Sony should correct their screen display,camera video n battery on their latest flagships. Their screen goes pale within minutes use. Their video goes dim upon used. Their battery life is short n goes hot

                  Let's just hope it doesn't shoot 1MP stills during video recording. OIS and 1080p@60fps would be nice, too.

                    Seriously, it this rumoured handset is to take shape and be available then the world would shift to Sony as they have done in the past, forgetting all those other quantity and no quality producers. Long live the exclusive Outstanding electronic manufacturing company in the World....SONY

                        What about the rumored s-master audio chip? I'll buy it if Sony includes the chip inside the Honami so it can replace my Walkman X for audio.

                                Good move Sony! In 5inch category, I would rather choose 10mm thick phone with 3000mAh than a 7mm thick but only with 2000-2300mAh. However, if the rumored spec is true, I assume it will be priced around $800-900. :'(

                                        "The key selling point of the Honami though will be its camera. "

                                        No no, the key selling point would be that it finally got a 3000mAh battery. Finally!

                                        The power isn't exactly anything to complain about either. Almost sounds like dream specs, but hoping it'll all come through. Now that Moto pulled out of Norway - again - I really think a Sony might be my next device. Haven't had one since t630 adn that era of very bad Sony phones.
