Just want to know will it have an IR blaster?

Single speaker or dual?

How big is the battery?

Does it has normal notification led or cool one like the ZL/SP.
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Going by info from esato, it will have an IR blaster, dual speakers and battery is 3000mAh
[Xperia Z General] ultrairon:
Most likely

It will probably have an ir blaster but dual speakers are questionable and i hope the battery is at least 2800 mah
[Xperia Z General] ssj_jaypee:
when is the honami going to be unveiled?
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
August/September. Sony is hoping to avoid a long interval between announcement and release.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

There are dual speakers - they cover the whole bottom surface of the device under a single grille.

Battery is 3000mAh
[Xperia Z General] ultrairon:
AWW

so its not going to be released at sony's july 4th event
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
Xperia i1 Honami
[Xperia Z General] ultrairon:
Sweet

Looks pretty cool
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Thanks Ben!

I must ask though. With all the fan renders floating about, how certain are you that this is actually Honami?

If it most certainly is Honami, is there any way you can find out from the same source if it has a xenon flash?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
So dual speakers under the bottom grills instead of at 2 opposite end, lack of playful light led does not sound like a good walkman phone.

But it has waterproof, IR blaster as well as audio chip sound lovely. And someone had leaked a sketch apps means it has the same "use anything as a stylus" screen as ZU?

Not so disappointed with the camera though, as Sony says best camera phone meaning it would be better than Nokia 808. A 3yrs old phone without any competition yet. I'm pretty sure S4 zoom and pureview has a better camera, but it thickness make it suck as a phone.
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
pm you
[Xperia Z General] ultrairon:
Hi ben

Yeah how come the pic u posted doesnt look like the leaks and if u can pm me about the camera and if its regular led flash or xenon flash and do u think they launch it at there july 4th event. thanks ben
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
about the camera and xenon flash,i didn't found anything...

and also not sure it will be announce on 4th July,but seems that Sony will unveil the 7" Tablet

the picture in the invitation not same as this one,and it looks bigger.
[Xperia Z General] ultrairon:
OK and are the bottoms going to be capacitive or on screen thanks
[Xperia Z General] ImAnurag:
In past we have seen "Sony France Paris meet" launching some phone which obviously is not Z Ultra now...So is it Honami now ?

Nice pic but what is the authenticity that they are not photo-shopped ? any strong source before that....
[Xperia Z General] Ben Ling:
of course on-screen

and it has 20MP camera,ISO 12800,can record 4k videos also
[Xperia Z General] ultrairon:
Sweet 4k videos that's awesome too bad I don't have a 4k display I hope they announce it at the July 4rth event even if its not the star

Sony isn't gonna release a 7inch tablet :)

I don't have any sources for leaked devices but I do know someone working at sony who could confirm me what get's released and what's not.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Actually the apps will remain as they are now for the foreseeable future. Only certain class of tasks can be meaningfully parallelized (like image manipulation), vast majority simply can't be. Not now and not in the future. Due to various mundane reasons. And the phones happen to run mostly those.

The S4 is actually more future proof than Exynos in this regard due to the higher single thread performance.

It has nothing to do with being able or unable to handle Sense. It has more to do with many amateur(-ish) developers who do not really understand what they are actually doing and eating battery power when they actually shouldn't. Which is already heavily strained by power hungry LTE.

So HTC just decided to kill those apps for good, just in case.

In the ideal world every developer would now how to write clean code without runaway threads, wait loops, forgotten timers and similar **** and such drastic measures simply won't be necessary. But....

Or it can happen, that it won't get many updates precisely because of that. I bet that popup feature is mostly implemented in hardware and requires funky custom drivers. Which of course will be difficult to port to the new version, so it will take time (read - expensive) and will be quickly abandoned.

You won't. In any case, not because of CPU.
[Xperia Z General] pitamus:
does it have nfc?
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Comprehensive nonsense. Period.
[Xperia Z General] Lucasm93:
Another problem with the GX is these pics that are been released. Not inviting at all. I doubt that it will match the SGS3 in video quality too.

About the updates, you say Sony is better.

Well, Xperia S does not have ICS yet.

SGS2 does.

It's easy for Samsung to make their customizations because they are the makers of their SoC. While Sony uses Qualcomm which only loses to Nvidia when it comes to being a pain in the ass to release their drivers and documentation about their SoC.

It not only makes things easier for updates, but explains the butter smooth Touchwiz and its amazing browser. Actually, the SGS3 ROM is the only I've seen that I would not change to an AOSP custom ROM.

I really wish Sony would step up their game, but they don't. Hardware and software wise Samsung is at the top right now, and I don't see that changing soon.
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
I wouldn't say that. Gs3 is fast because of the quad core processor. (A battery eater, if I'm right). Of course this is my opinion, based on someone said, but All those devices until now were made while it was still SE. Maybe Sony was scared of giving all their tech to them.

And, from what I read, Gs2 for ICS has lots of bugs. Another thing: It is a 2011 device. Arc S, Neo V and Ray got ICS earlier than Gs2. Xperia S still does not have it because they do MANY tests before release. And they started working on it after 2011 devices.

Hardware wise, they are not so far behind, in my opinion, because S4 is almost as good, but is way better to battery. And I would buy a Htc One X or GS2, but both hardware and software, they are ugly as hell. Sony design and UI were always the best ones. And XS processor will provide me, and I'm sure of that, for 1.5 years to 2 years.
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
So....a news break....what if Hayabusa and Mint aren't the only handsets coming? and what IF Hayabusa and Mint aren't flagships? :p
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
You mean there will be another flagship xperia beside Hayabusa and Mint?? O.o

I was waiting for the Mint to get the real Flagship..... Im confused now :confused:

BTW: can you please tell us about that Xperia? :D
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
Are you serious? :confused:
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Ooooh, very interesting. I'm calling it now, whatever phone Unknown is hinting at here will have the OLED display.

So... unknown... master of the teasers... my friend (well, I'd like to be your friend)... even if you're unable to give us more specifics about what this new phone can do, can you even give us a rough idea of when it's expected? For example, should we be REALLY REALLY excited about CommunicAsia *wink* *wink*? :D

EDIT.

Ok, IMO if Hayabusa and Mint aren't the new flagship phone and there's an even stupendouser phone on the way then I think it's either gotta be an Xperia Nexus or a Vita/Playstation Phone.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
@unknown13

Worth waiting for CommunicAsia in Singapore June 17th ???

I dont care about flagship now, the upcoming phn should be good looking n should have better specs, close to SGS3...

Note: I dont care about quad cores, dual will be enough.

from xperia PLAY
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Well that's not surprising :rolleyes: Sure there will be better devices than Hayabusa and Mint, but the question is when will they be released? I don't expect any "flagships" from Sony (besides LT29/30) this year. Q1 2013 is of course another story. By that time Jelly Bean will be available and I'm sure that Sony will than have a new flagship running on quad core S4 and have 2 GB RAM (the new standard for high-end).

The only scenario where I can imagine of a "truly" 2012 flagship would be if Google chooses Sony to be the next Nexus maker. But I highly doubt that.
[Xperia Z General] huntedsoul12:
Are you kidding me?? You serious mate?? Just tell us that if its worth getting excited?
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Well if the rumours of up to 5 companies each making their own Nexus devices for Jellybean are true, then it's almost a certainty that Sony would be one of those companies.

Plus we still have the rumours of AU Optronics providing Sony with (IIRC) 4.3" OLED displays in the second half of this year. I was really hoping that those displays would go on the Hayabusa or Mint but that doesn't seem to be the case since they're just variants of the GX. With this tidbit indicating there might be an even higher end phone in the works, it makes sense that this flagship phone would be the one to get the OLED display.
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
Woah woah, hold your horses people, if you left with your horses come back first! :p I'm just saying that Sony has a fleet flying above waiting to land. We'll start to see some handsets that were available in some exclusive market, be available elsewhere with some good upgrades. :D Sorry to burst your hopes, but it won't get better than Hayabusa, but not going to say if it's on par or not though :p
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
5 different Nexus phones? Google couldn't managed 2 Nexus phones running on 2 different SoCs (Hummingbird, OMAP4).

A 4.3" Nexus Phone? The GNEX has 4,65" and I highly doubt the screen size will get smaller. And considering it will have onscreen buttons the display would be to small.

:p

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

Well it's still a rumour of course, but it would be an amazing step forward for Android as a whole if they could pull it off. The problem with these damned Nexus phones so far is you get a single phone with the latest, greatest OS, then you have to wait months and months for everyone else to get it. Android is supposed to be about freedom and choice, and IF this is what Google is planning then it would be a wonderful evolution of the Nexus program.

Well it's been a while since I read those OLED rumours, but IIRC some of them said 4.3" and others just said anywhere from 4 - 5". Who knows what's accurate though.

Anyways, with unknown13x's latest post it seems like we got a bit too excited over nothing... I think... that boy needs to stop teasing dangit :p

EDIT.

Ok ok ok... I've read through unknowns latest statement a bit more and think I've got it (but probably don't). We're going to get the Xperia Play II with the same specs as the GX, it'll have an OLED display and be the new poster child for Sonys Playstation Suite as it leaves the beta stage and goes off into the real world.

THERE! That's my final bit of arse-pullery for the night :)
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Okay, I admit that I'm kinda confused now.

some deductive logic here:

So Hayabusa and Mint aren't flagships and there will be another device(s)

Deduction: A real flagship will come later

Deduction: Either the international version of the GX or Mint will get a spec upgrade, just like Sammy did it with its S3 having 2GB Ram in Japan and USA.

Deduction: Paradox. If these rumored handset will get some good upgrades then it should be better than Hayabusa. :confused:

EDIT:

Okay, maybe I misinterpreted something.

So the international version of the GX aka Hayabusa will get some spec upgrade, but along with this upgraded GX there will be another device which will have similar specification to the upgraded GX. This could either be the Xperia Play or maybe a Nexus version of the international GX.
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Well if whatever he's talking about is an Xperia Play II then it technically wouldn't be a paradox. It could be a phone just as powerful (maybe moreso) than the GX, but due to its nature as a gaming phone it wouldn't technically be viewed as the flagship, even though it would have similar/better specs.
[Xperia Z General] chrisp7:
See fig a.

A flagship will always come later but Mint seems to be the upcoming flagship. Mint will either be an upgraded GX for international market (Im guessing unlikely) or Mint will be a quad core unknown phone.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Guys, don't get carried away. Let's look what is available on the components market.

Qualcomm just barely released their S4 and as far as rumours go, they have severe problems to keep up with demand.

It could partially explain, why HTC splashed out on that Tegra3 OneX version with no apparent gain on performance and with severe energy efficiency and cooling problems. Yes, politics and that "bling bling" effect played a significant role too.

S4 Pro is scheduled for 2H 2012 which realistically means we will see real devices around christmas. If everything goes well.

The same goes for A15 which won't arrive before 2013. And then it will probaly appear in tablets first and in phones later (OMAP5 is scheduled for Q3 2012).

So, it looks like the S4 will be the king of the hill at least until the end of the year.

I currently see no real benefit as far as 2GB RAM is concerned. Current devices are not constrained by RAM and I do not see how they can get constrained in the near future. I mean, the mass market devices are still equipped with 512MB RAM, so everything is still developed with those 512Mb in mind.

On the other hand, those 2GB are not free. And I do not mean money, I mean energy. RAM constantly sips non neglectable amount of power just by sitting here doing nothing. that 1GB of RAM is responsible for some 20% of total standby power consumption. Double the amount and the power consumption will double too. So, don't whine, that phone lost third of it's battery charge overnight.
[Xperia Z General] nsavani:
Do you know what they are gonna show on July 4th?
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
Yeah, I think I know some one can confirm no 7 inch device from Sony, there's just no money to be made there with the kind of price point like n7.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Holy smoke, looks like my 4k guess was correct, will be a major selling point. Anyone confirm the thickness of this babe? The new pics are kind of disappointing of the big bezel.

announce on July 4, release in Aug/sept is too long of a gap.
[Xperia Z General] ultrairon:
Uh no

Um no if they launch ti in july and they dont start selling until september thats perfectly normal ok
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
Not good for those of us hoping for a completely minimalist look :(

Aye, but some don't like waiting two months for the phone to hit the stores. Ideally, the phone should be released by the end of the month. That's what I think anyway.
[Xperia Z General] Haldi4803:
4k Video..... Nice feature, the S800 surely is capable of that, but wasn't there also rumors about S4 being able to process 90 FPS or even up to 120FPS ? i'd rather have a SloMo camera than 4k Videos.... no one can play them nativ anyway xD

[MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION]

Can you find anything about FPS in the camera firmware ?
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
Should be announced and release 2 weeks later so it won't kill any hype or momentum of the device when other competitor announce their device in between.
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
Exactly. The Z suffered from this problem and lost sales....

I doubt they'd make it that much bigger, same screen size etc. I mean it's already the biggest in size compared to its competitors, hopefully it's same as the Z and yeah the bezel seems too much, more than Z.

EDIT: Anyone know when or a good prediction when it be released (on sale), so I know when to sell my S4 :')
[Xperia Z General] ultrairon:
Maybe this week

There is a slight chance it will come out on july 4th at their paris event

Yeah, hopefully it doesn't take months to hit the shelf like the Z though.
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Nobody seems to have ported the Honami framework UI to their phones except me, so I thought I would give my analysis on it.

Basically the UI is different to previous Sony phones. There are some similarities to the Xperia Z UI but there are many departures from the design with Honami.

Theme Accents

The accents are slightly modified with Honami. Since the Xperia S, every accent would attribute to one colour. With Honami, every accent has two shades of a colour; a dark and light colour. The lighter colour is associated with the dark apps while the darker colour is associated with the light apps. Overall the accent colours themselves don't stand out as much as previous iterations. Also, Turquoise and Brown have disappeared. Turquoise is replaced with the stock blue accent(s) and Brown is replaced with grey.

Here's an infographic of the Accents used by Sony since 2012:

App framework design

The title bar and backgrounds for holo apps look similar to the Xperia Z but are not textured. There is apparently noise added to the dark app background, but it's hardly noticeable. It's overall a flatter look.

Gone is the SoMA font. The UI uses Roboto throughout the system. There are a couple areas, such as the lockscreen clock and the plain digital clock widget, that use a font known as SST.

Check boxes and radio buttons have a new look. Instead of the check mark/radio being coloured, the background is coloured (when the box is activated).

Progress bars look more like holo progress bars, except with matching accent colours, like in the 2012 Xperias.

Sliders and switches are still metallic and have the matching accent trail. The slider itself looks a little bit more refined, but nothing drastically different. Slider trails are not holo, but are not similar to the Xperia Z design.

Section headers of lists will match the accent, along with dialog titles (as well as dialog dividers like in previous versions).

Tabs are 3d and do not have any relations to accents, the content inside the tab will match the accent colour whether it's an image or text.

Transition animations are different, but have some similarities to the Xperia Z's, where it fades and floats up.

Here are some images of what the framework may look like in Honami, based off the default (blue) accent. This is on my Xperia arc with my modded framework-res. Remember, don't look at the apps themselves (I'm using ICS Xperia apps), but the smaller things such as switches, check boxes, radio buttons, action bar, tabs etc.

If you have any questions about it you may ask, though I can't guarantee an answer. I'll add anymore info I find to this post.

Please don't request me to make the theme for you, I'm not going to do it.
