Teaser reveals high-end Sony Honami phone

A leaked official teaser image for Sony's "Honami" smartphone seems to confirm the rumored purple version of the phone.
The Xperia Honami is said to have a 1080p 5-inch Triluminos display with Sony's X-reality engine.

Under the hood is a powerful, quad-core 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB RAM. What makes the phone standout is a 20.7 megapixel camera with a Sony G-lens and BIONZ image processor.

LTE, BT 4.0, NFC and Wi-Fi are standard, and the device has a microSD slot.



Additionally, the phone will be IP57 certified, meaning the device can survive in water for 30 minutes and is also dust-proof.

According to the teaser, the phone will be officially unveiled in Berlin on September 4.

other than galaxy note II, i don't see any other satisfactory battery in high-end mobiles.

for the specs offered, it seems that it may be super-expensive.
