News & Reviews:   Sony i1 Honami release date

Sony's upcoming cameraphone, the Sony i1 Honami has recently appeared in a number of leaked images. The first set of images look to be press shots of the smartphone. These press shots show what look to be international versions along with one set for NTT Docomo which is a carrier in Japan. The press images only show the front though with no indication of how the back looks like, perhaps to keep the camera part under wraps.

After the recent reveal of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, many of us were wondering when the other rumoured Sony smartphone would be coming out. This is of course referring to the Sony i1 Honami or better known as Sony's cameraphone. A number of leaks have appeared in various sites showing off images of what could be the upcoming Sony i1 Honami cameraphone. However, while the images do seem to match, the overall camera placement seems a bit off for it to have interchangable lens. We're still wondering how Sony are going to fit in a 20MP sensor inside such a thin chassis but since this is Sony, anything is possible. The lack of camera hump may also suggest that these aren't images of the Honami but of some other impending Sony smartphone. As luck would have it, Sony is rumoured to be having another event soon on 4 July 2013. We'll see then, but for now, take a look at the leaked pics.
