES and MWC in 2013.

Despite the issues with ICS, I am still very happy with it.

I suspect a few people will be relieved having purchased one of the new Sony devices earlier this year, while anyone who didn't has a fair choice to cover most needs.
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
My thoughts exactly, the only negative for me is the lack of camera button. Front camera is no use to me so resolution is no matter.

I wonder where it will see a release though!
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
I think I will be getting the T.

V has two major drawbacks: fiddly USB port cover and smaller battery. Smaller screen is unable to compensate as T is rated for 5 hours video playback, V only 4.

It looks like the Xperia T screen is rather different from others:

Xperia TX - 4.55" 10 finger multitouch.

Xperia V - 4.3" 10 finger multitouch.

Xperia T - 4.55" only 4 finger multitouch.

So it is clearly different. And the video playback is noticeably longer which could mean much better display efficiency. I wonder why Sony did not say a word about such a "innovation" provided there is one.

Could it be a "white magic" with in-cell touchscreen? As we know, in-cell touchscreen is quite difficult to support as the touch sensors operate in very difficult environment. This could explain why it supports only 4 fingers. Would be very interesting if someone could inquire Sony for more details.
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
I think the 4 fingers is a typo, because it should be the same screen as GX/TX.

EDIT:

The three stooges compared:

http://goo.gl/SGLnI
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
But why there is such a dramatic video playback time difference? Other times do not vary so much. Anyway, kind of funny such a company has problems to get their specifications straight.
[Xperia Z General] mrsatan:
Now the real question is will Sony get these phones out by the end of the year. Im sure a few select markets might receive it but the US wont until early next year I imagine.

The T is a nicely specced phone, but I am fairly happy with my Xperia S right now. Ive had it for roughly 4 months and its been good to me. Unless Sony gets it out quick enough so that the price will drop, I will probably get the next Nexus as long as it is not made by Samsung.
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
I don't know if this was said already but I'll mention it anyway.

The Xperia T and V will have Google Chrome preinstalled as the default browser according to the white papers. The TX won't apparently.

I am a little confused now....what exactly is the difference between the T and TX? Other than the battery and the CPU which apparently was a mistake and is now corrected on the white paper (they both run the same S4 chip).
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
I heard the TX is supposed to have LTE but I didn't see that anywhere on the white paper. This is according to a pocketnow video I just watched.
[Xperia Z General] zangetsu2188:

[Xperia Z General] LegibleEel:

[Xperia Z General] lokenok:
nope the tx is same as gx from docomo
[Xperia Z General] borgsta:
So many phones so little difference. I'd rather they released 3 phones that all had a clear purpose.
[Xperia Z General] Spectre51:
Pretty sure the Xperia T that is coming to AT&T will have LTE. Checking with my source at Sony. Would be crappy if it didn't.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
theres really NO point in choosing between T(Mint) and TX(GX), what i am having trouble is choosing those and the V.

i like the TX/T design more over the V, but the V does offer better specs.

what to do what to do?

but in the end i think ill just wait for the xperia nexus. :x and wait for the above phones to just drop the damn prices.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:

NO to Xperia mobile this year..
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
So....onto 2013 device news now? :p just kidding
[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
The different is mostly LTE.

Country like the US aren't getting mr. bond phone

Just like the us don't get quadcore HOX but getting HOXL instead

Me too, but considering the spec. V is really actually the flagship. So might be getting the V

But im sure the non-LTE V will surely hit my shore earliest by next year.

[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
So, here are the expected retail prices in Germany:

Xperia T starts at 459eur

Cool. Would be a very competitive price on par with HTC OneX (465eur) und galaxy S3 (506eur), given that OneX quadcore is more a pain in the ass than an advantage and Galaxy S3 spec-wise is still a "better" device.

On the funny note, the Xperia SL is expected to arrive at 599 which is totally unrealistic for this last years device.

Xperia T is already listed at some german online some shop like getgoods.de (Price:459€). I wouldn't expect Xperia T before October (at best).

Regarding those two CPU's: MSM8960 and MSM8260-A are kinda same. Both build on 28nm. MSM8960 have LTE radio build in, that's the major (only?) difference I know.

[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Nope. Not according to the SoC specs:

MSM8960:

BT 4.0, 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4/5 GHz), World Mode (LTE FDD/TDD CAT3, SVLTE-DB, TD-SCDMA, Rel9 DC-HSPA+, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, EGAL, 1x Adv., 1x EV-DO Rev. A/B

MSM8260-A:

BT 4.0, 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4/5 GHz), GSM (GPRS, EDGE), UMTS (DC-HSPA+, TD-SCDMA)

It's kinda strange that despite the fact that MSM8260-A has build in BT4.0, Sony devices running on that SoC only come with BT3.1

Okay just got some info. Sony will not sell the Xperia T in the US unlocked due to exclusive agreement with AT&T (just like they did with the ion).

The Xperia V was not on the US roadmap so he is waiting on confirmation if it will be available in the US.
