Any info on expected price of the SP and approx month of launch in India ?

what's different?

Looks nice, although an aluminium frame sounds like a really bad idea...

If the camera spec is real then I'd think: Why would they go back to an older sensor?? Unless the 13.1mpx sensor that's in our XZ isn't good enough...

If it's using an Exmor RS sensor, then that's not old at all but the absolute latest and greatest from Sony. It's just that it'll use an 8MP version vs. the 13MP version on the Z and ZL.

I already have a Z, so this seems to be a step down in everything but the SOC. Besides I love the 5" screen size it is perfect for reading while it still fits in my pocked.

Maybe among the phones released last year only: Nexus 4, LG Optimus G and HTC Butterfly (and their variants) have better specs (SoC) than Xperia SP.
BTW, according to the white paper, SP uses Corning Gorilla glass without a shater-proof sheet..
And Xperia L seems to use glass made by SCHOTT, again no mention of a shatter-proof sheet.
Does this mean no more pre-installed shatter-proof sheets by Sony Mobile?

Great mid-range phone.
Seems like a great mid-range phone to me. Of course everything seem better in their adds but I was honestly positively surprised when I saw it.
Having doubts though about the functionality an smoothness of the phone. I've been using Sony XPERIA S and with a 1.5 GHZ Dual-Core processor and 1 GB of RAM it was quite laggy even when using their built-in APPS like Walkman. At times it would stutter and force close even when other APPS were closed. Since Sony got rid of Ericsson I've become a huge Sony fan especially with their latest release the XPERIA Z. Their designs are formidable in my opinion and I guess many people will agree with me. The translucent bar in the S and the SP is something notable, probably a battery drainer but non the less a nice add to create something different, elegant and "sexy".
I'm very pleased to see another, newer device of Sony with this translucent bar. It'd be a nice second phone to keep with me just in case something happens with my future XPERIA Z or HTC ONE!
YES, definitely not going to buy the S4, design disappoints me and am genuinely sick of Samsung using cheap materials. Specs? Thumbs up Samsung!

It refers to a Sony Mobile press invite in France taking place on Thursday 4 July at 09.30
The pictures says that the invite is translated to the following: “Sony Mobile reserves a big surprise for you“. Note the ‘big’ in that sentence.
The graphic then shows the following hand written text: “Do not forget to mark your calendars!” It shows the text being written by a stylus, giving more credence to rumours that the 6.4-inch device will support an input device such as a stylus or pencil.
What we’re not sure about is that the Xperia Z Ultra is rumoured to be water resistant, yet the headphone jack is open with no port covering it.

i will forget any other devices if it has 3GB RAM
and it will get camera button? (however it s not important)
But what about Stylus abilities? what will be special thing for it?

I have read a comment in xperiablog that says maybe because the device is too thin to sport a 13MP ? It make sense to me, altought I prefer a less thiner device with a 13Mp camera, you can't name a device "Ultra" without putting in it all the best material available at the moment...
The info is all over the net, so nothing exclusive here.
edit : 3G RAM isn't credible.

can someone make a size comparison picture with note 2, ZU, Z and Zl? What was the rumor size for Honami?

If this is true, then it would be thinner than de Z. Well, I think the Z is thin enough. Thinner than the Z must feel really fragile. They'd better make it a tad thicker and put a huge battery inside.

I think Sony is going to use size for marketing, so ZU case would be thin, ZL would be small, either or Z is balance in between. Tablet Z is super thin as well.

why do you need 3gb RAM ?
Frmo the 2gb in the XZ (1.84... aviable) i mostly only use 800-1200mb.
What app does need that much memory ? If you think that RAM always needs power....

So is it a phone or a tablet? Am I missing the Frequency designations?

it's a phablet. Dheh!
A phone to replace or substitute a tablet. A mini tablet without needing a seperate phone.
I say well done sony for having the balls, and if I didn't own the xperia z I would definetley consider this.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

Togari is gonna be a huge mistake I guess. But Honami might have a bright future. I have many of my friends saying that the Z is too large already and that they'd prefer an HTC ONE or yes, iPhone 5. I can't imagine myself walking around with a 6.4" screen phone and probably won't. The Honami I'm much more curious about and most likely will buy it when released.

Maybe you should take a moment to check:

Community Sony Mobile page (link in the OP) - https://www.facebook.com/SonyXperiaZpage
It's 100% fake. Infact, it's not fake, it's just stating what we already know.

I think we all know they'll be updating the Xperia Z. It might not be the star of the show any longer but it certainly certified for 4.3. Sony themselves said they would update the phone. 4.3 doesn't really bring many most have features so I am not particularity rushing for it. What I do want are some of those xperia Z1 app enhancements in my Z.

We dont know what specification will 4.4 require, but the rumour says that its gonna be refreshed, super-light even for 500mb RAM smartphones. That, and the fact Xperia Z is not even a year old, still supported by qualcomm, makes me sure it definitely will be upgraded to 4.4. What is more Xperia Z was truely (not counting me) first SONY phone, which attracts clients. I mean first which does matter on market ( S and T didnt matter at all), there is too many people who bought this device, if SONY abandon such a great group its gonna be disaster for future flagships.

Very true, and the fact that Z finally started the Sony quest to be recognized as a serious contender in the Flagship race. The reason i am not looking forward to 4.3 is mainly because it does not bring anything new to the table, so if it had to be one upgrade, it would rather be the latest. That said we always have XDA and Z is a pretty good device on a whole, so we should keep getting unofficial support for sometime.

To be honest Sony have made their name fairly well. But like you said 4.3 doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table in terms of usability. That said I've only seen rumours and such rather than hard facts from Google themselves. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

But there are also other costs, like research and development and such.. So i would say, roughly 50-75 euro/dollar per unit..

that is one fugly phone... looks more like the LG L series that a sony IMO...

did they use lego to build this thing?

It needs some color accents, I don't think the washout white is very complimentary. 5.8" screen is too big for me, the 5" XZ1 screen is already pushing it. It's bigger than a Note! The concave edge design is interesting, I think I like it, but it seems like the edges and corners are too sharp. It looks very "cut out" from certain angles. The specs are mind-boggling, though, not sure how they're making that work.

People... Learn how to read -.-

The black one is interesting. The spects are ok but I worry about the service and warranty. The material maybe are cheap but I like the idea. If the phone do his job is worth it to buy for that price. Also difference between "Made in Taiwan" or like Sony "Made in China" shouldn't be there. When you buy Sony you also pay for the Trademark .

Tell me about it! I had to use Huawei Ascend P6 for 5 weeks while my Z1 was repaired/replacwd. The Chinese quad core 1.5GHz in the P6 sounds beefy, but in real usage, it was so slow and laggy, the S400 in the Motorola G runs circles around it!
PS. The 5 weeks repair was due to I went on Xmas holiday soon after leave my phone for repair, and did not pick it up after returning.

Cant find much difference in this and z2, except for smaller speaker grills maybe. And given the rumoured specs, its more like z2s lol

@iRimas
Will you get this one as well soon?
Another awesome device from Sony...
Can't wait October to buy something new
I only hope there'll be the reason to buy it...
If Sony stay on S800/801, I'm quite sure I'll skip this one...

Thanks for sharing irimas. second leak of the same design. to me it looks to be z3. the design look fine to me but i'll have an opinion after seeing the whole device in higher quality pics, not these purposely blurred once for obvious reasons. with that said, my next device if probably z4, not this one, but it's nice to see the design as this should share more or less the same design with z4.

I love the sides and bottom design :

Wait, aosp launcher? lol
I have seen different view of the leak at gsmarena. I doubt it is real because the size is pretty small.

Maybe it's the Z3C

Like Nokia 925 ! I don't like it and I hope it's a feke pictures

I will skip this one. Hopefully, Z4 will be a true rival to iPhone and SamSung Galaxy.

how could the hardware probably be different from the Z2 ?
Snapdragon S805 ? and more ? 5.5" screen ? maybe in 2560x1440 ? still 3gb ram !

Wondering why one of two is always ugly...
Z was great, Z1 not, Z2 amazing, Z3 awful...
Hope Z4 will be perfect again

You have screenshots in OP where you can read it's still S800/801 - I really hope S805 will be available for Z3 - it's not good to have three-four devices with a same chipset (same/similar or old cpu but overclocked - to higher values, of course)

we should see S805 for Z4 in MWC 2015...
and they still didn't increase the camera pixels for Z3,Z1 & Z2 already 20.7MP...

To be honest, I don't see a need to upgrade higher pixel for the camera. What's more important is the optimization of the camera in my humble opinion.
Also, as long as Sony continue naming its flagship Z3,Z4 and so on, then I believe it will continue the omnibalance design of the Z. Usually Sony introduce a new product name if it comes with a new design. Then again, its just an opinion of mine.. I could be wrong.
Regarding the S801, if Sony were to use it on Z3 then Z3 would be the last flagship of the Z line. Since they will look to clear all their SoC stocks.
Personally, if Z3 is released similar to what the leaks are, then Z2 would probably the best option to stay with.

Looks the same...

is it me, or are these phones getting too damn big? the Z3 is the size of a NOTE 3! come on Sony, that's nuts. do what you want with the Ultra for a phablet, but please, keep your phones at a reasonable size. the Z2/GS5/M8 are already a bit beyond what i think is "too big" (perfect size would probably be a GS4).
why not:
1. make the bezels and top and bottom smaller -- instead of bigger!
2. increase earpiece/speaker volume from the Z2
3. put a next-gen CPU/GPU combo in it, but maintain standard HD resolution. (forget about pointlessly chasing 2K pixels on a bloody handset like dumb LG/Samsung are trying to do)
4. use Gorilla Glass 3 (or 4, if that exists by the time of release)
5. optimize the camera software/hardware so that 20MB photography isn't only manual
6. increase brightness of the screen for outdoor viewing
7. make 64GB and worldwide LTE bands standard issue
this would be perfect.
