14 DAY TRIAL // Japanese mobile phone maker Sony Mobile has been recently rumored to plan the launch of some highly appealing Android smartphones in the second half of the year, including one that would pack a 16-megapixel or a 20-megapixel photo snapper.
Supposedly codenamed Honami, the smartphone will be accompanied by a so-called Togari handset, which is expected to pack a 6.44-inch 1080p display.
The main selling point of Honami, of course, is expected to be its back photo snapper, which is said to be a 1/1.6″ Exmor RS stacked sensor with Sony G Lens.
The info comes from VR-Zone, which also claims that the smartphone will pack either a xenon or dual-LED flash on the back.
The upcoming Sony mobile phone is supposedly packing one of the largest camera sensors on mobile phones, and definitely the largest one when it comes to Android devices, it seems.
Apparently, the camera will be bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Camera, though it won’t manage to measure up with that of Nokia’s 808 PureView.
As XperiaBlog reports, the smartphone is also rumored to pack new software and processing algorithms, along with a brand new camera UI.
Apparently, Sony will pack the device with a variety of features planned for its 2013 lineup of Cyber-shot cameras, while also planning on launching its own Augmented Reality app for its users, the same as Nokia did with its City Lens.
Rumor also has it that Sony is determined to launch the new device as a special product, and that it has everybody working on it. The smartphone’s design is said to include elements of glass, metal, and even Carbon Fiber.
For the time being, however, nothing has been officially confirmed on the smartphone, and we should wait for a formal announcement on it to learn more on what it will have to offer, so stay tuned for additional details.
