Why can't you have a 16:9 aspect ratio for 20MP pictures? This would be awesome if the Honami had this.
because it's impossible, physical wise
Honami's sensor uses 4:3 format, so cropping the sensor to 16:9 despite using up all available horizontal photosites will only yield a total of 13.6MP (5248*2592), so it's impossible to expect anything more than 13mp.

Is it me or does the supposed leaked render of the Honami look very similar to the Sony Xperia C670X mentioned many months ago?

2 questions
1- Will anything other than Honami be announced on August 4th?
2- Is Honami going to have carrier support from the first day? and Wikll the European carriers support it like they did with Xperia Z?

1. you mean september 4th? during IFA
I think maybe Honami as MAIN, and accessories as sub.
or together with Honami mini version. not many others I guess, in order to keep it Honami-aimed
2. have no idea >.>

Well, the dimension of Honami is really disappointing, especially now that it's sensor is smaller. It sort of lost its uniqueness and interest value. I think it will not be successful.
@XYZ, I dont think S800 have something to do with the phone thickness as Samsung S4 LTE-A's dimension remained exactly the same as S4. It should actually do the opposite as this new SOC have the modem built-in already compared to the one that can be found in ZL.
Besides, I have teardown Xperia ZL and I dont really think It would not be that impossible to fit all these features in a body close to ZL. I guess it is the thickness that is considered in Honami's design above all things. That's why.
I just really hope that Sony releases a Honami's L version with exactly the same features in similar body as ZL's. I would not mind an extra 2 mm of bezels but same thickness or even a 4.8" screen but anything more than that is quite uncomfortable to hold.
There's nothing so special about the S4 and it's so successful. Esatoians should start thinking based on the customers' viewpoint and NOT Nokia fanboy's. Generally, most consumers DON'T GIVE A DAMN about camera quality, moreover camera sensor size. As long I'm able to take decent photos quickly and upload it to Facebook, customers will buy it. I'm an avid Facebook user and guarantee the photos uploaded from phones are not the greatest of quality. Stop praising Nokia. The 1020 is indeed a great camera phone, but not the best smartphone. C690X will be a great smartphone with a great camera. You guys MUST STOP thinking it as a CAMERAPHONE. So sick of those useless trolls who declares that due to the camera sensor size, it's automatically a failure.

agreed with unknown:
why the dip and "disappointment" in honami?
it's a camera-centric smartphone, NOT a Phone Camera...
Come on guys...if we really want to shoot master quality, just buy a real professional photo camera, from Sony or other brands... it's about the whole package: its design, its performance, its other functions, not just taking photos, but also screen quality for watching videos, photos and playing games. we should focus on the other stuff as well.
really no need to complain and be disappointed JUST because of the sensor size. Same for complaints on "bezel" when we dont even have seen the official final design of Honami. If you want to imagine, just imagine it as a Z & ZU perfect combination, its that simple >.

Personally I think Honami's sensor willl outclass the one used by HX50v, but remember it's not just the sensor that dictates image quality, for instance an APS-C 60D with canon L glass will outperform a full frame dual-digic5 1Dx using cheap lens. RX100 will do the same thing on an A99 with a standard Sony (not Zeiss or G-lens) glass.

So, the Honami mini is supposed to be announced at the same event as Honami? What do we know about the mini? I think i´ve read somewhere (probably here) that the mini should have roughly the same hardware and not cheap-out like samsung with their mini's.
Is there a chance that Honami mini and "ray 3" is the same device? And it will be out Q1 2014? Do we know anything about price?

I think honami will use 2/3 sensor because the ISO of honami leaked camera can go up to 12800. I think if the sensor is 1/2.3, the ISO couldn't reach 12800. This is my opinion only and I could be wrong but I hope I'm not
@napalhm
Honami mini is ray 3

even there was news about honami mini, I still doubt its existence... dont feel like that Sony copies Samsung or HTC strategy of releasing mini's.
I just read that HTC will release: HTC One Mini, and HTC One Max... My 1st reaction:
