I can't wait for the SO-01F to be released for NTT DoCoMo. Hoping for the arrival in Sept soon.

Honami has a better speake. Not HTC One level but decent. Speakers on a phone aren't very important, if it's loud enough for ringtones and good enough to understand the occasional YouTube video it's fine.
nice to know, thanks. well, i think that asking for 2 speakers is more reasonable these days as screens are getting bigger like with the z ultra - more people would want to watch movies and play games on it and enjoy a bit better sound without earpiece.

@sami92a, I wouldn't call Go or Active flagship devices.
@DexterMoser
My point is that it isn't a massive step forward from Z, it's basically Z v1.5. Much like Arc S > Arc, it's an incremental upgrade to make for the original misgivings not really an entirely new device. I think if Sony advertised these incremental upgrades as just that then the real new devices would get much more anticipation and press coverage and probably more praise.
People here pick out Samsung as an example of a company with one main handset in each segment per year and getting much press coverage for it, but if you look at there portfolio they do many variations throughout the year but only build up to the one lead device, the variants and refreshes go without massive ad campaigns. Sony should learn this trick and not build us all up in here for what is essentially a Z with bug fixes.

The difference, though, between Z to Honami and Arc to Arc S/S to SL is that the latter two are incremental hardware updates (slight overclock, basically), whereas, IMO, Honami keeps Z "soul" but is also a new device: New screen tech, new speakers, better music amplifier, Better camera, improved design, new firmware, huge CPU and GPU update, etc etc...

ZU has massive issue as sleeping beauty. screen can shutdown when it likes to and never wake up again. people said it can be fixed by update, but a lot of them aren't fixed by upgrade until exchanged with another device. I hope we don't see the same thing on Honami.

arc s to arc was nothing but a minor cpu(just 400mhz) upgrade. While that isn't the case with honami.
cpu/gpu is almost 2x powerful.
screen is now the best in class while earlier it was just mediocre(in some cases)
possibly ip55/58 certified along with being shock proof(which takes it many notches above xz)
3000mAh battery is far bigger than xz
Camera as of now is going to be many times better than xz
2x speaker performance
major software improvements
Dedicated s master chip
Overall Honami is 2x-3x times the XZ.
I don't know how it is JUST an incremental update!
It would be better if we rather consider it an entirely new device(BECAUSE IT IS)!!!

+1 Totally agree ..
For music chip they will use Qualcomm WCD9320 ..

Honami doesn't seem as impressive as it did for good 200 - 300 pages ago.
Now I just feel meh because lens alone can't do miracles and shots taken by the prototypes haven't impressed me a bit.
This start to feel like a classic Sony anticlimax all over again.
I hope the announcement day will prove me wrong.
