All leaked images of White Xperia Honami agian, show a clear side profile of Xperia Honami, an open 3.5 mm water proof headphone jack, longer speaker grill at bottom which is very cool as small speaker grill on side at Xperia Z isn’t sufficient for louder output.

It seems Xperia Honami sports very thick bezels even thicker than Xperia Z ( not expected this time ).

Look at speaker grill, don’t you think it will be covered up when phone is held in portrait mode in hands.

Front 5″ display is flaunted ( Expected Triluminos display ). Again we saw branding of 20.7 MP camera with 1/2.3″ sensor with G-Lens” which was missing earlier today teased image of Xperia Honami.

Alleged Xperia Honami/Xperia Z1 Benchmark scores 30625 appears – Snapdragon 800 Confirmed

Just after day XDA Developer DooMLoRD tweeted saying that “Xperia Honami might be named as Xperia Z1 ( Z One ) instead of Xperia i1″, it seems that alleged benchmark of Xperia Hoanmi has appeared.

Alleged Xperia Z1 Benchmark scores 30625 – Snapdragon 800 Confirmed

In an alleged AnTuTu leak with a Chinese device named as “L39h” assumed to be Chinese version of Xperia Honami ( Xperia Z1 ) running on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Snapdragon 800, 2.3 GHz Quad-core Krait 400 CPU.

Xperia Honami aka Xperia Z1 speculations

Well it is certain that this benchmark has been taken on some initial firmware build, may be 14.1.G.1.493 firmware which was listed 5 days ago on PTCRB but today we spotted this 14.1.G.1.493 firmware has been removed from PTCRB site and now both Xperia Honami C6903/C6906 versions are missing from PTCRB listing.

It seems that as firmware improves this AnTuTu score of Xperia Z1 benchmark will improve and we expect it to atleast cross the 33K mark of Xperia Z Ultra Benchmark, as it scored 33099.

Xperia Honami aka Xperia Z1 is expected to feature 20.7 MP camera with 1/2.3″ sensor with G-Lens as seen in clear pics till now and 4k*2k UHD video capture / playback. Well it is expected that soon on 4 Sept. at IFA Event in Berlin we will see the official launch of Xperia Honami whose real name is still speculated…

Let us know how far these alleged Xperia Z1 Benchmark score excite you…

Thanks Robert 🙂

Yesterday XDA Developer DooMLoRD tweeted that Xperia Honami might be named as Xperia Z1 ( Z One ), well it is sure that Xperia Honami is on the cards and soon we will see its official launch…It looks a DooMLoRD’s tweet triggered something and with the removal of Xperia Honami listing, surely something is cooking up.

But what this predicts ? PTCRB removing the listing of Xperia Honami firmware…Is it because, 14.1.G.1.493 firmware was listed even before the launch of phone or there is another reason behind this…Existemce of Xperia Honami still remains a mystery 🙂 What do you think on this…

Xperia Z One name seems Sony is all set to follow the already established Xperia Z series, a trend already used by Samsung in Galaxy series.

It is expected that at IFA event at Berlin on 4 Sept, Xperia Honami may be unveiled. Well a few weeks more and soon we will come to know how true all Xperia Honami rumors are.

What do you think, which sounds more better Xperia i1 or Xperia Z1, to us Xperia Z1 sounds more cool…
