I hope they move forward the GXi announcement date just to slap samsung in the face before the sgs3 release. Seems unlikely though, it's Sony we are talking about...

While advancements in tech on smartphones are impressive as ever, It keeps me wondering why we still don't have waterproof or shockproof capability listed as standard phone feature for all phones sold. most if not all Japanese phones are waterproof, some are even shockproof able to withstand being smashed badly and yet we only have a handful of the likes of Xperia Active for the rest of the world. what use is a hexacore or octocore smartphone and that super beautiful 4K ultra AMOLED screen if they will just be rendered useless right after being submerged in water? or if the they break after being run by a light vehicle? most people are willing to spend a fortune buying the best specs, so there is no excuse for these two features to be not included. this is what I thought when I saw Eluga power from panasonic, and I think Xperia GX and all high end (at least) models should have this as well.

I wonder if Sony even understands how valuable GX is. It can, and will, take a huge portion of the high-end market if released in time. |

Actually nokia is considering to make all their future lumia and pure view handsets as water proof, which is a step in the right direction! Even i think that phones should be water proofed, especially these newer ones with inbuilt battery, there would be no way to disconnect the battery incase it does fall inside the water...
Also it seems Lg's LE970 phone will have adreno 320! I think gxi with this would be pretty possible then

I think Adreno 320 is just there for bragging rights, same thing for Mali400Mp4 on GSIII if no apps or games that are and will be available throughout its life span that can ever make use of it's floating point computing muscle, it's just a waste of battery. tech geeks will love it, but is it practical? i still think even the "outdated" S3 chip in Xperia S can run all android HD games without breaking sweat. We need more features that are really useful for us, and as I said previously, I'd prefer a "sluggish and outdated" panasonic ELUGA POWER smartphone over that LG uber smartphone anytime if it could survive a top gear class abuse.
EDIT: well this is innovation done right - again from Japan, sigh wish we could also have one

So it seems the Xperia Active successor will be announced within the next two days. ST27i/ST27a Sony Lotus
Also some fresh rumors
1. Xperia SX will have no International version, will be sold in Japan Only
2. There will be a LT24 cdma device in October that will be sold in Japan
3. "New" Xperia S with upgraded Bluetooth 3.0 and overclocked MSM8260 ala Xperia Arc - Xperia Arc S
4. LT30 Mint launch in September.
Hmm its really disappointing that the SX won't have an international version

5 inch is just too big. When are they gonna plonk a quad core on a normal sized ie..4.2- 4.3 inch device?

Source: Chinese forums.
I know, 5 inch is too big but unfortunately that's what the high end market will be like next year. HTC and LG are also gonna launch 5 inch 1080p quad core phones, so Sony cannot be left behind. And maybe Samsung is working on a 5 inch Super Amoled Full HD pentile screen phone ? LOL
EDIT: There will be a smaller screen quad core Xperia too, between 4 - 4.3 inches. I don't remember the exact screen size sorry but between 4-4.3 not bigger than 4.3
And I am starting to take the rumors on the chinese forum seriously, as they were 100% accurate about the GX/ SX quite a few weeks before they were announced.
No rumor on there about the "real" flagship yet though. Will post if there is any rumor regarding the supposed true flagship

I don't think International GX will be waterproof when the Japanese version isn't  |
