Hmm... thought Sony logo would be at the bottom? There's plenty of videos of a version which has Xperia at the top, Sony at the bottom, together with another Docomo version which has NTTDocomo Xi at the top, Sony at the bottom. Thought the Xperia logo one would be the international version....

Xperia logo at the top:

[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
OH MY GOD! People are so hard headed, READ THE TOPIC, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE AT COMMUNICASIA!!!

And about the internation version of the Hayabusa, again, if you read the topic, u13x says that the international version has sony on top en xperia on bottom
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
Well the fringe event refers to the same event Rubenos mentioned. I don't know why people don't understand that ? Nobody really said Sony is gonna be at CommunicAsia.

And its a fringe event because the Sony event is gonna take place a few miles away from CommunicAsia venue in Singapore
[Xperia Z General] king-james:
Sony at the bottom looks much better! And Sony don't need Xperia Logo at the front! Only on backside it's enough! The ION has the SONY logo also at bottom!!

If the SONY logo is on top, I don't think it will be illuminated...

@Rubenos

WTF is wrong with ya?! It is official that SONY will be there!!!
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Singapore is NOT a big place !!

I hope complete action can be catched at MARINA BAY SANDS and SUNTEC CONVENTIONAL CENTRE both nearby..
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
http://translate.google.nl/?hl=nl&t...Inhoudelijk kan ik er verder niets over kwijt.

And if you don't know who Harold de Kort is, well, you should stop reading this topic
[Xperia Z General] king-james:
It doesn't matter! I meant SONY will announce something on Wednesday!!! There or not makes no difference IMO!
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
Read the whole topic please....

The event Harold is talking about is the event me and XperiaBlog have an invite for, this event is on the 20th. They will have an event for phones there.
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Anyway, it doesn't matter where Sony announces the devices, but what devices! I hope they are not just about to show recently unveiled phones like Xperia Go, Acro S, Miroand Tipo/Dual. That would be real letdown!
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
You are gonna be disappointed if you think Sony will announce something at CommunicAsia, simply because Sony isn't taking part in CommunicAsia. Check the exhibitors list on communicasia website.

I heard the Sony event is somewhere near Singapore Intl Airport. :)
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Near airport??? Nothing near aiport for the show..

It should be at marina bay sands or suntech.

[Xperia Z General] Readler:
To be honest, I don't think that Hayabusa or some other high end device will be announced, or a new device at all. Remember the hype Sony made for Miro and Go? Those low end phones?

Now there's no hype at all - which is quite unusual in my opinion.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
You did google search???

http://singapore-promotions.com/?s=Sony+Xperia+Event+Ion+Orchard+19+20th

I dont EXPECT much on 20th anyways...

There is NO HYPE nothing so assuming only mid range phones will be announced

[Xperia Z General] zymo:

[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
Very good zymo, Xperia.a, are you saying you still think they're going to be at CommunicAsia?
[Xperia Z General] king-james:
@xperia.x10.awesome

WTF?! Only Midrange devices will be announced? Where do you know that? We all waiting for Hayabusa/Mint/Ion global!!!
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
@king-james: You really didn't read the topic did you
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Don't expect too much! And if u13x "3 month rule" applies to Hayabusa, then it won't be available until September/October at all.

And if Sony isn't able to excite us on 20th June maybe Microsoft can do that with their WP8 Apollo event :p
[Xperia Z General] king-james:
@zymo

At least I have expect one highend device, but now....

@Rubenos

I don't know what you mean. What topic? I'm driving crazy here...
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
If you red this whole topic you're talking in now you should have known better
[Xperia Z General] kekkle:
Don't forget that the Xperia S was in fact just released. It hasn't even properly been 3 months out. Why replace it already?
[Xperia Z General] dohanotoha:
I don't think there will be any new phones for the rest of this year . They have released 7 already !
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
What? We have another 6 month to go till 2013 and beside that most of their recently released phones are lower end devices.

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 AM ----------

It already got "replaced" by the Acro S :D
[Xperia Z General] shmoejoe:
Naah, the acro S is just the water-resistant version for those who are around water and moisture a lot. Its more of them branching out into another market, much like the dual-sim device.

It was never meant to replace the S, just give people a more durable option so people dont need to sacrifice quality/specs. Its actually a very good move in my opinion.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Xperia S and Acro S are the same phone in a different casing. Neither is better. They're both LT26 too.
[Xperia Z General] dohanotoha:
Apparently Sony doesn't think of their devices as lower ends!

I hope there will be new powerfull phone this year but it doesn't seem that there will be
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Spec-wise Acro S is better. Water and dust resistant, bigger battery and microSD slot.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Not like those things really matter. The battery increase is hardly worth it, 32GB is plenty for almost everyone and I keep my phone away from water and dust anyway :P
[Xperia Z General] chrisp7:
Haha cmon, given the choice between the two the Arco is intrinsically better, battery itself a critical improvement.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
True, but I'd still go for the Xperia S to avoid having those terrible port flaps. The ones on the Xperia S don't really bother me for the first time in my life.

On the other hand you have to admit the Acro S doesn't have enough new things to call it a new flagship.
[Xperia Z General] georgesmh:
guys you are off topic.. acro s and xs are both similar devices.. the acro is a little better but uglier.. now anybody got any hayabusa/lt29i news?? june 20th is tomorrow! :D
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Sony's event on 20th June i.e. tomorrow and nobody knows (even in Singapore) except this XDA forum!!! :D
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
If nobody knows about the event tomorrow then you should expect to see devices that almost nobody cares about. :( I am 99,99% sure that tomorrow will bring nothing new to the table, at least not the device(s) we are looking for.
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
Around 50 invites where send to reviewers and journalist. These are the only one who should know. And XperiaBlog got a hold of one, and I received one.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
That means disappointment.

sent from seXperia S
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Xperiablog won't be there. They have asked through Facebook and Google+ if someone of their followers is interested to cover the event for them.

Anyway what about some hype for tomorrows event?! There was some hype generated by Sony for that facebook event, but what about tomorrow. If there is any correlation between hyping an event and level of devices (low/high-end) being announced, then I expect that at the event tomorrow Sony is going to present Sony branded peanuts :D
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
I didnt say they would be there, i said who got an invite ;-)
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
This could be the bad news Rubenos was recently talking about

From esato froum:

If really true, then this not just bad news, but really really bad news at least for Europeans, assuming that nobody in Europe will see Hayabusa.
[Xperia Z General] dachao:
I want to know what a fat ARC loks like(MINT)?
[Xperia Z General] Readler:
It this is true, it proves once again how stupid Sony is with launching their devices. Why don't make it like Samsung for example? Announce a phone and make it globally available within a month or so. This can't be that hard.

Well, if Hayabusa won't come or takes too long to come, I'll probably go with the Aquos Phone by Sharp
[Xperia Z General] miki_69:
Does it mean Xperia Z rumor is true? Since Hayabusa/GX ( with new 13MP sensor, RGB-White...) isn't coming to Europe I guess Xperia Z will make its way.

Cheers,

Miki
[Xperia Z General] Readler:
Well, it's a bit confusing. Some say GX is Hayabusa, while other say that Hayabusa is LT29i, the international version of GX, which could be called Xperia Z.
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Nobody can answer this. Most of us simply don't know and the ones who do won't tell.
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
That was not the bad news I was talking about.

5 hours left guys!
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
5h? You mean 4h and 20min :D
[Xperia Z General] miki_69:
That makes sense actually. I don't think Hayabusa will be the only phone (and for Japan only) with latest and greatest camera :D

Cheers,

Miki
[Xperia Z General] dachao:
This is from Esato

"Mint is Plastic and Looks very cheap not impressed at all, All Black with chrome buttons and a chrome ring around a protruding camera lens"

U13X stated several times that MINT will have a metal uni-body.
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
It "looks like" it. I didn't say it is. I haven't touched it yet, so I can't tell the material. What he describes is absolutely correct. There is a chrome ring around the camera. The SIM/memory card slot is also weird. It's a small flap at the back. Looks like a bat-mobile(Tumbler) version of the arc. Thick and ruggedy looking. It would be cool if they advertise it in Batman, sadly they obviously won't. Which comes to what I said before that most, if not all, will prefer Hayabusa over Mint just based on cosmetics alone.
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
@ u13x

Any idea whether or not Hayabusa will launch in Europe? Cause the same guy said LT29i won't come to UK.

EDIT:

Xperia GX hits FCC

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...me=N&application_id=880288&fcc_id='PY7PM-0000'

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/06/19/xperia-gx-passes-through-the-fcc-full-manual-available/

It's the international version with Sony logo on top
[Xperia Z General] borgsta:
Will the Aquos phone be released internationally?
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
It's the international version of the GX I think, according to u13x, the international version has Sony on top and Xperia on bottom, the Japan/NTT DoCoMo version has NTT DoCoMo on top and Sony on bottom or Xperia on top and Sony on bottom.

(But this photo is part of the pictures of the GX, so I don't know if it's international version or NTT DoCoMo version.)
[Xperia Z General] dachao:
that clarifies things a little bit.

I still do not understand why the premium price for the MINT if it is all plastic and fat. :eek:
[Xperia Z General] Awesome_Aleks:
If it has LTE...that's why
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
So is the Hayabusa being announced tomorrow (or today depending on what part of the world you are in)?
[Xperia Z General] dachao:
LOL. Hayabusa and MINT use the same SoC MSM8960. That does not justify the higher price at all.

There has to be something else.
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
After taking a good look at the FCC ppics of the GX

I notice that the camera lens of the GX is at the same position as the One X lens (little floating outside of the case)

Which is very easy to be scratched ...

Also the GX lens seems to be bigger than the One X's

So it comes to this question, will the GX lens be scratched easily like the One X? :<
[Xperia Z General] dachao:
They might not announce anything. It is all speculations. All we can do is wait and see.

Sony, you make us wait AGAIN?????? :<
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
LOL. Nothing special, just like expected. So Hayabusa will hit the shelves 3 month after Japan, which means sometime in September/October!
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
thank God I have NOT waited for this stupid announcement and purchased Xperia S, I will now look for Sony in 2013 only..
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
Well the S has not been released yet in the USA. So I am still waiting....
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
Im going to buy the Ion now

i can't wait anymore for a phone that doesn't even have a proper announcement date T_T
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
are you looking forward to a fatty with fresh mint?
[Xperia Z General] shmoejoe:
Hmm..

I'm not really all that surprised that they did this actually. They haven't had a official showing of all the devices together up until now, so it was a matter of time before they showcased them all at once to the world.

To those feeling down by this...think of it this way. All the other devices are out now besides the GX/Mint, so -if- they even plan on doing a global release, it will probably be at their next big "unveiling" event. But as the GX/lt29i(?) won't be globally available (at least rumored) I don't think you will see it at a big international convention...and the Mint...well anything can happen.

But...since all is still quiet on their side, I don't think you can expect these two to be out (or even revealed?) until end Q3/begin Q4. And at that point, you might as well wait to see the 2013 devices if you are hungry for the best of the best for Sony.

What's the next big event anyways?
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
IFA Berlin
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Next Big Event is release of iPhone 5 !! :D
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
I wouldn't cut short to just Hayabusa/Mint just yet...:rolleyes: There's more coming down the pipe.
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
Don't Forget the New Lumia WP 8 :D

Btw, guess what?

I decided to buy the Ion instead of waiting

Then the shop said that all of their X Ion are sold T_T

What a day.... :((
[Xperia Z General] shmoejoe:
For global release? Reaching into other markets like the Acro S/Tipo devices or just low/mid range releases?

Anyways the one I want is on it's way out already (Tipo Duo :rolleyes: ) so doesn't matter to me :P, and about the show in Berlin...I think I may actually go to that one :p.
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
Haha, I'm thinking of going to. € 93,- in total for me with travel
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Sony will keep pouring low end mid range devices only this year it seems, they cannot have something to stand alongside SGS3 or iPhone5 !!!
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Go for Xperia S or if u have money get SGS3..
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
The S have some problem with the battery, and i don't really like the removable plastic back :<

There is NO WAY i will EVER choose the GS3 :D

TBH, I don't like SS :D
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
So Unknown, since you've seen pics of the Mint, would you say its appearance is nice enough to be worthy of being a Bond phone? I know you've already stated it seems more appropriate for a Batman phone, so I'm curious about it from a Bond perspective.

Given that whatever phone is the Bond phone will probably only be on screen a few seconds, would you say that it has that immediate "wow" effect? Or more like a "blah" effect upon first view?
[Xperia Z General] zacomaco:
so does this mean there won't be an xperia nexus?

Can't see sony changing course and releasing gx & nexus & mint all at once, after a year of flooding low-mid range phones...
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
The whole point of my warning was not to get your hopes up. If you read the invitation carfully you would see it was a local introduction to new smartphones. So it's about the Asian market. Little research would see that the biggest market in Asia is mid and low and phones, and a few high-end. That's why they took the semi-high-end phones like Ion & Acro S.
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Even if there were an Xperia Nexus, Sony would never let it out of the bag until Google gives the go ahead and officially announces Jellybean. The only possible way for us to hear about such a device is via leaked info, and I'm afraid I haven't come across anything yet :(

For those in the know about Mint, any idea if it has an OLED display? I ask becuase I'm still trying to figure out the meaning behind the reports we got earlier about AUO providing 4-5" OLED displays to Sony for the second half of this year. Unless these displays are going to be going into 2013 phones, I have to imagine that either Mint, Hayabusa, the potential Xperia Nexus or maybe some other random, unannounced phone (Vitaphone? Xperia Play 2?) might have the OLED.
[Xperia Z General] shmoejoe:
Well, theres substantially less "Why Sony why?!?! :(:(:( you let us down, we hate you, I want my mommy!" compared to the Facebook release, so I guess that worked.

Off-topic: The Tipo-Duo won't be sold in the NL, so I am forced to import it...blah
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
I'm also wondering about the AUO OLED, but that was 4.3", so I was hoping that the Mint would be a little smaller and still had 720p screen. But I couldn't find a post from u13x saying the phones size.

It's definitely not going to be in the Hayabusa, that would be strange because it already is released with this specs. It's to much work and money to change the design. Xperia Play 2 would be unlikely, they just introduced the PSVita, which would be only harm to themselfs. Vitaphone with Vita OS you mean? Possible, but very low chance I think.
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Yeah, I don't see a Vitaphone becoming a realistic possibility until they've got the Playstation Mobile program up and running and have built up a massive app ecosystem first. Assuming it takes off and Playstation Mobile becomes very popular, then, and only then can I see a Vitaphone or Vitatab becoming a possibility. So yeah... next year at absolute minimum.
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
Unknown13x had already said Mint has a 4.6 inch screen.
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
I see now, sorry.

I would like to know how big the border around the screen is, to know if it's going to be a huge phone, or an OK size phone with a small border. Couldn't you make a drawing for us u13x :P?
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
and nexus 2013! at least nexus 2013 is coming out end of 2012. not sure before or after mint/hayabusa
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Hrmm, anyone have any info on that patent Sony had about putting sensors and front camera behind the display instead of in the bezel? I have no idea if it's just a random patent, or if they have that tech ready to go, but it would allow for one tiny bezel at least around the top.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
That's early research they're protecting. Don't expect that in a phone for the next few years.
[Xperia Z General] Surethom:
Sony no GX

Well it looks like Sony just does not want my money, Apparently Motorola Will be announcing the Atrix 3 / Razr HD within the next month, I think I will give Motorola my money instead (if they release it in the UK quicker than they usually do) & I so wanted the internation version of the GX.

Current phone Atrix 4g
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Don't be so quick to react just because you set yourself up for disappointment. It very well may be announced soon. Possibly at whatever is supposed to be happening July 12th... assuming there's something actually happening there.
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
And now it's "rumored" to be announced on 12th July? LOL. Waiting a month for that day to come just to hear again that there's nothing special coming. By 13th July another date in August will be rumored to be the day where the device(s) we are looking for are going to be announced and so on. I set my self for a release of Hayabusa by late September/early October. But a few weeks later Google will announce Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie along with the new Nexus, so I would wait a little longer to see what Google has cocked for us this year and if the rumors about several Nexus devices are true, then buying Hayabusa in October for around 500€ would definitely cause cognitive dissonance and frustration.

So for me this means, I am done with Hayabusa and Sony (exception: Sony Nexus 2012). Now I'm going to buy the Galaxy Nexus which I can get for around 330€ and then wait till Q1 2013 for the new wave of high-end Androids.
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Well it's all a matter of how much you want the phone and if you can wait for it. We know the Hayabusa is coming and based off the intended release date in the leaked launch schedule it will likely be announced very soon. All I am saying is don't make a snap decision just because you are disappointed because of an announcement that wasn't the one you were hoping for. If you really do want Hayabusa then wait for it. No one is expecting it to launch before September anyways. If you think you'd be happier with something else then cool.

[Xperia Z General] Readler:
One question: what's the thing about those "Xperia Z, Y, C"-news which went around last week? Were they legit? The rumours were about a release in August/July (which would break the "three-months-after-Japan"-rule).

My contract's running out and I want to have a new device in September latest.
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
I don't think those rumors are legit

Its too early for Sony to release OLED phones :D and the T-series Lens is impossible atm

Im not expecting anything ground-breaking from Sony this year

and if you can wait, the Hayabusa might come to be your choice :D
[Xperia Z General] Readler:
Well, the Hayabusa does everything I want from a phone - but if it takes too long to come, I'll pass.
[Xperia Z General] LUCA LUCA:
hi everyone, maybe could someone help me decide witch phone to get.

so, at the moment i have the xperia mini, i`ve been wanting to get a new phone and i had decided to get the xperia P, but with the new sony phones coming out i dont know what todo.

the xperia SX seems to be really nice on a 3.7screen, does anyone knows when is suppose to be released? is worth it waiting for it or should i just get the xperia P

thanks
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Well it seem that "xperia_man" is legit and has assess to Sony devices and if his latest comment is really true you'll never see hayabusa in Europe!

If you need a new device till September, you should have at least a "Plan B", for the worst case that LT29i won't make it to Germany.
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
So currently we have UAProfs of LT30a (America), LT30at (AT&T carrier) and LT30p (???). Now I found a new one, LT30m, not the UAProf but just on the web. I'm very curious where "p" and "m" stand for. I'll see what I can do :).
[Xperia Z General] Readler:
Xperia Z was my Plan B :D

Kidding, but what's confusing me is the "i" in LT29i - doesn't it stand for "international"?

But if Hayabusa/GX/Z/LT29i won't come to Europe at all or takes too long, I'll probably go with One X as Plan D. My original Plan C, the Aquos Phone, seems to be Japan-exclusive, too. So, no Snapdragon S4 for me :(

My guess: LT30 is like Ion. Basically the same as LT29i, but in a different case with LTE just for the Americans.

Could anyone riddle this out? ^^
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
I think Mint/LT30 = Z, if i Googled LT30 I came across some sites mentioning Z
