xperiablog.net have just posted that the Honami has had its first lot of software certified. It also says this may be the first phone to be certified before an official announcment which could mean a release straight after IFA.

I heard it's going on sale early October with same price point as the Z.
Same price point of Z as of now? Meaning a US Z costing $579.99 right now would be the cost of Honami at launch?
Another question, will the C6906 have an unlock version in the US or it's going to be a T-Mobile exclusive like the Z and only the 6902(HSPA+) version being unlocked? |

tmob didnt get the z till just a few short weeks ago.. meaning that would be pretty difficult to answer. regardless of if its on tmob or not, sony releases their phones unlocked in certain global regions, just import it. probably only 2 skus, the ones you listed so make sure its the one with compatible bands. i know that the c6306 is compatible with tmob band 4(iv?) lte. chances are the 06 version of this device will cover the same, we will find out more of course on the 3rd/4th. |

It varies from country to country, Croatia's T mobile got Z few weeks after launch. Maybe 3 weeks tops. |

They better have some clever video compression algorithm ... 4k files could be rather large, but it would be awesome if they can do it!
The cleverness is mostlikely spelled h.265. It's still in development as we speak, so any wider spread of 4K applications in consumer products like mobile phones is most likely 1-2 years away I would guess.

Nope, checked system dump, it's still H264. Don't expect too huge a quality gain over 1080p though. |

I understand you, I'd love to see a phone with 128GB internal storage (plus an additional 128GB micro sd  )

Can we eventually get H.265 on Honami via update?
If so, how likely do you think that will be?

Will the Honami be capable of using some form of SD card greater than 64GB ?

The thing is as far as I know micro sd cards with more than 64GB don't exist.
I hope for some change there, technically it shouldnt be such a problem...

Very sorry to talk about a already released phone (Z Ultra), but a big Brazilian site (tech specific, but not one of the best, IMO) got early access to the Z Ultra that will be produced here and sold around Christmas (yeah, that late :/ ), and they mention the phone has Digital TV (like the Japanese models have)...
By their image, looks like it needs a small accessory that is connected to the headphone jack, and, by my guess, uses an app to reproduce the content...
Anyone has any info on that? I know Brazil isn't the most talked place (though we had a Honami leak), and a Sony strange place also (Xperia ZL is called Xperia ZQ, for no reason at all, and where a Vaio Pro costs R$ 6.000,00, which is around 2560 USD), but this sound really strange...
I don't get people. Never Have, never will. |

^regarding eprice.. the 4K stuff is still doubtful. Ricky's friend also confirmed that it won't be there.

It's okay if it wasn't release with 4k video recording because it's useless right now and honami internal storage is 16 gig so it doesn't make sense but it's always good to be the first one to release it |

@moog, its cheaper in bulk than and individual buy for a 64GB card at 40/50$ ... plus like i said thats a max of 80, I need MOARRR.
i feel if im spending that kinda dough regardless that i shouldnt have LESS storage than i currently have, in aforementioned four year old device. i want an upgrade, not a sidestep, and not a downgrade.. $600+ and i have to buy a mem card thats slower overall 180MBps vs 15MBps.. i cannot be the only one that doesnt use the cloud for files and wants to share media without having to transfer files around.
Instead of extra lenscams, we should be upgrading the basics. as it is, they are missing the boat. 1080p screens and they ship phones with 16GB.. how is this sane? thats like 1 BDRip at quality.. ughh. i need to design a device.
you do know if QA fails a phone with 128GB, that phone is gone for good right? doesn't matter how cheap the bulk can be, it won't justify if the product yield rate reduces significantly. |
