I wan this phone..any lyn sifu bring in?

this is a great leap from 5800.

This is surely for Japan only, all Japan model got that thing - it is IR remote.

Hmm...I see. Thanks for that. I'm trying to figure out before there's a dummy of the set if it'll be ok in my hands. One handed operation would be a big plus.

Aiyor. Taikor - no hard feelings ler. I was merely looking for alternatives to carry such a huge ass phone. Finding a suitable manbag is not an easy task - I know coz I usually get called borderline gay for what I wear

Chill bro! Sincerest apologies if I have said something to offend

official leaked ??

Oh, nothing la, nothing hard feeling here.

Just I do lazy snap the bag, haha!

if this is real then really nothing so special about this honami. except for the new screen, which is consider new technology, the rest of it are really just a spec bump up from XZ.

what happen to 1 sony? which should incorporate cybershot camera?

so much for "honami going head on with S4 Zoom and Lumia 1020"...

Nah, I'm not that disappointed. 1020 is a dedicated camera with phone function, the rest of the spec is meh.not to mention the bumb would not feel great in the pocket nor hand. But Nokia Did make it as thin as possible unlike Samsung S4 zoom.

Hanomi is thin, it's a no compromised phone. It would have awesome screen,processor, sound,big battery, IR blaster and all. Expect it to replace your point and shoot camera not DSLR.

Looks like Honami only can main kasut with Samsung. Nokia still pawn everyone in camera

it always nice to hv a super camera on a phone but whatever it is I still want a phone with a great camera, not a camera wit a phone functionality like 1020 n s4 zoom. u want a super camera like those, then u wont get a slim n sexy phone. notin is perfect.

Honami have tick bazel make it ugly from my eyes.

for me, i think the camera is sufficient for a phone....if i need a high end camera better buy real thing instead.
but after seeing the latest photo leaks i feel that this Honami is much bigger & uglier than XZ

and no walkman chip?

so much for a 'jack of all trades' phone...but master of none.

dont mind to wait for next year, hopefully there's a successor for Ray...

Look like Honami will be upgrade in spec but downgrade in design.

Still love XZ design although i can't afford it yet.

Erm. Like everyone else said. Feels more like a Z "upgrade". Nothing outstanding about the design nor the specs. I'd still consider it though

Cool cool. Sometimes words don't translate well when the medium is text, so yeah. Always better to err on the side of caution!

No more news on the Ultra? Would be nice to see a proper review The best compilation of hands on by far is the one done by xperiablog. To those that haven't seen it yet, you guys should

Actually I am not impress with Honami latest leak information yesterday, it is far wider than Z which mean much bigger bezel, which not in my liking, also much taller than Z. The camera sensor is small, nothing special here then, I believe it just a Mega Pixel upgrade but not really impact a lot in image quality. Also it is thicker than Z as well at 8.3mm without water proof but only water resistance IP57.

If leak information is true, I rather buy Xperia Z Ultra, at least it look solid cool slim 6.5mm and waterproof IP58 + cool multi touch material input capability.

and I think only will have more Z Ultra news once it official release. I hope it get tune more on the software part, give more features on it.

ZU official launch at HK today later.



Honami leaked again

Ya, I seen this pic yesterday also, it is superb thick bezel! and the camera only 20MP when in 4:3, it drop to 8MP in 16:9 which size smaller than current Z at 9MP

I just hope the Honami won't fail just because of the overwhelming hype it received. Ah well. Agree with all your points though.

The only thing about the Ultra is the lack of flash (Not for photography, but for navigating myself in dark places ) and single-handed usage. The battery I guess we'll have to wait for an official release. Meh. Gotta be patient.


Seriously? Official launch as in ready to sell kinda launch? Or just an announcement kinda launch?

Damn. I'm excited now. I really like how the phone phablet looks. I'd really eliminate the need for me to ge a tablet. Just hope the new proc is efficient enough for 30000 mAh.

Ya, Z Ultra weak point is no flash, I also use flash as torch light only.

And possible battery is not big enough for giant screen size 6.4"

Announcement launch only. but Sony Mobile HK already comfirmed it will available End of July / Early of Aug. Price yet known. Try to update when got latest info
