Come 4^th of September, it is almost a guarantee that Sony’s Honami, or Xperia Z1, will be announced. However in the meantime we have been treated to a bunch of teasers and leaked images, and thanks to a post by Chinese website, 365dian, high quality images of the upcoming Xperia Z1 have surfaced, giving us a clearer and more high-resolution idea of what to expect on the 4^th of September. The folks at XperiaBlog speculate that there is a good chance that the device pictured is a dummy unit, and we can’t help but agree, but at the same time we expect the handset should look pretty similar upon its unveiling.

The Xperia Z1 will be the latest handset from Sony and is expected to share some of the Xperia Z’s features, such as water resistance, a 5” Full HD 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, along with a 20MP rear-facing camera with Sony’s G Lens. While the hardware of the Xperia Z1 does not appear to be a slouch, at least on paper, its main selling point would be its camera. In the past we have seen manufacturers such as Samsung and Nokia release smartphones with powerful cameras, and we expect Sony’s Xperia Z1 20MP camera will look to compete with them. In any case check back with us on the 4^th of September for the details.

It was only a couple of days ago when Samsung basically confirmed that the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smart watch will be making their debut at IFA 2013 at Samsung’s 4^th September press event. While the smart watch’s alleged specifications have since been leaked, @evleaks has since posted a couple of screenshots of the upcoming accompanying app for the device. According to the screenshot, it seems that a smartphone device, presumably one of Samsung’s Galaxy series, will be used to control the smart watch and manage some of its features.

It seems that one of the features of the smart watch has also been confirmed and it is that of its NFC and Bluetooth connectivity which it will use to pair together with the smartphone. Through the accompanying app, users will also be able to manage the watch’s apps, and it looks like Samsung has a couple of apps ready for the device as well, according to the “Samsung Apps” section. There’s even a “Find my watch” feature which presumably will allow the user to locate their watch should they misplace it, although the range of this feature remains unknown (does it need to be within Bluetooth range or can it be tracked across town?). In any case more will be revealed on the 4^th of September, so check back with us then for the details.
