^ +1.

This is worse than the HTC Sensation -> Sensation XE "upgrade", atleast you got better headphones and some UI tweaks in the package as well as a Beats by Dre badge that added snob value.

With Xperia S -> SL its a CPU overclock and thats it seems, they could've saved money and just overclocked the XS to 1.7GHz and fixed the ICS update bugs through a SW update rather than release a pointless new model. Doing this is exactly the reason why Sony/SE fell off the top5 manufacturers list, releasing rehashes of models with different names and hardly any difference in spec, i hope when it does go official there will be a clear differentiation between this and XS.

I hope they will modify the camera lens a little as it uses a cheaper lens than the iphone 4s which uses the same sensor but this beast is a 12mp camera and with an improved lens could make this a worthy upgrade!

give it an RX100 sensor and that "L" thing will be more justified

Xperia SL = Sensor Large

I wish they'd continue the partnership w/ Zeiss and give all Sony phones excellent lenses.

Now I wonder about that since Sony fully owns the mobile division does it mean they now have full rights to license the Zeiss IP to their mobile phones just as it does with their Cybershots and α? AFAIK Nokia have/had exclusive rights to use CZ manufactured lenses for use on their N-series and the 808. and Sony on the other hand builds their own CZ lens using the IP they licensed from that company.
