The sensor module will be used for the i1, ZL style i1 and i1 mini according to my source.

I am almost 100% certain that it is 1/2.3", the source is in SDI who make the sensors.

as expected...our hope is high for it...realism is not that perfect...

the equivalent lens is 28mm and the real focal length is 5mm (like you write in your post), which leads us to a crop factor of 5.6 and then a sensor size of 1/2.3" (crop factor of 5.64), the most common size for sensors of compact cameras : a very bad news because it is smaller than what we all expected. so this is true....from razec saw sample..but razec confirm f2 lens..not f2.2..

More from zomg


Well BIONZ for mobile is a software based engine that runs in a virtual machine on Krait based architecture. The VM starts when the camera app is opened and it will only be accessible by the Cyber-shot app. Afaik it is not really a processor, but software pretending to be a processor.

I don't know anything about a possible Xenon flash, if I were to take a guess, I would guess no because Sony haven't used Xenon since the C series and Satio which is four years and a different company ago. I think dual LED is what we will get.

As for the sensor, well Sony make a 2/3" sensor already for other camera companies, no 20MP one as has been rumoured, they tend to only go for high MP count in the smaller sensor cameras for whatever reason.



EDIT.

Here's a sensor size comparison

if zomg source is true...honami sensor will be based on HX50 instead?

20.4mp 1/2.3" Exmor R® CMOS sensor

1/2.3 only match s4 zoom and galaxy camera..
how to beat 808 or lumia 1020?

We don't know for sure. They could have made a new sensor for themselves, and deliberately kept it under the radar.
We can't really say anything till Honami is released.

My dear Jianlin, there is the slightest possibility of camera Honami, be better than the camera in 1020 and especially the 808 !

And I believe that this is not the intention of the Sony, S4 Zoom is the likely opponent Honami in image and video !

haha..at least the sensor is on par with s4 zoom n galaxy camera 1/2.3....i don't mind though...
but 1/1.5 is more awesome....but the image quality more important though...

This would explain the inconsistencies found in the exif data from the sample reviewed by Razec...
...no, wait, not even: Razec found a F2 apperture.

So my best guess is that Sony is trying, and managing, to keep the secret around Honami.

All we non-insiders know from Sony is that back in May, Kaz promised a bleeding edge (最新), top of the line specs (最強), xperia for 2013.

I would prefer the specs to follow Ramu's rumor, but we will eventually know, only 1 month and half to wait.
But in the end, what would make me buy it is that, as a package, it delivers the best low light performance among ios and android, more than the actual sensor size.
This is the type of things I think Sony should have in mind, i guess there are many people like me, i am changing my phone, will look for the best available one, and the only thing i am sure of is that i will not buy windows.
There is also the possibility that the mysterious device is a camera centric phone, with the design leaked by Maia and the latest XR5 specs provided by Ramu.

Anyways it's too hard to believe what zomg says. . .
He has been the most inconsistent all this time.
He changes his opinion and information like.no.other .
First he said that there won't be any honami kind of phone with great camera, sensor will be normal(1/3.2"), megapixel count will be 16mpx, dismissed bionz and what not.
Later on he suddenly changed his opinion and told that there is indeed a phone with 2/3" or 1/1.5" sensor with mobile bionz(hardware chip) and Sony G lens.
And now he is telling that there is only 1/2.3" sensor(in between the two), just software bionz and his silence regarding to G lens.
Morover pixel count of honami's sensor isn't 20."4" mpx!!! The last digit is something else !
Even the aperture is indeed f2 not f2.2

I was thinking, based on a comment on the thread similar to this on XDA... Honami will have a new UXP/UI... And we had a leak with a lot of new stuff. They are basically the updated 4.2.2 that Xperia Z/ZL got, and ZU is getting it.

Then someone commented that the firmware leak we had is pretty early, considering Honami will have a new UI at launch... Now I ask myself:

Why did not Sony just added the needed stuff to the actual Z firmware so that it could be shown with ZU (just framework and a few apps work, such as keyboard and Xperia Home), thus making the work much smaller for the devs, and then show the new UI on Honami?

Ok, this is a bit confusing, so tl;dr: Why create a new UI/apps for something that will last not even 3 months? Why not skip all of that and wait a bit longer?

maybe this leak was for the same purpose as what apple had done with its iphone prototypes leaking years ago.
