Hasta La Gadget!

There’s been a lot of talk about Sony’s reported Honami smartphone, but there haven’t been photos of the beast in a nearly finished state. At least, until now: Gadget Helpline and Weibo user @latter21 claim to have multiple photos of the would-be flagship. The photos largely match up with previous rumors, which have Sony fitting a larger (possibly 20-megapixel) camera into the corner while otherwise preserving a very Xperia Z-like design. There are a couple of surprises — the xenon flash of an earlier leak isn’t visible, and a large speaker has surfaced at the bottom. Unfortunately, the photo suppliers can’t verify many other details. The camera interface is purportedly unfinished, and there’s no mention of the CPU and display quality upgrades inherited from the Xperia Z Ultra. If the images are accurate, though, we’re looking at a subtle design evolution whose biggest upgrades are hidden inside.

We’ve been hearing stacks of rumors recently about a Sony flagship called Honami, which will supposedly come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 and a 20-megapixel camera. A system dump, purportedly from a Honami phone, surfaced last week and now XDA developer “krabappel2548” has managed to dissect the camera app and get it working on some existing Xperia devices — including the Xperia Z, ZL and Tablet Z, so long as they’ve been suitably prepped for hacking. From the resulting screenshots, it looks like Sony is set to introduce features such as augmented reality, “Time shift” (which sounds a lot like HTC’s Zoe feature), live filters and an image search engine dubbed “Info-eye.” All of this sounds reasonably in tune with the “One Sony” strategy of focusing on mobile and imaging. If Honami is real, and if it comes with the right hardware to support the updated camera module, it could be a big deal.
