In that case, why is the camera a lot smaller and in terms of space, why doesn't it take nearly the whole of the back up widthways, like it has in other recent renders?
I think it's pretty obvious that either one of the renders is wrong, or they are of 2 completely different devices.
Maia admitted he was not sure if the device he saw was Honami, just that they called it Z2. The name we've been hearing for Honami is I1, so they very well might be different devices. |

What maia said, is just a sony phone. Maybe just a design prototype that may or may not make it to production
what my source saw was i1 = Honami prototype.
hope you're not confused now, nightwing

I hope Sony would not recreate last year's T/TX & V situation with this year's honami & the mysterious phone. A flagship should be more superior than a mid-ranger!
@ramu
Would reeflotz's render be semi-official?

I remember a while ago someone on Xperiablo mentioned that Xperia Z's display costs around $45 while HTC One's costs around 85 and Galaxy S4 around $90. Can anyone confirm it? |

Is one of them the "poor man's Honami" which was mentioned a while back?

Razec,
Well done, it looks like a photo of an actual device.
However i note no shutter button, is it on purpose?
Or i will get the answer on the 3d render?

Yes Shotokan
No camera shutter key was not on purpose.  |

Personally, i do hope for several devices to choose from.
Honami is great on paper so far, but if the mystery phone is a camera centric looking like the render from litoni, it would be great and i would look into it.
You could get either:
- the best screen size, togari, but not the best camera, maybe audio, etc...
- the best compromise for many if not most people, honami.
- the next best compromise with smaller form factor, the 4.x incher honami, i guess extra compromises with the camera so it is smaller and slimmer, for people not comfortable with honami size/thickness
- Or the best camera with almost no compromise for imaging, but then necessary compromises in thickness, water resistance or maybe screen, audio or cpu: maybe the mystery device redered by Litoni.
I think it makes sense, as in some markets, i see it in japan which i guess sony cannot afford to overlook currently, phones only sell well for a couple of month except iphone.
I understand sony would want to change that and be in a similar position to apple, but currently they are not and it would be very risky not to have other high end phones in the pipeline, at least as a back-up plan if the plan was to become apple in h2 2013.
So my guess is we will see other high end phones, no need to be disapointed it is economic necessity.
But it is just a guess

Here's the PS render
I had to bombard it with tons of Esato logos as you guys suggested  
@reeflotz I can share you a clean un-watermarked version for you to render in 3D if you want
as ramu said, it's close but not accurate, so the real device should only look close to this only and not as is
@ramu: it's an honor to be trusted by you arigatou!
if this turns out to be Honami i will be disappointed really... it looks just like Z with some changes!! We heard that " ohh Honami will be the most beautiful phone ever made " but this is just meeeh.... I prefer the first render! |

chill out guys... all these are just renders compiled from sources of information. They could be just prototypes or whatever.
I trust Sony's design team, they wont mess things up... cause they never do

@sami92a You may not like the Z but many do. It comes down to personal preference. For me the Z is one of the most beautiful smartphones on the market. Plus this is just a render, wait until you see it for yourself up close before you judge...
