thanks Stedus. Right I see 2 differences:
1. the maybe-Honami has a different position of IR-blaster and camera.
2. Also it has a jacket at the TOP, also it has a Camera BUTTOn.
Which the Japanese Z doesn't have, am I right?
so could it really be Honami? or something else? >.>
UPDATE: I heard now, that the white "honami" is just a photoshop-version of Z .....
anyone can check confirm and check?

Also the Silver Frame warping around the device (Metallic Frame)
The frame looks thicker in this devices than in the XZ
The frame consist of two parts (Silver and White).... so i guess it has similar design language to the Z Ultra

Well I edited the brightness and contrast only on the leaked pic:
my opinion, it looks fake to me, though I could be wrong , but there's a lot of editing done to it, on the bottom and the middle part they've erased whatever is there (logo, numbers etc. while true it could be done to protect the user who shared it). Plus at the top right corner of the phone, there's a sharp edge on the cuts of the borders while on the top left it is rounded. Then the IR blaster kind of seems to not line up right with the phone's perspective or maybe that's just me.

Well anyway if Honami does look like that it does not matter to me, because it still looks good in my opinion , what's more important is it's camera lowlight performance.

in terms of design wise? yes, tbh there isnt that much of a change, different materials are used to built the external.
the photo that was leaked could really be the back of the phone.
like i said, ive got the photos in hand but i cant share them

@litoni It is the back. Look at the arrangment of the headphone jack and the camera keys. If you know what I mean.  |

Xperia ZU's side = Honami's side.
Minus the headphone jack, and shortening it.
So... then wtf is that device in the invite pic? lol
According to your info unknown, the headphone jack is on the left when facing the screen, but of course the device in the invite has it on the right. It can't be Z Ultra because they have different features. So either the invite pic phone is Honami, or another regional variant of Z Ultra, or some other mystery device.
Based on the info you guys have, any chance that is Honami, or definate no? |

No. The jack is at the top. |

Hrmmmmmm. So... guessing the pic in the invite is a global variant of Z Ultra. REALLY hopeful it's not just a fake mockup that'll never see the light of day. |

This photo. The headphone jack is in the correct location. So is the camera keys. |
